It required the IAB to present an action plan to implement corrective measures that address the infringements and bring the TCF into compliance with the GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to feedback from the market, as well as evolving case law and guidelines from various national data protection authorities, the IAB has implemented the TCF v2.2. The new framework aims to improve the standardization of information presented to users, and give them more control over how their personal data is processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TCF v2.2 includes some measures related to the action plan that the IAB submitted to the Belgian DPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-new-in-iab-transparency-and-consent-framework-v2-2-tcf-v2-2\">What is new in IAB Transparency and Consent Framework v2.2 (TCF v2.2)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2 is a significant update to the previous version, with policy changes aimed to increase transparency and provide users with more control over their consent choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading cb-rounded has-grey-shade-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-removal-of-legitimate-interest\">Removal of legitimate interest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TCF v2.2 no longer allows legitimate interest as a legal basis for data processing operations related to advertising and content personalization. Vendors can now only select explicit consent as an acceptable legal basis for these purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading cb-rounded has-grey-shade-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-improved-user-interface-ui\">Improved user interface (UI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The information required in consent management platforms\u2019 (CMP) UI has been improved to include user-friendly standard texts, new features of processing, and real use case illustrations to make it easier for users to understand what they\u2019re consenting to and what their options are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading cb-rounded has-grey-shade-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-easier-consent-withdrawal\">Easier consent withdrawal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can now change their minds about sharing their data with vendors, and they must be able to re-access the CMP UI to change or withdraw consent at any time. The process to withdraw consent must be as easy as the process to give it. The practical implications of this are that the CMP UI must be easily accessible to users and not buried on the website or app where users must hunt to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading cb-rounded has-grey-shade-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-more-vendor-transparency\">More vendor transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed disclosures about vendors regarding data categories and retention periods, are standardized under TCF v2.2 and must be provided to users in the secondary layer(s) of CMP UIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading cb-rounded has-grey-shade-1-background-color has-background\" id=\"h-enhanced-compliance-programs\">Enhanced compliance programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New auditing mechanisms and differentiated enforcement procedures will be implemented, including proactive auditing of a larger number of randomly selected CMPs and vendors each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iabeurope.eu\/understanding-the-upcoming-transparency-consent-framework-v2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Read more about the new IAB TCF v2.2 here.<\/strong><\/a> For more information about the technical modifications in IAB TCF v2.2, visit the<a href=\"https:\/\/iabtechlab.com\/blog\/summary-of-technical-changes-tcf-v2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong> IAB Tech Lab website.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doubt about whether your website is GDPR-compliant? <a href=\"\/\">Test it with the free Cookiebot CMP compliance test<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block--size-s cta-block--only-buttons cb-ctx--blue\">\n        <div class=\"cta-block__glass\">\n        <div class=\"cta-block__inner\">\n            <div class=\"cta-block__left-column\">\n                                                    <h2 class=\"cta-block__title no-default-margin like-h4\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.cookiebot.com\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Try Cookiebot CMP free for 14 days<\/a>... or forever if you have a small website.                    <\/h2>\n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cookiebot-cmp-and-the-new-iab-framework-tcf-v2-2\">Cookiebot CMP and the new IAB Framework (TCF v2.2)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CMPs must implement the new policies and specifications of the TCF v2.2 by November 20, 2023.

In general, the publishers represent the first party: i.e. the website that the user has sought access to. In the digital advertising industry, publishers often are dependent on displaying third party advertisements on their websites in order to monetize views. This usually is resolved by using an ad network that directs relevant ads to the users that are accessing the publishers\u2019 content. In the context of the IAB Framework, ad networks and advertisers are called \u201cvendors\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vendors<\/strong>&nbsp;in the IAB Framework are the third-party advertisers that the publisher has chosen to partner with. The vendors display third party content on the publishers\u2019 website. They are the ones setting marketing cookies on the end-user\u2019s browser, in order to display relevant ads to potential customers.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consent management providers<\/strong>&nbsp;(CMP) supply the technology that enables user consent for processing data on the publishers\u2019 website. In the IAB Framework, they signal the end-users\u2019 consent settings to the vendors operating on the current website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-nbsp-does-the-iab-framework-work\">How&nbsp;does the IAB Framework work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, the IAB Framework functions as a system for communicating the state of user consent between first parties (i.e. publishers), third parties (i.e. advertisers), and the consent management provider in use on the first party\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the IAB Framework, publishers select their vendors of choice from a list of vendors that have enrolled in the Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This list is called the <strong>Global Vendor List<\/strong>&nbsp;or \u201c<strong>GVL<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to participate in the Framework, the vendor has agreed to a set of conditions, such as\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f2f7fe\" class=\"cb-rounded has-background wp-block-list\">\n<li>Updating their code so that cookies are not set unless they have received a consent signal from a CMP, or unless they have an applicable legal basis to set a cookie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not processing personal data for a purpose that relies on consent until they have received a consent signal directly from a CMP or in any given online request for that purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, one may think of the Global Vendor List as a sort of registry of \u201cwhitelisted\u201d vendors that have adhered to the rules of the Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a publisher enrolls in the IAB Framework, they select one or more vendors from the Global Vendor List that they want to partner with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consent status of the user is stored in a first-party cookie in the user\u2019s browser, and shared down the advertisement chain of information in the IAB Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the user has made their selection, these vendors (and not others) have access to processing the user\u2019s data for the relevant purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
