Quantcast Choice Supports TCF v2.0; Leading Consent Management Platform Now Offers Expanded Features in Free Solution

London -- April 27, 2020: Quantcast, the audience intelligence company and leader in consent management, has announced that an upgraded version of Quantcast Choice? will be free, beginning May 4, 2020, to help with the critical and time-sensitive transition to the latest Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.0). The framework has undergone an overhaul following reviews by regulatory bodies like the ICO on the basis of European privacy laws. To make the transition as seamless and cost-effective as possible, publishers and marketers can now access expanded Choice features and update to the TCF v2.0 in minutes.

Having worked hand-in-hand with the IAB Europe and key stakeholders to develop the new standards for GDPR compliance, the revamped Quantcast Choice product allows publishers and marketers to implement a CMP on their site that is updated to the latest guidelines, before TCF v1.1 is no longer supported at the end of June 2020. Quantcast Choice will be available for free to current and new customers that use one or more of Quantcast's other products.

"The new TCF provides valuable support for consumer privacy decisions, as well as a way for the publishing and advertising ecosystem to effectively operate and continue to fund content creators across the open web," said Konrad Feldman, co-founder and CEO of Quantcast. "Quantcast is committed to helping the open internet thrive, and for an increasingly consent-driven world that means providing a product that allows publishers and marketers to provide clear consumer notice and preferences in an easy-to-deploy solution that will not further stretch their budgets in this challenging economic environment."

"Quantcast Choice has allowed us to easily improve the UX of consent across 50+ of our sites," said Dominic Perkins, Digital Advertising Strategy Director at Immediate Media. "The ability to make changes from within the CMP portal has streamlined the entire process, allowing us to make adjustments ranging from styling to language. Most importantly, this has reduced the need for development resources."

About the Solution:
With upgraded Choice features available for free, all publishers and marketers will have access to an IAB TCF v2.0 validated CMP that offers:
o GDPR, ePrivacy Directive and CCPA support for user privacy preferences
o Access to Quantcast Measure insights
o A Universal Tag for single deployment across multiple domains for both consent management and audience analytics
o A Central Portal for UX customizations and configuration management across different properties
o IAB and non-IAB vendor management capabilities

In line with the IAB TCF v2.0, Quantast Choice will now:

o Give publishers and marketers more control: Publishers and marketers can now specify purposes they allow each of their partners to collect, and how consumer data is processed on their properties
o Broaden compliance measures: In addition to consent, Choice now enables consumers to object to data processing based on legitimate interest within the UI directly
