Transparency and Consent Framework v2.3: mandatory disclosed vendors
Equativ now supports v2.3 of the IAB Europe's Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF), which requires the disclosedVendors segment to be included in the TCF consent string. Vendors can verify they were disclosed to the user, increasing transparency and reducing compliance risks for publishers.
Publishers must ensure their Consent Managerment Platform (CMP) complies with this requirement as of February 28, 2026. After this date, any traffic that is not compliant with TCF v2.3 is treated as traffic without consent.
