Privacy Market: Apple Overhauls App-Tracking Consent; France Court Blocks Ban
The ExchangeWire page (published 2026-08-18) contains a long vendor / IAB TCF listing showing dozens of adtech vendors and their declared purposes, data categories, tracking methods, consent expiries and data-retention periods. The document lists vendors that are part of the IAB TCF 980 and provides per-vendor entries such as Purposes (Consent), Special Purposes, Features, Categories of data, Data Retention Period and Your Consent (consent expiry and tracking method). The page is presented under a digest headline referencing Apple and a French court decision, but the fetched content here is the vendor consent/TCF vendor breakdown rather than the article narrative.
Detailed per-vendor IAB TCF disclosures are practically useful for privacy/compliance and adtech integrations but do not represent industry-shifting policy or platform changes.
