AWS Events app for iOS: Cookie Preferences link is dead

 iOS 18.1.1

AWS Events app for iOS (version 7.6.0)

11/27/2024

Description:

Here's an unusual problem: the AWS Events app has a "Cookie preferences" link. Nothing happens when this link is selected. The other links on this page ("Privacy Policy" and a "Site terms" links) take the user to expected pages. 

The "Cookie preferences" link does nothing. 

Here's what it looks like inside of the iOS app:




Here's what it looks like when that login page (https://registration.awsevents.com/flow/awsevents/reinvent24/reg/login) is accessed on a laptop:


The "Customize cookie preferences" page appears, along with a link to the AWS Cookie notice



Other Amazon produced apps have cookie preference pages that are accessible via in-app options. Presumably the AWS Events app should have this option for GDPR compliance? 

Steps to Reproduce: 

1. Download and launch the AWS Events app for iOS (version 7.6.0)

2. From the "All events" page, select "AWS re:Invent 2024"

3. From the "Sign In" page, scroll down and select "Cookie Preferences"

Result: The "Cookie preferences" link on the AWS Events login page inside of the AWS Events app is inactive - no cookies pop-up is activated 

Expected: There should not be a dead link inside of an Amazon released iOS app 

Please Note: The same problem occurs with AWS Events app for Android (version 7.6.0)


Download and launch the AWS Events app for iOS...


Select the "AWS re:Invent 2024" option...


Scroll down to the bottom of this login screen...


Select the "Cookie preferences" option: Nothing happens!
