+ title: IAB TCF 2.3
3
+ description: Implement IAB Transparency & Consent Framework 2.3 compliance for programmatic advertising in EU/EEA jurisdictions.
4
+ ---
5
+ ## What is IAB TCF?
6
+
7
+ The [IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)](https://iabeurope.eu/tcf-2-0/) is a standardized protocol for communicating user consent choices to ad tech vendors in the programmatic advertising ecosystem. TCF 2.3 is the current version and is widely adopted across the EU/EEA.
8
+
9
+ When your site participates in the IAB ecosystem (ad exchanges, SSPs, DSPs, DMPs), you need to:
10
+
11
+ * Disclose which vendors process user data and for what purposes
12
+ * Collect granular consent for each IAB-defined purpose
13
+ * Generate a **TC String** — a standardized encoding of consent choices that ad tech vendors can read
14
+ * Expose the `__tcfapi` CMP stub for vendor scripts to query consent status
15
+
16
+ ## CMP Registration
17
+
18
+ [inth.com](https://inth.com) is pending validation as an IAB Europe-registered CMP for c15t. Once approved, when you use inth.com as your backend, the correct CMP ID will be automatically provided to your client via the `/init` endpoint — no client-side configuration needed.
19
+
20
+ If you self-host the c15t backend and have your own CMP registration with IAB Europe, you can configure your CMP ID on the backend via `advanced.iab.cmpId` or on the client via the `iab.cmpId` option. A valid (non-zero) CMP ID is required for IAB TCF compliance.
21
+
22
+ > ℹ️ **Info:**
23
+ > If you heavily customize or build your own IAB banner or dialog (rather than using the default IABConsentBanner and IABConsentDialog components), you cannot use inth.com's CMP ID. You must register your own CMP with IAB Europe and use your own CMP ID.
24
+
25
+ ## How c15t Implements TCF
26
+
27
+ c15t provides a complete IAB TCF 2.3 CMP (Consent Management Platform) implementation:
28
+
29
+ 1. **Global Vendor List (GVL)** — Automatically fetched from the c15t backend. Contains the official IAB vendor registry with purposes, features, and stacks.
30
+ 2. **IABConsentBanner** — A pre-built banner showing partner count, purpose summaries, and legitimate interest notices.
31
+ 3. **IABConsentDialog** — A tabbed preference center for granular purpose and vendor consent management.
32
+ 4. **TC String generation** — Consent choices are encoded into the standard TC String format.
33
+ 5. **`__tcfapi` stub** — The standard CMP API is exposed on `window` so vendor scripts can query consent.
34
+
35
+ If you use the prebuilt styled IAB UI, add your framework's `iab/styles.css` entrypoint alongside the base c15t stylesheet. IAB CSS is published separately so apps that do not render IAB surfaces do not ship those component rules.
36
+
37
+ ## Quick Setup
38
+
39
+ If you use the prebuilt styled IAB UI, import the IAB stylesheet alongside the base stylesheet in your global CSS entrypoint:
40
+
41
+ ```css title="src/app/globals.css"
42
+ @import "@c15t/nextjs/styles.css";
43
+ @import "@c15t/nextjs/iab/styles.css";
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ ```tsx
47
+ import { type ReactNode } from 'react';
48
+ import { iab } from '@c15t/iab';
49
+ import { ConsentManagerProvider } from '@c15t/nextjs';
50
+ import { IABConsentBanner, IABConsentDialog } from '@c15t/react/iab';
51
+
52
+ export default function ConsentManager({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
53
+ return (
54
+ <ConsentManagerProvider
55
+ options={{
56
+ mode: 'hosted',
57
+ backendURL: '/api/c15t',
58
+ iab: iab({
59
+ vendors: [1, 2, 10, 25], // IAB vendor IDs you work with
60
+ // cmpId is automatically provided by the backend (inth.com).
61
+ // Only set this if you have your own CMP registration with IAB Europe.
62
+ // cmpId: 123,
63
+ }),
64
+ }}
65
+ >
66
+ <IABConsentBanner />
67
+ <IABConsentDialog showTrigger />
68
+ {children}
69
+ </ConsentManagerProvider>
70
+ );
71
+ }
72
+ ```
73
+
74
+ ## IAB Configuration Options
75
+
76
+ Configure IAB mode with `iab({ ... })` from `@c15t/iab`. The factory enables the addon and injects the runtime module automatically. The user-facing options are:
77
+
78
+ |Option|Type|Description|
79
+ |--|--|--|
80
+ |`cmpId`|`number`|CMP ID registered with IAB Europe. Automatically provided by the backend when using inth.com. Only set this if you have your own CMP registration.|
81
+ |`vendors`|`number[]`|IAB vendor IDs that your site works with|
82
+ |`customVendors`|`NonIABVendor[]`|Custom vendors not in the IAB registry|
83
+
84
+ ## Key Concepts
85
+
86
+ ### Purposes
87
+
88
+ IAB defines 11 standard purposes for data processing (e.g., "Store and/or access information on a device", "Select basic ads", "Measure ad performance"). Each purpose can be consented to individually.
