How can I tell if a Major, Minor or Patch Change has occurred in my SettingsID?

Patch change history

You can check the versioning of the Usercentrics CMP script in the Usercentrics Admin Interface.
You can find this information under the Implementation section, on the Script Tag tab, in the Live Version section.

Major, Minor and patch changes are encoded in the patch version. If we take the version that is current at the time this document written; version 6.3.46:

• The first number (6) indicates a major update.
• The second number (3) indicates a minor change.
• The third number (46) indicates a patch update.

Major changes

• Adding or changing a purpose
• Adding or removing new data collected
• Adding or changing data recipients
• New processing company
• New retention period
• Change (adding or removing) of data location (when outside of EU)
• Change in data transfer to Third Countries
• Change in legal basis (when consent is required for a service that was under legitimate interest before)
• Adding a new Data Processing Service
• Removing a Data Processing Service
• Customizing a pre-defined Data Processing Service

Minor changes

• Change in address of processing company
• Change in data protection officer
• Small typos or changes in wording, which do not change the meaning
• Change in opt-out link
• Technologies used
• Category label
• Change in link to privacy policy/cookie policy
• Changes in the description of service

Patch changes

• Small updates that have even less impact than a minor change will be tracked as patch change, for example updates of the banner color.

Connection between updates of data processing services and the Settings Version

Whenever you run a major, minor or patch update (see list above) on a data processing service, this will also add one count up in the Settings Version.

For example: Your Settings Version is 5.3.7 and you have a data processing service in version 2.6.1. You now run a minor update on that data processing service. This will result in the Settings Version being changed to 5.4.7 and the version of the data processing service being changed to 2.7.1.
