Understanding Account structure, Vendors, Purposes and Cookies
In ConsentManager you will find different entities that you can create, enable, select and assign to each other.
Account structure
In your account you will be able to create one or more CMPs. The CMP is the root for all your general settings, legal settings and will give you a unique code that you need to implement into your website.
You will then assign one or more vendors, purposes and cookies to this CMP. Also each CMP will use one or more designs.
Purposes
Purposes are "groups" of vendors. On the one hand, purposes will help your visitors to better understand what a certain vendor is doing (e.g. marketing, analytics, social media, ...). On the other hand, the purposes will help the visitor to make the decision easier by enabling or disabling a purpose (and with with all vendors that belong to this purpose) instead of enabling/disabling each vendor one by one.
Vendors
A vendor represents a company or tool that is used in your website and that either sets cookies or processes personal data of the visitor. Usually the integrated crawler will tell you which vendors are used on your website and add them automatically to your vendor list. Please ensure to assign a purpose to each vendor.
Cookies
Please note that cookies are only informational and do not change the way if/how the blocking is done in the website. The CMP will always block purposes and/or vendors but never block single cookies.
