Consent management triggers Prebid Modules responsible for passing on user’s consent information from your CMP to Bidder adapters in Prebid to consume and process. Yieldbird Platform supports all consent frameworks:

Please refer to Prebid documentation for the most up to date information about these modules:

Configuring Consent Management

You can set up Consent management at the workspace level (meaning the setting will be applied to all Domains). If needed, you can then customize it for specific Domains.

Example:

Imagine you manage 10 Domains: 1 Domain has over 99% traffic from the USA, while 9 Domains have over 99% traffic from the European Union. You can set TCF = <on> at the Workspace level and then customize it for the "US" Domain to US privacy = <on> TCF = <on> or <off>.

Setting default Consent Management settings

Default Prebid Consent Management settings apply to all inventory in your Workspace unless you select value specific for particular Domain. To manage it:

  1. Go to Global Setup > Prebid > Defaults: Consent Management.

  2. Toggle on the Consent Management modules that you want to apply to all Domains by default.

  3. Once you toggle on the particular module, you will be able to customize some of its parameters. For these parameters that are not listed, Module’s default parameters are used.

    What if a config parameter that you need is not available?

    In such case, please either reach out to your Customer Success Manager, or post a feature request directly in the Feature Portal.
