Quantcast Choice comes with GDPR/CCPA support, consent options, and many Branding & Display options for TCF v2. This article will walk you through how to add or edit a site and cover GDPR/CCPA support, consent options, and branding & display options.
Configuring Your Site
To enable Choice CMP to work across one or more sites or apps, you first need to configure those sites or apps within the portal. To configure a mobile app, you will need to download the SDK and integrate that into your application. For more details on Mobile App support please refer to the section on the Mobile SDK.
- In the Privacy tab of your Choice portal, click Protect a Site.
- Select either the PROTECT AN APP or PROTECT A SITE button. For the purposes of this exercise, we will be choosing the option to protect a site.
- On the General Settings page, you will enter information about your site. All starred items are required.
-
- Site URL (required): Enter the site's URL.
- If you wish to apply the CMP to subdomains, click the Apply to all my subdomains box.
- If your site is using the AMP web component framework, click the AMP Site.
-
Choose a Theme (required): Select a theme from the drop-down menu.
- Site Name: The name of the company requesting consent with the CMP; the name is used throughout the CMP's copy. Enter a site name, if applicable.
- Site Logo: A full (absolute) URL path to a hosted image that will be displayed on all pages of the CMP UI. The image size is capped at 170px wide and 90px tall in order to maintain the layout. Enter the logo's URL, if applicable
-
Regulation-GDPR: GDPR is the primary regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy.
- If selected, the Publisher Country Code drop-down menu field will appear below CMP Version.
-
Regulation-CCPA: CCPA is designed to regulate the ‘sale’ of personal information of California residents by a business, and provide more privacy protections to California residents.
- If selected, the following CCPA options will appear:
- Target entire U.S.?: If selected, allows you to enable the CCPA functionality for all users within the U.S.
-
IAB LSPA signed?: Check this checkbox if you have signed the Limited Services Provider Agreement as part of the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework. Note: If you aren’t sure, leave this field unchecked - this will not impact your usage of the CCPA opt-out signal. Note: You can also customize the CCPA Do Not Sell My Data Screen similar to what you can do for GDPR. You can change the Title string, Body text and the links to the Delete/Access data and Privacy Policy. You can do this by going to Privacy>Themes>Create a Theme (or edit an existing theme).
- If selected, the following CCPA options will appear:
-
CMP Version: We recommend selecting the latest CMP version.
-
Under the Consent scope, you will find the following fields:
- Which users should be asked for consent?: Determines which users will be shown the CMP UI. Note: Publishers established within the EEA and the UK are required to apply GDPR and ePrivacy Directive to any user (option "Everyone") regardless of the user's location.
-
Consent scope: ask user for consent for...: How consent given by a user applies to sites other than the current site. The value "service" restricts consent choices only to the current site, and does not honor choices made on other sites.
Note: Google will only accept Service consent and Service Group consent.Consent scope
Consent (euconsent-v2)
What does this scope mean?
Your site only (service)
First-party cookie stored on publisher site domain
Service consent means the user will be asked to set consent preferences for your site and vendors. Preferences set on your site will not apply to other sites.
A group of your sites only (service group)
Third-party cookie stored on publisher group domain
Service group consent means the user will be asked to set consent preferences for your group of sites and vendors. Consent will apply to all sites within your group. Preferences set on your group of sites will not apply to other sites.
- If A group of your sites only is selected, the following fields will appear:
- Consent scope group URL (required): Enter a URL. Note: If the URL is not set, but A group of your sites only is selected, the consent scope will fall back to Your site only. Using a group-level consent scope requires significant development on your part in order to implement a JSON API or a shared consent cookie destination that is accessible via iframe.
- Storage mode (required): Select Iframe or API
- If A group of your sites only is selected, the following fields will appear:
-
Show new vendors every...: Determines how frequently, in days, the CMP will check for additions or changes to the vendor list, and re-prompt users for consent if changes are found.
-
Note: Vendors who are added to the list before a user is re-prompted will not receive a consent signal until this value is exceeded. If the Vendor is blocked manually in the Vendor list, the user will be re-prompted immediately. Hence, we suggest to do the changes to the Vendors' list in bulk. If you have made a manual change to your IAB or non-IAB vendor lists, this will cause the CMP to prompt the user to adapt their consent to the latest version of your vendor list.
