IAB TCF Vendor List and Consent Disclosures Published

The ExchangeWire digest and registry page (published in August 2026) provides a primarily machine-readable IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF 980) vendor disclosure listing dozens-to-hundreds of adtech, martech, measurement and publisher vendors. For each company the registry records declared Purposes (Consent vs Legitimate Interest), Special Purposes/Features, data categories processed (device, identifier, interaction, etc.), tracking methods, per-vendor consent expiry and data retention periods — including specific retention examples for some vendors. The alphabetical roster names major providers such as Branch Metrics, 33Across, Adobe Advertising Cloud/Audience Manager, Amazon Ads, Google Advertising Products, Criteo, LiveRamp and PubMatic. Intended as a machine-readable transparency resource for publishers, CMP operators and privacy/compliance teams, the page shows explicit publication timestamps in August 2026 (2026-08-12, 2026-08-13, 2026-08-19 and 2026-08-20).
