16 US BUSINESS NEWS / Q2 2019 , Ogury Announces Major Updates to its Consent Manager Consent Manager’s Fair Choicemarks the beginning of a new erawheremobile users are in full control of their data and can choose to use it as a currency to access quality content. Ogury, the leading technology company specialized in Mobile Journey Marketing (MJM), today announced the launch of Ogury Consent Manager to strengthen its Mobile Journey Marketing Cloud. Ogury Consent Manager will include a game changing capability, “Fair Choice” that provides users with an alternative to pay with their data to access quality content. With the anniversary of the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) on the horizon, managing user consent has never been a more pressing issue for organizations that handle data. For app publishers this means collecting explicit user consent for every single partner they work with. With the average app having over 15 partners integrated, operationally it is difficult to implement without causing serious disruption to their users’ experience. Furthermore, the majority of consent notices today force users to consent rather than giving them a clear and explicit choice to opt in or out. This leads to a lack of consumer trust, long term business loss, and the risk of a hefty regulatory fine. Ogury Consent Manager, a registered IAB Consent Management Provider (CMP) and fully GDPR compliant, streamlines this process for publishers by combining all consent notices from every demand and supply partner, technology solution, as well as every tracking and analytics provider into one convenient place. Therefore, users are shown just one consent notice, providing them with a clear and informed choice to share or withdraw their data. Establishing a relationship of trust, minimizing disruption to user experience and assuring regulatory compliance. “Ogury Consent Manager has been the quickest and easiest way for us to meet GDPR guidelines for our European based users,” said Mo Rahim, Founder of London Transport Planner. “The solution offers unique customization and reporting options via the online dashboard. We haven’t found a free solution that comes close to Ogury Consent Manager in features and simplicity. We thank the support team for their valuable assistance in answering all of our questions and facilitating integration.” Benefits of Ogury Consent Manager for Publishers: • Compliance guaranteed, whilst maintaining revenue. Ogury was built with GDPR at its core and has been collecting user consent since its very beginning in 2014.

Our product helps publishers manage complex regulations while establishing user trust and maintaining user experience and overall revenue.” “Ogury’s goal is to help businesses move into the era of data transparency and user choice. We want to help publishers create a dialogue of transparent value exchange with users. This is why we will be releasing a new capability in Consent Manager named “Fair Choice”. Fair Choice goes one step further than simply giving users the choice to share or withhold their data by introducing a third-option to pay a fair price in exchange for a marketing- free experience, without data sharing.” With this new capability, giving users the choice to decide how to pay to access quality content, Ogury continues to reinvent the way digital marketing is conducted to restore and reinforce user trust, an indispensable ingredient in the long-term prosperity of the digital ecosystem.
