Fix Microsoft Clarity consent API property names for GDPR compliance (#786)
Fixes critical Microsoft Clarity consent implementation to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements ahead of the October 31, 2025 enforcement deadline. ## Problem The Microsoft Clarity consent API call was using incorrect property names, preventing proper consent signal transmission: ```javascript // ❌ Incorrect - using camelCase clarity('consentv2', { ad_Storage: this.consentState.ad_storage, analytics_Storage: this.consentState.analytics_storage }); ``` This meant that user consent preferences were not being properly communicated to Microsoft Clarity, potentially causing compliance issues for users in EEA, UK, and Switzerland regions. ## Solution Updated the consent API call to use the correct property names as specified in Microsoft's documentation: ```javascript // ✅ Correct - using lowercase with underscores clarity('consentv2', { ad_storage: this.consentState.ad_storage, analytics_storage: this.consentState.analytics_storage }); ``` ## Testing Added comprehensive testing tools including Microsoft's recommended verification function: ```javascript // Microsoft's official verification function clarity('metadata', (d, upgrade, consent) => { console.log('consentStatus:', consent); }, false, true, true); ``` The implementation now correctly shows: - **Consent DENIED**: `{analytics_storage: "DENIED", ad_storage: "DENIED"}` - **Consent GRANTED**: `{analytics_storage: "GRANTED", ad_storage: "GRANTED"}` ## Screenshot ![Consent Verification Test Results](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/321326c8-f7bf-4997-8ef9-3aa142a95a0c) The test page demonstrates successful consent state management with proper API integration. ## Impact - ✅ **Compliance**: Site now properly implements Microsoft Clarity consent mode - ✅ **Privacy**: User consent preferences are correctly respected - ✅ **Functionality**: Clarity tracking works as expected based on consent state - ✅ **Future-proof**: Ready for October 2025 enforcement requirements This minimal but critical fix ensures that essentialcsharp.com maintains proper user privacy controls while enabling full Microsoft Clarity functionality when consent is granted. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- ✨ Let Copilot coding agent [set things up for you](https://github.com/IntelliTect/EssentialCSharp.Web/issues/new?title=✨+Set+up+Copilot+instructions&body=Configure%20instructions%20for%20this%20repository%20as%20documented%20in%20%5BBest%20practices%20for%20Copilot%20coding%20agent%20in%20your%20repository%5D%28https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-tips%29%2E%0A%0A%3COnboard%20this%20repo%3E&assignees=copilot) — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: BenjaminMichaelis <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Benjamin Michaelis <[email protected]>
