# 14th August: Observability, Consent categories and more

### :sparkles:New and noteworthy <a href="#new-and-noteworthy" id="new-and-noteworthy"></a>

#### Observability

To ensure that we provide the highest quality and enhance your experience, we have implemented a completely new system to monitor the APIs used by our app. We are also linking logs to the triggered APIs, which allows us to quickly identify and resolve any issues that may arise. With this change, we can respond to issues more quickly, ensuring that your onboarding process and overall experience with the app are as seamless as possible.

#### Consent categories

A couple of months ago, we introduced consent categories as part of our effort to simplify consent management. During this time, we collected your feedback and addressed potential issues. I am happy to announce that consent categories are now available at all touchpoints, both on the SDK and Edge. This update enables you to access consent categories in all areas where you currently manage regular consent. Below are examples of how to use this in the SDK.

```javascript
edgetag('getConsent', (consent, error, consentCategories) => {
  console.log(consent) // { all: false, facebook: { facebook1: true, facebook2: false } }
  console.log(consentCategories) // { all: false, necessary: true, advertising: false  }
  console.log(error) // undefined
})
```

```javascript
edgetag('ready', (params) => {
  console.log('Consent Categories', params.consentCategories)
})
```

```javascript
window.addEventListener('edgetag-initialized', ({ detail }) => {
  console.log('Consent Categories', detail.consentCategories)
})
```

```javascript
window.addEventListener('edgetag-consent', ({ detail }) => {
  console.log('Old Categories', detail.oldConsentCategories)
  console.log('New Categories', detail.newConsentCategories)
})
```
