Why Exclude Sirdata CMP Scripts?

• Dynamic and Geolocated Behavior: Sirdata CMP scripts dynamically adapt based on user location and preferences. Optimizing or caching these scripts can lead to incorrect or outdated behavior.

• Regulatory Compliance: These scripts are essential for meeting privacy regulations. Any interference caused by caching or optimization may result in non-compliance, complaints, or loss of revenue.
