Hello IMA team,
some publishers, that embed our player, notified us about a session-cookie called GED_PLAYLIST_ACTIVITY which is set when the user did not give consent via their TCF 2.0 CMP. We further looked into that issue and saw that the Google IMA, which we load in our player, is setting this session cookie in a loop within
https://s0.2mdn.net/instream/video/client.js by only checking whether cookies are enabled via "navigator.cookieEnabled".
What is your opinion on setting such a session-cookie when no TCF consent was given and for which TCF purposes and vendor is this cookie used? In case a user consent is required, how could we disable setting this cookie?
Maybe as background: even if we cannot monetize via DoubleClick, because we did not receive consent, we use Google IMA to request another ad-server to display alternative video-ads that do not require consent. Not loading IMA when there is no consent would defeat this use-case.
Looking forward to you help on this topic.
Regards, Tobias
