Question Not Receiving GDPR Consent Requirement

As far as my knowledge goes, and as listed on the Analytics Documentation, GDPR is an opt-in type of consent, similar to PIPL.
I am based in Malta which is a country covered by GDPR. However, when checking for required consents using the code below, which I obtained from the documentation, I am not receiving an identifier for GDPR.
Furthermore, when connecting to China using a VPN, I did receive a PIPL identifier.

Using Analytics version 4.1.0
Unity 2021.3.1f1

Code (CSharp):

1. List<string> consentIdentifiers = await AnalyticsService.Instance.CheckForRequiredConsents();

 

The idea is to have a similar consent flow to the sample shown below (taken from the documentation).
GDPR requires user opt-in (not automatic, similar to PIPL) but the CheckForRequiredConsents() function is not returning gdpr as a consent identifier.

I understand that the user can opt out of data collection but the problem is that although I am in a GDPR covered region, I am not receiving GDPR as a consent identifier.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PrivacyManager : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.    // Store whether opt in consent is required, and what consent ID to use
4.    string consentIdentifier;
5.    bool isOptInConsentRequired;
6.  
7.    // Start is called before the first frame update
8.    async void Start()
9.    {
10.        try
11.        {
12.            await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();
13.            List<string> consentIdentifiers = await AnalyticsService.Instance.CheckForRequiredConsents();
14.            if (consentIdentifiers.Count > 0)
15.            {
16.                consentIdentifier = consentIdentifiers[0];
17.                isOptInConsentRequired = consentIdentifier == "pipl";
18.            }
19.        }
20.        catch (ConsentCheckException e)
21.        {
22.            // Something went wrong when checking the GeoIP, check the e.Reason and handle appropriately
23.        }
24.    }
25.  
26.    public void CheckUserConsent()
27.    {
28.        try
29.        {
30.            if (isOptInConsentRequired)
31.            {
32.                // Show a PIPL consent flow
33.                // ...
34.  
35.                // If consent is provided for both use and export
36.                AnalyticsService.Instance.ProvideOptInConsent(consentIdentifier, true);
37.  
38.                // If consent is not provided
39.                AnalyticsService.Instance.ProvideOptInConsent(consentIdentifier, false);
40.            }
41.        }
42.        catch (ConsentCheckException e)
43.        {
44.            // Handle the exception by checking e.Reason
45.        }
46.    }
47. }

 

I believe GDPR & CCPA are not working as you would expect with the current analytics version.

I too experienced this 'issue' and was told the consent process is only in-place for PIPL at present (where opt consent is mandatory)
