Laws Report

We have improved the Laws Report from the aspect of performance, accuracy, and overall user experience.

With this improvement, we are looking at enhanced visitor tracking and UI/UX consistency. Head over to Domain Settings -> Laws report. 

Refactored Data Mapping Logic:
Previously, the chart was mapped through template names. The new implementation maps data based on predefined regions, ensuring cleaner, more meaningful visualizations.

Visitor Tracking Update:
The report now tracks visitor data instead of only consent data. This change is supported by an improved backend logic for more accurate reporting and region-specific insights.

You can now jump straight from a cookie in the scan report to its classification screen with a single click.
