We perform a scaling analysis of the mean velocity of extended magnetic domain walls driven in ultrathin Pt/Co/Pt ferromagnetic films with perpendicular anisotropy, as a function of the applied external field for different film-thicknesses. We find that the scaling of the experimental data around the thermally rounded depinning transition is consistent with the universal depinning exponents theoretically expected for elastic interfaces described by the one-dimensional quenched Edwards-Wilkinson equation. In particular, values for the depinning exponent $\beta$ and thermal rounding exponent $\psi$ are tested and the present analysis of the experimental data is compatible with $\beta=0.33$ and $\psi=0.2$, in agreement with numerical simulations.
