Quantcast is broken right now. 19 May 2023 @ 08:26 UST

Quantcast Choice, the cookie privacy consent notice of choice for many (most?) sites is broken right now.
Neither of the buttons do anything on Safari on iOS.
I've removed Quantcast from AVForums until they fix it.
Our ad ops manager is in contact with someone high up at Quantcast right now about it.

I can't even logon to their own site to check/revert the version because their own choice box pops up and can't be acknowledged - that is with Edge on Windows too, not just Safari.

How the ***** did that get released?

From our ad ops manager:

My Ad Ops groups are going ape****, absolute radio silence from quantcast.

So for the moment, we've switched to Google Ad Manager's CMP.

Quantcast is fixed, now. Switched back to it. The wording is better than Google's

An incident like that hardly inspires any confidence in them though does it?

Absolutely not and we're likely to change soon.

All consent management software (with enabled TCF framework) were broken since May 18 evening. There was a broken json vendor list uploaded at consensu.org (global registry where all TCF data is collected from) which caused all consent management software with enabled TCF framework to not be able to render the consent widget any more.

This has been solved. Many software providers have provided a hot fix. In addition also the broken file at consensu.org has been updated, so you would just need to delete your TCF cache to recover from that issue (or install the hot fix from your software provider).
