The Role of Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF)
Consent as a Legal Basis:
Under TCF 2.2, suppliers must utilize consent as the legal basis for processing personal data for advertising and content customization.

User Control:
Users can provide or withdraw consent and use their ‘right to object’ to data processing. They also have more control over data processing aspects, such as precise geolocation.
The Right to Object:
Most international privacy regulations fall into one of two categories when it comes to using user consent as a legal foundation for data processing: opt-in or opt-out consent regimes.

Opt-in:
The user must voluntarily provide their email address, sometimes their full name and other personal information.
Opt-out:
If a user decides they no longer want to receive targeted ads, emails or any marketing point, they can follow an opt-out process.
