Abstract

In the world of online marketing, Consent Management Providers (CMPs) are on the rise. CMPs collect online users' consent to the processing of their personal data by publishers and ad-Tech vendors. At the same time, there are reasonable doubts about the compliance of the existing market standard with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This could potentially create compliance risks for the companies adopting the standard, in particular for ad-Tech vendors that-in the pre-CMP era-were invisible to users.This paper reveals drivers and obstacles for the adoption of the Transparency Consent Framework (TCF) by ad-Tech-vendors, gained in semi-structured interviews with representatives of Global Vendors List (GVL) members. Presenting the first qualitative study of ad-Tech vendors' perspectives, the paper provides novel insights into the CMP ecosystem. It particularly shows existing market pressure and reveals ad-Tech vendors' confusion and doubts about the TCF's compliance with the GDPR.
