IMA SDK, TCF and GDPR

[Christopher Almeida-Symons]

Hello,

I have a set up where I use the IMA SDK to play VAST tags on various sites. Some of these sites use the IABs TCF and I have found that this is causing an issue when the VAST tag is trying to retrieve the XML from doubleclick.

When looking at the network request I can see a query parameter "gdpr_consent" being added, and it is this query parameter that I believe is causing the issue, as when I remove this the XML is returned.

After creating a basic test page I got a CORS issue from 

https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.436.0_en.html#goog_1587413434 

which states: 

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://ad.doubleclick.net/{rest of url}' from origin 'https://imasdk.googleapis.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Would someone be able to give me some advice on how to prevent these issues occurring?

Many Thanks,

Chris

Hi there,

Not receiving ads when the SDK ads the gdpr_consent parameter may be working as intended, you may want to make sure your CMP is set up correctly.  Publisher integration with the IAB TCF v2.0 may help you.

We have a guide for CORS setup for VAST. To help in this regard, you can use our sample apps as a source of correct implementation.
