Why You Need a CMP
Under GDPR, ePrivacy, and similar regulations, publishers must obtain informed, recorded consent before loading non-essential cookies, trackers, or advertising vendors. A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is the tool that requests that consent, stores the user’s choices, and broadcasts them to your downstream partners in a standard, machine-readable format. Without one, ad and analytics revenue from EU users is legally at risk.
