Usercentrics CMP Is Google-Certified for New Publisher Requirements

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Usercentrics, leading provider of consent and preference management solutions, stresses the importance for publishers to implement a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) that supports the latest Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2. Starting in February, publishers serving ads in the EU/EEA and UK face new requirements to secure their advertising revenue and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations.

Publishers using Google AdSense, Ad Manager, or AdMob for EU/EEA or UK audiences now need to comply with Google's requirements to continue using personalization features and maintain their monetization. Usercentrics CMP provides an easy, reliable, and scalable way to achieve privacy compliance and meet Google’s requirements.

How publishers should prepare:

1. Adopt a solution that supports the TCF v2.2: Using the TCF v2.2 enables standardizing working with vendors, minimizes data privacy risks, and enables compliance with data privacy requirements.
2. Use a Google-certified CMP: By January 16, 2024, all publishers using Google AdSense, Ad Manager, or AdMob in the EU/EEA or UK were required to adopt a Google-certified CMP that supports the TCF v2.2 to continue serving ads and accessing personalization features.
3. Get support for Google’s Additional Consent: The Google-certified CMP implemented should also be able to signal consent collected from users to ad tech providers that are not part of the TCF v2.2 vendor list, but that are listed on Google’s Ad Tech Providers (ATP) list.

Usercentrics CEO Donna Dror noted, “Google provides services critical for audience reach and revenue generation to millions of companies globally. Their new requirements provide a tremendous boost for data privacy, making the need for users’ consent the standard in digital markets like online advertising.”
