TCF CMP Migration Guide

Introduction

This guide provides a step-by-step explanation of the new feature in our CMP configurator tool that simplifies the migration process from other CMP providers to ours. Users can now import their existing configurations by pasting the TcString and/or AcString generated from their previous CMP after clicking on the "Accept All" action.

By doing so, the configurator can extract and pre-fill relevant details such as:

  • Publisher Country Code
  • Purpose One Treatment
  • Vendors
  • Special Features
  • Purposes
  • Publisher Restrictions
  • ACM (Additional Consent Mode)
  • Google Vendors

This feature minimizes the manual effort required to set up a new CMP configuration, ensuring a seamless transition.
