Bidtellect.Tcf 1.1.0

Transparency and Consent Framework C# SDK

A library written in C# which provides functionality to parse and serialize IAB TCF Strings.

This library currently only supports v2.0 of the specification.

Usage

Fetch the Global Vendor List (GVL)

You can get the most recent version of the GVL using the GvlClient:

var client = new GvlClient();

VendorList gvl = client.Fetch();

Note: The GVL is not needed to parse TC strings as long as you know the Purpose and Vendor IDs.

Parse a TC String

You can parse a TC String using the TcStringParser:

var tcString = "COvFyGBOvFyGBAbAAAENAPCAAOAAAAAAAAAAAEEUACCKAAA.IFoEUQQgAIQwgIwQABAEAAAAOIAACAIAAAAQAIAgEAACEAAAAAgAQBAAAAAAAGBAAgAAAAAAAFAAECAAAgAAQARAEQAAAAAJAAIAAgAAAYQEAAAQmAgBC3ZAYzUw";

// GVL can be null if the metadata is not needed.
var parser = new TcStringParser(gvl);

TcString model = parser.Parse(tcString);

You can instruct the parser to skip certain segments of the TC Strings using ParseOptions:

TcString model = parser.Parse(tcString, new TcStringParser.ParseOptions {
    ExcludePublisherTc = true,
});

Serialize a TC String

You can serialize a TcString object back into a string representation using TcStringSerializer:

var serializer = new TcStringSerializer();

string message = serializer.Serialize(tcString);
