33across id module: does not work in Europe; still sends network request

[patmmccann]

Type of issue

bug

Description

33across id module has a gvlid and the module passes gdpr consent strings

Should we just delete the gvlid from the module?

Expected results

gdpr enforcement suppresses 33across, or the module suppresses the endpoint call when gdpr applies

Actual results

33across responds with a we do not support this country error

33 across drops all requests with usnat strings now

We'd look to see both of these issues rectified before Prebid 9 or risk some sort of enforcement by Prebid js team. Your module should prevent network traffic in unsupported regimes.

@patmmccann Developer from 33Across here. We are looking into the issue regarding US Nat and are working on a fix.

[curlyblueeagle]

@patmmccann we released a fix yesterday to our servers and seen a big reduction in the number of US Nat requests dropped. Can you please try again? Also do you mind sharing the details of you tests that resulted in requests being dropped? So we can try them at our end too and make sure we haven't missed anything? Thanks.

[patmmccann]

Awesome! We'll send you a test page shortly

Thanks! The test page now appears to be making calls and getting proper responses from our endpoint. So I am assuming US Nat is no longer an issue.

With respect to GPDR we plan to implement your suggestion #10714 (comment) in that same PR. Our developer working on it will get back to you over there.

[patmmccann]

@curlyblueeagle tyvm! I will mark that pr as closes this issue. Thanks for the engagement!

[curlyblueeagle]

No problem, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

@patmmccann We have made the GDPR changes based on what was suggested.

Changes have been incorporated to PR 10714

[carlosfelix]

Just a reminder that changes are part of PR 10714, please take a look when you have a chance.

[patmmccann]

Excellent thanks for your attention on this!
