DG Release - 10 March 2026

Universal Consent Platform (UCP) Accessibility Improvements

• Fixed accessibility issues related to the ARIA label for the close button.

• Improved keyboard focus management to ensure focus remains trapped within the consent banner and options dialog until the user completes a consent action, improving accessibility compliance and user experience.

   

IAB CMP Compliance Fixes

• Resolved issues in the IAB CMP implementation related to Policy Checks PC17, PC18, PC31, and PC32.
• Updated the secondary layer messaging to clearly inform users when third-party vendors process personal data based on legitimate interest, and to explicitly communicate the user’s right to object to such processing.
• These updates improve alignment with the requirements of the Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe Transparency and Consent Framework and the General Data Protection Regulation.

Reporting & UI Improvements

• Updated the Consent Rate Heatmap color legend to improve visibility and better differentiate consent rate ranges.
• Fixed tooltip number formatting in the UCP Consent Dashboard to display values with comma-separated separators for improved readability.

AdNotice

• Resolved an issue in the Adnotice application where the Generic icon use case was incorrectly displaying the “AdChoices” phrase. The application now properly handles the Generic icon scenario without showing the AdChoices label.
