Industry self-regulation

Bidfluence strictly follows and enforce the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Consent Framework for managing GDPR consent for data collection and processing in the European Union.
The Consent Framework technology shows on a website a cookie consent banner asking for permission to collect and process personal data.
When consent is provided, a string is passed along the Advertising pipeline to all parties involved in showindg an advertisement, to define the extent of the consent. In absence of this consent string we do not process any personal data, and all parties involved are required to do so.

For California CCPA, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) created the CCPA Compliance Framework, that works using the same principles as the above GDPR Consent Framework, using a consent string to express the user consent.
Our technology fully comply and enforce both frameworks.