89
+
90
+ ### Stacks
91
+
92
+ Purposes are grouped into **stacks** by the GVL for a simplified UI presentation. For example, "Advertising based on limited data" might group purposes 2, 7, and 10 together.
93
+
94
+ ### Special Features
95
+
96
+ Features like precise geolocation or device scanning that require explicit opt-in beyond standard consent.
97
+
98
+ ### Legitimate Interest
99
+
100
+ Some purposes can be processed under legitimate interest rather than consent. Users can object to legitimate interest processing per-vendor.
101
+
102
+ ### Vendors
103
+
104
+ Each vendor in the GVL declares which purposes it uses, whether via consent or legitimate interest. The preference center lets users toggle consent per-vendor.
105
+
106
+ ## Standard vs IAB Components
107
+
108
+ |Feature|ConsentBanner / ConsentDialog|IABConsentBanner / IABConsentDialog|

+ > ℹ️ **Info:**
18
+ > Until useGVLData() is exported as public API, avoid importing it from deep internal paths. Those paths are not covered by semver guarantees and can change without notice.
19

20
+ When a public GVL-focused hook becomes part of the supported API, this page should document that public surface instead of the internal dialog hook.

+ title: Iframe Blocking
3
+ description: Block embedded content (YouTube, social widgets, maps) until users grant consent for the appropriate category.
4
+ ---
5
+ Embedded iframes from third parties (YouTube, Google Maps, social media widgets) can set cookies and track users without their consent. c15t provides two approaches to gate iframes behind consent:
6
+
7
+ 1. **`<Frame>` component** - A React component that conditionally renders children based on consent
8
+ 2. **HTML `data-category` attribute** - For raw `<iframe>` elements outside of React
9
+
10
+ ## Frame Component
11
+
12
+ The `<Frame>` component wraps content that requires consent. Children are only mounted when the specified category has consent. When consent is not granted, a placeholder is shown instead.
13
+
14
+ ```tsx
15
+ import { Frame } from '@c15t/nextjs';
16
+
17
+ function YouTubeEmbed() {
18
+ return (
19
+ <Frame category="marketing">
20
+ <iframe
21
+ src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ"
22
+ width="560"
23
+ height="315"
24
+ allowFullScreen
25
+ />
26
+ </Frame>
27
+ );
28
+ }
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ ### Custom Placeholder
32
+
33
+ Replace the default placeholder with your own UI:
34
+
35
+ ```tsx
36
+ <Frame
37
+ category="marketing"
38
+ placeholder={
39
+ <div className="flex items-center justify-center h-64 bg-gray-100 rounded">
40
+ <p>Enable marketing cookies to watch this video.</p>
41
+ </div>
42
+ }
43
+ >
44
+ <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/..." />
45
+ </Frame>
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ ### Compound Components
49
+
50
+ Build custom placeholder layouts using compound components:
51
+
52
+ ```tsx
53
+ <Frame.Root category="marketing">
54
+ <Frame.Title category="marketing" />
55
+ <Frame.Button category="marketing" />
56
+ </Frame.Root>
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ ## HTML Attribute Approach
60
+
61
+ For iframes outside of React (e.g., CMS content, server-rendered HTML), add `data-category` and use `data-src` instead of `src`:
62
+
63
+ ```html
64
+ <iframe
65
+ data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ"
66
+ data-category="marketing"
67
+ width="560"
68
+ height="315"
69
+ ></iframe>
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ When consent for the specified category is granted, c15t automatically swaps `data-src` to `src`, loading the iframe. When consent is revoked, `src` is moved back to `data-src`.
73
+
74
+ ### Dynamic Iframes
75
+
76
+ c15t uses a `MutationObserver` to watch for dynamically added iframes. Any iframe with `data-category` added to the DOM after initialization is automatically processed.
