CMP Settings Update and Autostart Viewable Fix

New Feature

Your Consent Management Platforms (CMP) settings just got easier with disableConsentManagementOnNoCmp. Designed for regions where GDPR is not applicable, this setting ensures that Player Bidding adapts its user privacy and compliance if a CMP does not return a tcfapi() value.

Bug Fixes

We resolved a Player Bidding issue where player configurations using autostart failed to send bids with the correct video.playbackmethod in prebid requests. This fix ensures improved accuracy and compliance in our Player Bidding system.
