IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) is a common standardized framework designed to help all parties in the adtech industry (CMPs, publishers, vendors) ensure that they’re GDPR-compliant. IAB TCF V2.3 has a strong presence in the media industry, and some Kameleoon customers consider it a must-have. All major CMPs, such as Onetrust, Didomi, Usercentrics, provide IAB compliance out of the box. This guide walks you through how to set up an integration with IAB TCF V2.3.

​
IAB TCF V2.3 configuration for A/B testing and personalization

Vendors (such as Kameleoon) are responsible for providing up-to-date information on the purposes for which they collect and process personal data, the features they rely on in pursuit of such purposes, and the requirements regarding accessing a user’s device. The IAB holds a list of registered third-party vendors, which is accessible automatically by all CMPs. On the IAB TCF page for Global Vendor registration, here are the parameters that correspond to the experiments and/or personalizations launched via Kameleoon.
The selected parameters have an automatic impact on Kameleoon. For example, if you turn off only the IAB purpose dedicated to personalization, it turns off Kameleoon Personalization.

  1. Open the Kameleoon app.
  2. Click Admin > Integrations.
  3. Search for the IAB TCF 2.3 integration and click it.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Select the project on which you want to activate IAB TCF 2.3.
  6. Click Install.

By default, Kameleoon selects the option Choose IAB TCF as the default consent solution. As a result, Kameleoon selects IAB TCF by default in the Configuration page’s consent management section. You will see an ON toggle on the right of the tool’s line, and the number of projects where you configured the tool.

To access the consent management details:
  1. Click Admin > Projects.
  2. Click Configuration on your project card.
  1. Scroll down to the Experiment or Personalization section. In each section, you can select the IAB TCF option in the first dropdown.
    • If you have left the option Choose IAB TCF as the default consent solution enabled, then Kameleoon selects IAB TCF by default. If not, the option is still available.
  1. Click Validate.
When you enable IAB TCF on one product (A/B or Personalization), it’s automatically enabled on the other. You can’t apply different consent management in this case. Read this documentation to find out more about consent management.