77
+
78
+ ## Initializing the Iframe Blocker
79
+
80
+ The iframe blocker for HTML attributes needs to be initialized separately from the Frame component:
81
+
82
+ ```tsx
83
+ import { useConsentManager } from '@c15t/nextjs';
84
+ import { useEffect } from 'react';
85
+
86
+ function IframeBlockerInit() {
87
+ const { initializeIframeBlocker } = useConsentManager();
88
+
89
+ useEffect(() => {
90
+ initializeIframeBlocker();
91
+ }, [initializeIframeBlocker]);
92
+
93
+ return null;
94
+ }
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ ## API Reference
98
+
99
+ ### FrameProps
100
+
101
+ |Property|Type|Description|Default|Required|
102
+ |:--|:--|:--|:--|:--:|

+ title: Build a Custom Script Integration
3
+ description: Learn when to use a raw Script, when to build a reusable manifest-backed integration, and how to debug and test custom consent-aware scripts in c15t.
4
+ lastModified: 2026-04-10
5
+ ---
6
+ If you cannot find a prebuilt integration in [`@c15t/scripts`](/docs/integrations), you have two good options:
7
+
8
+ 1. Build a one-off `Script` object directly in your app.
9
+ 2. Build a reusable manifest-backed integration helper.
10
+
11
+ Use the first option for app-specific scripts. Use the second option when you want something reusable, testable, and aligned with c15t's manifest system.
12
+
13
+ ## Choose the Right Level
14
+
15
+ ### One-off app script
16
+
17
+ Use a raw `Script` when:
18
+
19
+ * the integration is only used in one app
20
+ * the vendor setup is small
21
+ * you do not need to publish or share the helper
22
+
23
+ ```ts
24
+ import type { Script } from 'c15t';
25
+
26
+ export function acmeAnalytics(siteId: string): Script {
27
+ return {
28
+ id: 'acme-analytics',
29
+ src: `https://cdn.acme.com/analytics.js?site=${siteId}`,
30
+ category: 'measurement',
31
+ onBeforeLoad: () => {
32
+ window.acmeQueue = window.acmeQueue || [];
33
+ },
34
+ onConsentChange: ({ hasConsent }) => {
35
+ window.acme?.setConsent(hasConsent);
36
+ },
37
+ };
38
+ }
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ ### Reusable manifest-backed integration
42
+
43
+ Use a manifest-backed helper when:
44
+
45
+ * you want to contribute to `@c15t/scripts`
46
+ * you want the integration to be reusable across apps
47
+ * you need structured startup/setup phases
48
+ * you want compatibility with c15t's server-side support for script loading
49
+
50
+ Manifest integrations should be declarative, serializable, and built from structured steps rather than raw inline JavaScript strings.
51
+
52
+ ## Manifest Contract
53
+
54
+ Every reusable manifest carries two contract fields:
55
+
56
+ * `kind`: identifies the payload as a c15t vendor manifest
57
+ * `schemaVersion`: identifies which manifest schema the runtime should compile
58
+
59
+ Use `vendorManifestContract` so helpers stay aligned with the runtime's current contract:
60
+
61
+ ```ts
62
+ const acmeManifest = {
63
+ ...vendorManifestContract,
64
+ vendor: 'acme-analytics',
65
+ // ...
66
+ } as const satisfies VendorManifest;
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ If manifests are sent from a server later, these fields are how the client can validate that it knows how to interpret the payload before executing anything.
70
+
71
+ ## Manifest Mental Model
72
+
73
+ The manifest runtime executes a script in ordered phases:
74
+
75
+ * `bootstrap`: globals or stubs that must exist before anything else
76
+ * `install`: startup steps plus a single `loadScript`
77
+ * `afterLoad`: work that should run after the external script loads
78
+ * `onBeforeLoadGranted` / `onBeforeLoadDenied`: initial consent-specific setup
79
+ * `onLoadGranted` / `onLoadDenied`: post-load consent-specific setup
80
+ * `onConsentChange`: runs on every consent update
81
+ * `onConsentGranted` / `onConsentDenied`: branch-specific consent updates
82
+
83
+ For vendors with explicit consent APIs, you can also use:
84
+
85
+ * `consentMapping`
86
+ * `consentSignal`
87
+ * `consentSignalTarget`
88
+
89
+ That is how the Google integrations map c15t consent categories to Consent Mode v2 and inject `default` and `update` signals in the correct phase order.
90
+
91
+ `category` supports the same consent condition model as a plain `Script`, so manifests can represent simple or nested rules such as:
92
+
93
+ ```ts
94
+ category: { and: ['measurement', { not: 'marketing' }] }
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ ## Structured Steps
98
+
99
+ Prefer structured steps over raw script text. The current manifest DSL supports patterns like:
100
+
101
+ * `setGlobal`
102
+ * `setGlobalPath`
103
+ * `defineQueueFunction`
104
+ * `defineStubFunction`
105
+ * `pushToQueue`
106
+ * `callGlobal`
107
+ * `defineQueueMethods`
108
+ * `defineGlobalMethods`
109
+ * `constructGlobal`
110
+ * `loadScript`
111
+
112
+ These steps are easier to validate, test, debug, and eventually transport from the server.
