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

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.
