IAB TCF banners advanced options
Customise Publisher Country Code Field
Option to manage the publisherCC field of the IAB TCF API.
Country code of the country that determines the legislation of reference. Normally corresponds to the country code of the country in which the publisher's business entity is established.\
Consent banners sets this value to "FR" by default in the IAB response. The publisher country code field can be customised with following JavaScript snippet (should be implemented in the first container on the website.).
tC.privacy.iabPublisherCC = "<country_code>";
Example to set the publisher country code field to a German country code:
tC.privacy.iabPublisherCC = "DE";
Customise Purpose One Treatment Field
Option to manage the purposeOneTreatment field of the IAB TCF API.
IAB TCF offers this field to specify how purpose one should be treated in specific scenarios.
true: Purpose 1 not disclosed at all. CMPs use publisherCC to indicate the publisher's country of establishment to help Vendors determine whether the vendor requires Purpose 1 consent.
false: There is no special Purpose 1 treatment status. Purpose 1 was disclosed normally (consent) as expected by TCF Policy
Consent banner sets this value to false by default in the IAB response. The purpose one treatment field can be customised with following JavaScript snippet (should be implemented in the first container on the website.).
tC.privacy.iabPublisherCC = (true|false);
Neutral vendor buttons
You can change the vendor button type to neutral if you choose the neutral position as the default status.f
Synchronization mode between vendors and categories
You can choose to synchronize vendors status with categories, choosing to do it only for neutral buttons or always. If you use an IAB TCF template, this option will not have any effects on TCF vendors, as the TCF framework doesn't allow this.
IAB TCF Stacks Beta
BetaCommanders Act Consent offers IAB TCF Stacks to reduce the size of the purpose list in the privacy center. IAB TCF Stacks group purposes and special features in a foldable panel and allows visitors to configure consent for all purposes and special feature in a Stack at once. More information on IAB TCF Stacks can be found in the IAB TCF Policy.
Right now IAB TCF Stacks are in beta in Commanders Act Consent. They are activated with a JavaScript command that needs to be added to the privacy center CUSTOM JS field JS BLOCK BEFORE.Example: Activating Auto Stacks
Commanders Act Consent offers two options to activate Stacks:
pc.iab.useAutoStack();This option uses an algorithm to automatically find the tightest Stack combination for the configured vendors. This option is the recommended approach.
pc.iab.useStackIds(1,2); // activates Stacks with ID 1 and 2This option allows to manually activate IAB TCF Stacks by providing a list of Stack IDs. The Stack IDs can be found in the IAB TCF Policy.
Purposes may only be included in one Stack. In case of a bad configuration Commanders Act Consent ignores IAB Stack configuration and provides an error in the browser console.
Move native Categories above IAB Purposes
Per default IAB Purpose controls are placed above native category controls. It is possible to display native categories above IAB TCF Purpose controls by adding following JavaScript snippet to the CUSTOM JS field JS BLOCK BEFORE of the privacy center.
pc.tc.categoriesSectionTop(true);
The "Other" headline of the native category controls can be translated by adding following configuration snippet to the CUSTOM JS field JS BLOCK BEFORE of the privacy center.
pc.addTranslation({en: { others: 'My Headline' }});pc.setLocale('en');
