Test legal basis changes consent gate option

Legal basis changes is a possible option when configuring GDPR consent gates for your message scenarios. By using this option for the GDPR consent gate, your organization is deciding to surface a particular message because the legal basis used by a vendor has changed from when an end-user originally consented to the vendor and now requires new consent (e.g. legitimate interest --> consent). 

In this article, we will cover the different ways you can test the legal basis changes consent gate option.

• Manually test legal basis changes
• Test legal basis changes via query string

Manually test legal basis changes

In order to test this configuration manually, your organization can perform the following:

1. Collect consent for an end-user on your web property
2. Edit the legal basis for a vendor's purpose in the vendor list associated with the web property
3. Refresh the web page*
4. Test to see if message appears to collect consent (ensure change to legal basis appears in the privacy manager)

Test legal basis changes via query string

Alternatively, Sourcepoint provides a query string parameter that your organization can append to the web property's URL which will simulate a legal basis change on your vendor list (eliminating the need to actually change a legal basis to your vendor list). 

To simulate a legal basis change to your vendor list when accessing a web property, include the query string parameter _sp_legal_basis_changes to your URL and set the value to true. 

_sp_legal_basis_changes=true

When the query string parameter is detected, Sourcepoint servers will act as if there is a legal basis change on your vendor list and serve your configured message (if all other conditions are met in your scenario step).
