About

The Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) is an open-source industry standard developed by IAB Europe that helps companies comply with GDPR and ePrivacy requirements when processing personal data in digital advertising ecosystems.

It defines technical specifications and policies for collecting and communicating user consent choices, standardizes how these preferences are shared between publishers, advertisers, and CMPs, maintains a centralized list of approved vendors, and ensures transparency by giving users clear control over how their data is used.

The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.

It specifies a set of HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.
