Custom Consent Scopes (Enterprise Package only)
A custom consent scope allows you to share consent information across multile CMPs in your account. In order to use it, go to CMPs > Edit > Show advanced settings > Consent Scope and click on Add new scope. Give the new scope a name and press save. Once done, you will find the new consent scope in the select box in your CMP settings. You can now use the same consent scope in multiple CMPs.
