Establishing the version of the Consent Management Platform

Updated

This article describes how you can establish which version your Settings-ID uses.

We continuously improve our Consent Management Platform (CMP) and have released several new versions of our CMP.
Over time we endeavor to migrate all accounts to the latest version - you will of course receive a heads up with sufficient lead time.

Differentiation between Admin versions

You can access your account using the Usercentrics Account Interface.
Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or our support team to discuss your upgrade options if you don’t have a Company in the Account Interface yet. In the meantime, you can find your existing CMP configurations / Setting-IDs under Unassigned.

You should see either of the following User Interfaces.

Admin Interface Version 1
Admin Interface Version 2
Admin Interface Version 1

This Settings-ID uses Version 1 of our Admin Interface. The menu includes General and Advanced, which are located in a different menu in version 2.
You can switch to version 2 of the Admin in the dropdown menu in near the top left of the screen.

Admin Interface Version 2

In this version the menu includes Implementation, which was located in a different menu in Admin version 1.
You can find the script tags to implement versions 2 or 3 under Implementation. We obviously encourage you to update to version 3 if you currently still use version 1 or 2.

Differentiation between scripts

You can see which CMP version you're currently using by looking at the script that you've implemented on your website.

CMP version 1
CMP version 2
CMP version 3
<script
  type="application/javascript"
  src="https://app.usercentrics.eu/latest/main.js"
  id="XXXXXXX"
></script>

This version is very different from versions 2 and 3. Note the use of the id for the Settings-ID instead of the data-settings-id attribute, the use of type="application/javascript", and the value of the src attribute.

<script
  id="usercentrics-cmp"
  data-settings-id="XXXXXXXX"
  src="https://app.usercentrics.eu/browser-ui/latest/loader.js" 
  async
></script>

In this version the script id is now a description of the service, rather than the Settings-ID, which now has it's own data attribute data-settings-id.
The type has now been omitted, which means it will be the default type, which is "text/javascript" in this version.

<script
  id="usercentrics-cmp"
  data-settings-id="XXXXXXXX"
  src="https://web.cmp.usercentrics.eu/ui/loader.js" 
  async
></script>

This script for this version is virtually identical to version 2. The only difference is the value of the src attribute, which is now "https://web.cmp.usercentrics.eu/ui/loader.js" instead of "https://app.usercentrics.eu/browser-ui/latest/loader.js".
