What’s new in Pandectes 5.0.0

Focused on the official launch of Banner v2, TCF 2.3, and Global Privacy Control.

Version 5 brings the power of our new Banner v2 engine to everyone, delivering a 40% faster load time and deeper integration with Shopify’s latest Privacy APIs.

Here’s what’s new in Pandectes v5.0.0:

Highlights

• Banner v2 by Default: Version 5 officially makes the new, faster banner the standard for all new installations.
• TCF 2.3 Support: Updated the app to support the latest IAB TCF 2.3 transparency and consent framework.

New Features

• Global Privacy Control (GPC): Implemented automatic detection and honoring of GPC signals, specifically for CCPA/CPRA compliance, including a dedicated “GPC Signal Honored” UI indicator.

Improvements

• New Integrations: Refactored the integrations engine to include cards for Amazon and other third-party services with clearer status badges.
• High-Speed Geolocation Server: Switched to a new geolocation server using fetch instead of XHR, successfully avoiding “Options” pre-flight requests to speed up banner appearance for global users.
• Custom Brand Integration: Added support for custom logos and icons directly within the consent widget for a more unified brand experience.

Fixes

• Klaviyo Stability: Implemented a critical fix for Klaviyo integration to ensure proper identification promises are met.
• Aria-Labeling: Improved accessibility with better ARIA labels for banner headers and category switches.
• Case-Insensitive Triggers: Updated banner reopening triggers to be case-insensitive, resolving issues where themes might force lowercase links.

We hope these updates enhance your experience with our application. Thank you for your continued support.
