Collect the user consent
As of November 13, 2023, Ogury Choice Manager is deprecated, meaning it will no longer be supported or updated.
Consequently, no new consent notices will be delivered through Ogury Choice Manager's APIs. Therefore, it is strongly advised against using Ogury Choice Manager in new versions of applications. In case you have migrated to a new Consent Management Platform (CMP), ensure that Ogury and its partners are included as vendors.
For earlier versions of applications still using Ogury Choice Manager, the API will maintain its functionality, continuing to return consent for users who have previously responded to a consent notice. This will remain in effect until their consent expires.
Ogury Choice Manager handles user consent collection and storage for all your vendors, with a simple integration, ensuring compliance with the GDPR regulation. Your users are shown a single consent notice giving them the choice of the data they want to share, if any.
As a solution approved by the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), Ogury Choice Manager not only meets the letter of the law, but is also aligned with all relevant best practice standards.
But where other solutions draw the line here, Ogury Choice Manager goes one step further by incorporating vendors that fall outside of IAB jurisdiction, including Facebook and Google. The net result is a definitive, one-stop consent notice that covers most vendors available on the market today.
Alternatively, if you already have a consent manager you can transmit the consent through the third-party consent manager integration.
Requirements
You have a registered application on your Ogury Dashboard. If not, please refer to the getting started section before the next steps.
Step 1: Setup Ogury SDK
In order to use Ogury Choice Manager you have to setup the SDK first. This method must be called before any other Choice Manager method. We recommend to call setup in AppDelegate
class, function didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
before starting any UIViewController
.
You can call the setup method as follows:
For version
2.0.0.1
and above :
For version
1.5.2.0
:
If you don't have the Asset Key of your application, please refer to the first step.
Step 2: Get the user consent
To collect the user consent for the all registered vendors, call the ask
method in the viewDidLoad
of your ViewController
.
This method displays a consent notice allowing the user to choose with which vendors and purposes they agree to share data. This notice is only displayed when there is no existing consent status for this user. Otherwise the ask
method synchronizes the consent signal and makes it available through the SDK methods.
You can call the ask
method as follows:
The ask
method takes the following parameters:
the current
ViewController
a
completionBlock
to listen to changes of the consent signal. This completion block provides two parameters :
Parameters | Definition |
| A consent notice has been displayed to the user or the consent status has been synchronized. You can handle the status of the consent to use it with vendors' SDKs. Learn more about user consent handling. |
| An error occurred. In this case, nothing is displayed to the user and the consent status is not synchronized. Learn more about consent error handling. |
Theask
method must be called at each launch of your application to be sure to have an up-to-date consent status.
Integration example
You must initialize Ogury Ads in the completion block of the ask
method to have the user consent for the first ad impression.
Note that the Ogury SDK will only serve non-personalized ads, lowering your expected revenue, if (i) you don't initialize the Ogury Ads in these completion block, or if (ii) an error occurs.
Once the Ogury Ads are correctly initialized, the user consent is automatically synchronized across all Ogury products.
Step 3: Allow users to edit their consent
As per the GDPR regulation, publishers need to ensure the users can access and edit their consent choices through their application at any time.
The edit
method forces the display of the consent notice and let users update their choices. If an error occurred, nothing is displayed to the user. In this case, you need to handle the error to inform the user.
The edit
method takes the following parameters:
the current
ViewController
a
completionBlock
to listen to changes of the consent signal. This completion block provides two parameters :
Parameters | Definition |
| A consent notice has been displayed to the user or the consent status has been synchronized. You can handle the status of the consent to use it with vendors' SDKs. Learn more about user consent handling. |
| An error occurred. In this case, nothing is displayed to the user and the consent status is not synchronized. Learn more about consent error handling. |
We recommend to expose a button to edit the consent in the application settings.
Step 4: Finish your integration
Congratulations! Ogury Choice Manager is now implemented. You can now go back to the getting started section and finish your integration.
However, should you have other vendors' SDKs processing user data, you can learn how to transmit them the consent signal in the Transmit consent to other SDKs article.
Advanced Topics
Possible user answer
In the reponse
parameter of completion block, you can get the answer of the user through an Answer
object. The Answer
has one of the following values:
Answer values | Definition |
| The user has approved all vendors and all purposes displayed in the consent notice. |
| The user has approved some vendors and/or some purposes displayed in the consent notice. |
| The user has refused all vendors and all purposes displayed in the consent notice. |
| The user has not responded. |
Error handling
If Ogury Choice Manager fails to get the consent signal for any reason during an ask
or an edit
, the completion block provides an error
parameter. This parameter contains the cause of the failure.
To get this cause, you can call the following method:
The error can be one of the following:
Code | Value | Definition |
| 0 | The device has no internet connection. Try again when the device is connected to Internet. |
| 1 | The Asset Key passed in the method is unknown. Make sure to copy the exact Asset Key from the Ogury Dashboard (see the getting started section for more information). It may also occur while new configurations are propagating immediately following the creation of the application. |
| 2 | The bundle registered on the Ogury Dashboard does not match the iOS bundle of the running application. Check that you have copied the Asset Key corresponding to the current application from the Ogury Dashboard (see the getting started section for more information). |
| 3 | The server has failed to respond because of an internal error. Please try again. |
| 4 | An internal SDK error has occurred. Please try again. |
| 1000 | The device is in a region not allowed to show the consent. |
| 1001 | The |
| 1002 | The request has time out. Please try again. |
| 1003 | Form side error has occurred. Please try again. |
| 1004 | Data parsing error has occurred. Please try again. |
| 1006 | The edit option is disabled because the user has paid. |
| 1007 | iOS user restricted from consent |
| 1008 | The current user is geo-restricted from consent. |
