IMPORTANT

Google has announced plans to discontinue Chrome support for third-party cookies in the second half of 2024. Consequently, third-party cookies will no longer be supported in any of the major browsers.

When this change is implemented, Adobe will discontinue support for the demdex cookie that is currently supported in the Web SDK.

Fixed an issue where user agent client hint properties could be set to an incorrect type.

Fixed an issue where device.screenWidth and device.screenHeight were populated as strings in some environments.

New features

Added support for Page by Page Full Migration. The Adobe Target profile will now be preserved as a visitor moves between at.js and Web SDK pages.

Version 2.12.0 - June 29, 2022

Change the requests to the Edge Network to use the cluster cookie location hint as part of the URL. This ensures that users who change their location (e.g. through a VPN or driving with mobile devices, etc) mid session hit the same edge and have the same personalization profile.
Stringify configured functions in the getLibraryInfo command response.

Version 2.11.0 - June 13, 2022

New features

You can now deliver personalized experiences more accurately, by sharing visitor IDs between mobile apps and mobile web content, and across domains. See the dedicated documentation to learn more.
You can now render or execute an array of propositions from Adobe Target into single-page applications, without incrementing the analytics metrics. This reduces reporting errors and increases analytics accuracy. See the dedicated documentation to learn more.

Fixes and improvements

Updated cookie settings to use sameSite="none" and secure flag on HTTPS pages.
Fixed an issue where personalized content was not applied correctly when using the eq pseudo selector.

Version 2.10.1 - May 3, 2022

Version 2.10.0 - April 22, 2022

Use a persistent iframe for all ID syncs and segment destinations.
Fixed an issue where merged metrics propositions were duplicated in the sendEvent result.

Version 2.9.0 - March 10, 2022

Added support for tracking control (default) Adobe Target experiences.
Optimized the view-change events for single page applications. The display notification is now included with the view-change event when personalized experiences are rendered.
Removed console warning when no eventType is present.
Fixed an issue where the propositions property was only returned from a sendEvent command when experiences were requested or retrieved from the cache. The propositions property will now always be defined as an array.
Fixed an issue where hidden containers were not shown when there was an error returned from the Edge Network.
Fixed an issue where the interact events were not being counted in Adobe Target. This was fixed by adding the view name to the XDM at web.webPageDetails.viewName.
Fix broken documentation links in console messages.

Version 2.8.0 - January 19, 2022

Support shadow DOM selectors for personalization.
Renamed personalization event types. (display and click become decisioning.propositionDisplay and decisioning.propositionInteract)
Fixed an issue where HTML offers with inline script tags added the script tags twice to the page even though the script was only run once.

Version 2.7.0 - October 26, 2021

Expose additional information from the Edge Network in the return value from sendEvent, including inferences and destinations. The format of these properties may change as these features are currently rolling out as part of a Beta.

Version 2.6.4 - September 7, 2021

Fixed an issue where set HTML Adobe Target actions applied to the head element were replacing the entire head content. Now set HTML actions applied to the head element are changed to append HTML.

Version 2.6.3 - August 16, 2021

Fixed an issue where objects not intended for public use were exposed through the resolved promise from the configure command.

Version 2.6.2 - August 4, 2021

Fixed an issue where a warning about the deprecation of result.decisions (provided by the sendEvent command) would be logged to the console even when the result.decisions property wasn’t being accessed. No warning will be logged when accessing the result.decisions property, but the property is still deprecated.

Version 2.6.1 - July 29, 2021

Fixed an issue where rendering personalization for a single-page app view that has no personalization content would throw an error and cause the promise returned from the sendEvent command to be rejected.

Version 2.6.0 - July 27, 2021

Provides more personalization content in the sendEvent resolved promise, including Adobe Target response tokens. When the sendEvent command is executed, a promise is returned, which is eventually resolved with a result object containing information received from the server. Previously, this result object included a property named decisions. This decisions property has been deprecated. A new property, propositions, has been added. This new property provides customers with access to more personalization content, including response tokens.

Version 2.5.0 - June 2021

Added support for redirect personalization offers.
Automatically collected viewport widths and heights that are negative values will no longer be sent to the server.
When an event is canceled by returning false from an onBeforeEventSend callback, a message is now logged.
Fixed an issue where specific pieces of XDM data intended for a single event was included across multiple events.

Version 2.4.0 - March 2021

The SDK can now be installed as an NPM package.
Added support for an out option when configuring default consent, which drops all events until consent is received (the existing pending option queues events and sends them once consent is received).
The onBeforeEventSend callback can now be used to prevent an event from being sent.
Now uses an XDM schema field group instead of meta.personalization when sending events about personalized content being rendered or clicked.
The getIdentity command now returns the edge region ID alongside the identity.
Warnings and errors received from the server have been improved and are handled in a more appropriate fashion.
Added support for Adobe’s Consent 2.0 standard for the setConsent command.
Consent preferences, when received, are hashed and stored in local storage for an optimized integration among CMPs, Platform Web SDK, and Platform Edge Network. If you are collecting consent preferences, we now encourage you to call setConsent on every page load.
Two monitoring hooks, onCommandResolved and onCommandRejected, have been added.
Bug Fix: Personalization interaction notification events would contain duplicate information about the same activity when a user navigated to a new single-page app view, back to the original view, and clicked an element qualifying for conversion.
Bug Fix: If the first event sent by the SDK had documentUnloading set to true, sendBeacon would be used to send the event, resulting in an error regarding an identity not being established.

Version 2.3.0 - November 2020

Added nonce support to allow for stricter content security policies.
Added personalization support for single-page applications.
Improved compatibility with other on-page JavaScript code that may be overwriting window.console APIs.
Bug Fix: sendBeacon was not being used when documentUnloading was set to true or when link clicks were automatically tracked.
Bug Fix: A link wouldn’t be automatically tracked if the anchor element contained HTML content.
Bug Fix: Certain browser errors containing a read-only message property were not handled appropriately, resulting in a different error being exposed to the customer.
Bug Fix: Running the SDK within an iframe would result in an error if the iframe’s HTML page was from a different subdomain than the parent window’s HTML page.

Version 2.2.0 - October 2020

Bug Fix: The Opt-in object was blocking Web SDK from making calls when idMigrationEnabled is true.
Bug Fix: Make Web SDK aware of requests that should return personalization offers to prevent a flickering issue.