113
+
114
+ ## Example Manifest Integration
115
+
116
+ If you are building a reusable helper, the pattern looks like this:
117
+
118
+ ```ts
119
+ import type { Script } from 'c15t';
120
+ import { resolveManifest } from '@c15t/scripts/resolve';
121
+ import {
122
+ vendorManifestContract,
123
+ type VendorManifest,
124
+ } from '@c15t/scripts/types';
125
+
126
+ const acmeManifest = {
127
+ ...vendorManifestContract,
128
+ vendor: 'acme-analytics',
129
+ category: 'measurement',
130
+ bootstrap: [
131
+ {
132
+ type: 'setGlobal',
133
+ name: 'acmeQueue',
134
+ value: [],
135
+ ifUndefined: true,
136
+ },
137
+ {
138
+ type: 'defineQueueFunction',
139
+ name: 'acme',
140
+ queue: 'acmeQueue',
141
+ ifUndefined: true,
142
+ },
143
+ ],
144
+ install: [
145
+ {
146
+ type: 'callGlobal',
147
+ global: 'acme',
148
+ args: ['init', '{{siteId}}'],
149
+ },
150
+ {
151
+ type: 'loadScript',
152
+ src: 'https://cdn.acme.com/analytics.js?site={{siteId}}',
153
+ async: true,
154
+ },
155
+ ],
156
+ onConsentGranted: [
157
+ {
158
+ type: 'callGlobal',
159
+ global: 'acme',
160
+ args: ['consent', true],
161
+ },
162
+ ],
163
+ onConsentDenied: [
164
+ {
165
+ type: 'callGlobal',
166
+ global: 'acme',
167
+ args: ['consent', false],
168
+ },
169
+ ],
170
+ } as const satisfies VendorManifest;
171
+
172
+ export function acmeAnalytics(siteId: string): Script {
173
+ return resolveManifest(acmeManifest, { siteId });
174
+ }
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ## Design Guidelines
178
+
179
+ When building an integration, prefer these rules:
180
+
181
+ * Keep helper logic thin. Put behavior in the manifest, not in post-resolution callback mutation.
182
+ * Keep manifests serializable. Avoid helper-only runtime branches where possible.
183
+ * Use explicit config inputs. Avoid generic override bags when a named option is clearer.
184
+ * Use `alwaysLoad` only when the vendor truly manages its own consent correctly.
185
+ * Use `persistAfterConsentRevoked` only when the vendor exposes a real consent toggle and does not need a full reload.
186
+ * Keep vendor-specific naming out of the core DSL when a generic step can express it.
187
+
188
+ ## Testing Checklist
189
+
190
+ At minimum, test these flows:
191
+
192
+ 1. Initial page load with consent denied.
193
+ 2. Initial page load with consent granted.
194
+ 3. Consent granted after the script was previously denied.
195
+ 4. Consent revoked after the script was previously active.
196
+ 5. Existing script element reuse if the script persists after revocation.
197
+ 6. Error handling if the vendor global or loader is missing.
198
+
199
+ If you are contributing to `@c15t/scripts`, add focused engine/helper tests similar to the existing tests in `packages/scripts/src/engine.test.ts` and `packages/scripts/src/helpers.test.ts`.
200
+
201
+ ## Debugging
202
+
203
+ Use `@c15t/dev-tools` while implementing and testing integrations.
204
+
205
+ The scripts panel now shows:
206
+
207
+ * whether a script is loaded, pending, or blocked
208
+ * grouped activity for `onBeforeLoad`, `onLoad`, and `onConsentChange`
209
+ * manifest phase activity such as `bootstrap`, `consent-default`, `setup`, and `afterLoad`
210
+
211
+ The events panel also records script lifecycle and manifest step events, which is useful when a vendor reads consent too early or a startup step runs in the wrong order.
212
+
213
+ ## When to Stop and Use a Plain Script
214
+
215
+ Not every integration needs a reusable manifest helper.
216
+
217
+ If the vendor snippet is tiny, unique to one app, or mostly static, a plain `Script` object in your runtime options is usually the simpler choice. Reach for the manifest system when you need reuse, consistency, structured startup behavior, or a path to server-driven manifests.
