Today, we have introduced performance improvements to Templates and Designs pages.

We have significantly optimized our API to deliver a faster and more efficient experience, especially for users managing large numbers of templates and designs.

• We are now loading only the essential headers initially, and then the full template only when needed.
• This targeted loading strategy dramatically improves performance for our Enterprise customers with hundreds or thousands of templates, resulting in faster response times and a smoother workflow.

Enhanced Domains Page Performance

We've implemented performance optimisations for the Domains page, leading to an 66% improvement in loading speed.

Introducing Enhanced Privacy Policy Generation

Our Privacy Policy generator now leverages data from your Scan Report to accurately identify and include information about the cookies and services used on your website. This ensures your Privacy Policy remains up-to-date and compliant with the latest regulations.

Introducing a refreshed Consents Report

We've enhanced the visual appeal and usability of the Consents Report for a more intuitive user experience.

Find the updated Consents Report under Domain Settings -> Consents.

Faster Policies Page

We have released some performance enhancement for the Policies page, resulting in a substantial reduction in loading times.

Our testing has shown a significant 88% improvement in loading time for Policies page.

Enhancements

• Rescan Consistency: Improved the user experience during the rescan process. The "Scan Report" and "Tracking Sources" sections now display a consistent "loading" state while the scan is in progress.
• Enhanced Cookie Banner: Implemented <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> in the cookie banner for improved SEO.
• Category Opt-out Functionality:
  • We have enhanced category opt-out functionality in the Preference Center.
  • Checkbox label now accurately reflects the opt-out action ("Click here to opt-out of all {} services").
  • Clicking the category opt-out checkbox now correctly disables all associated service checkboxes.
  • Consent preferences are now correctly stored after opting out of a category.
