Read uspString

The uspString value in the response is an encoded 4 character string that contains the following information:

Character position	Description	Expected values
First character	Specification version. Currently set to 1	1
Second character	Has explicit notice been provided and the opportunity to opt out of the sale of their data been presented?	Y/N/-
Third character	Has the end-user opted-out of the sale of his or her personal information?	Y/N/-
Fourth character	Publisher is a signatory to the IAB Limited Service Provider Agreement (LSPA).	Y/N/-

The returned values for the second, third, and fourth characters in the uspString mean the following:

• Y = true
• N = false
• - = not applicable to the end-user's current browsing session

Examples

If US Privacy does not apply to an end-user then the uspString value will be 1---.

If 'Do Not Sell' applies and the end-user does not give consent then the uspString value will be 1YYY.

If 'Do Not Sell' does not apply and the end-user gives consent then the uspString value will be 1YNY.
