Older Browser Versions: While Castor eConsent may function on outdated browser versions, users may notice some minor impacts on the user interface. However, it is best practice to use up-to-date browsers to ensure full compatibility and security. Outdated browsers may not recognize the scripts running in the background, leading to potential failures in processing requests .
Security Protocols
In August 2018, Castor removed support for HTTPS encryption protocols TLS1.0 and 1.1. This change was implemented with Castor release 2018.6. As a result, users with outdated browsers may find that some functions appear broken because the browser can no longer display them .
