We've made updates to our API and widget ad tags to support GDPR consent parameters. Our latest widget ad tags now support an optional data attribute data-gdpr and data-gdpr-consent that can be populated prior to loading our script. Our API and legacy widget ad tags support the optional parameters gdpr and gdpr_consent within the URL.
Additionally, we now support the usage of IAB's GDPR consent management provider API's for exchanging GDPR consent string. We currently support both API v1 and API v2 for consent exchange. Publishers supporting either v1 or v2 version of consent provider API and are required to expose either function __cmp or __tcfapi on their pages in order to return consent string. On our widget load, consent provider API is called with a timeout of 200ms.
