New features and fixes in the Experience Cloud interface, including administration and core services (customer attributes, audiences, triggers, cookies, and so on).
Adobe is updating the domain and interface header to unify and improve your experience across all Experience Cloud applications. These enhancements are designed to simplify your experience in small but important ways. These enhancements will not change your current workflows.
Updates include:
experience.adobe.com/<application name>

Adobe is adjusting the same-site
setting on cookies to prepare for changes Chrome makes in Chrome 80 (to be released in February 2020).
You do not need to make changes unless you use a CNAME for 1st-party data collection but use that CNAME across multiple domains (friendly 3rd-party domains), and you do not use the Experience Cloud (Visitor) ID Service. With the Chrome 80 release, Chrome automatically gives the Analytics visitor ID cookies a SameSite value of Lax,
which prevents their use on your other domains. If you want to continue using your CNAME across your domains, you must contact Adobe Customer Care and request that they change the SameSite value for your CNAME to None.
Note that Adobe recommends that you use a separate CNAME for each of your domains, whether or not you are using the Experience Cloud ID Service.

Analysis Workspace – Freeform Table Builder | With Table Builder enabled, you can drag and drop in many dimensions, breakdowns, metrics and segments to build tables that answer more complex business questions.

New Identified State dimension for Cross-Device Analytics (CDA) | We are adding a new dimension called Identified State to CDA virtual report suites. The dimension has two possible values, Identified and Unidentified. Identified means that the person has been identified by the device graph. Unidentified means that the person has not been identified by the device graph. This means that CDA users can now create calculated metrics, such as Device Graph Coverage, which describes how many of the people within the virtual report suite are known by the device graph. This metric is helpful for troubleshooting CDA compression rates. If few people are identified, the level of stitching will be low. |
VRS Support in Data Warehouse API | Virtual Report Suites will now be available for use via the Data Warehouse API. Previously, they were only available via the Data Warehouse UI. When using the Data Warehouse API, you can now see and query virtual report suites, but only if the segments applied to a Virtual Report Suite are compatible with Data Warehouse. |
Privacy Service API: CCPA | The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) enhances privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California, United States. This Act became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA provides new data privacy rights to California residents, such as the right to access and delete their personal data, to know whether their personal data is sold or disclosed (and to whom), and to refuse the sale of their personal data. The Privacy Service supports requests to opt out from the selling of personal data. The Privacy Service was formerly the GDPR Service and retains all the previous functionality, now extended to support CCPA. CCPA in Analytics Privacy Service Overview |

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Support and Privacy Documentation Overhaul | The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which came into effect on January 1st, 2020, provides California residents new rights regarding their personal information and impose data protection responsibilities on certain entities that conduct business in California. Audience Manager helps you comply with your obligations under privacy regulations, through privacy tools like the Adobe Experience Platform Privacy Service for data access and delete requests. We have updated the current opt-out management process to include opting out of any declared ID (e.g. CRM ID). In case of opt-out by declared ID, the declared ID and the last linked device will be opted out of Audience Manager data collection. Opt-out requests now also send unsegment requests to destination partners who support this feature, both in batch and real time. Also, we’ve redesigned our Data Security, Data Privacy, and Data Governance documentation, to make it easier for you to find the information required to comply with the previously mentioned regulations. |
