Additional notes
We use a privacy technology vendor named Onetrust to power much of our privacy infrastructure.
Several of our websites reported users are encountering site functionality problems when trying to exercise their privacy rights, such as opting out of sharing data and targeted advertising. My team investigated and was able to reproduce the reported bug.
We discovered the cause of the bug is that users with ad blocker extensions or on a browser such as Firefox are by default blocking two domains from our privacy vendor OneTrust which are critical to the functioning of our CMP (Consent Management Platform):
These three domains are used solely for the essential services needed to run our privacy software. They're not used for marketing, sales, or advertising. Blocking them not only causes site functionality issues it keeps our users from being able to exercise their privacy rights.
