Widget Enhancements:

• Implemented Recognition Tokens for Click to Pay

Introduced recognition tokens for Click to Pay to ensure consumer profiles will be remembered in case browsers stop supporting third-party cookies by utilizing recognition tokens used as first-party cookies. The implementation covers:

2. Exposed recognition token events to merchants for them to handle.
3. Supported the injection of recognition tokens into CtP SDK widget initialization for merchants.
4. Implemented functionality to delete recognition tokens when new consumers select "Not you", "Not your cards", or a returning consumer unselect the "Remember Me" checkbox.

Please note this change will not impact merchants until browsers stop supporting third-party cookies. Merchants will then have to handle these events:

2. recognitionTokenDropped event: occurs when new consumers click "Not you", "Not your cards" or returning consumers unselects the "Remember Me" checkbox.
