CMP privacy choices

Storage, duration, and usage details​

The choices you make with this CMP regarding the purposes and entities will affect how personalized advertising is presented to you. We need to store these choices to respect them on future visits, and they are stored differently based on the type of site or app you're using:
  • For sites, your choices are saved in a cookie named “FCCDCF” for a maximum duration of 390 days.
  • For apps, your choices are saved in device storage prefixed by “IABTCF_”. Your choices will be invalidated after 390 days and overwritten once you make new privacy choices on this app.
  • For accelerated mobile page (AMP) sites, your choices are saved in local storage prefixed by “amp-store”. Your choices will be invalidated after 390 days and overwritten once you make new privacy choices on this site.

I personally have no time to answer all these questions every time I open a post, end result is, I cannot read the post, or possibly help, and find the options excessive tp complete so many times, why not have a do not accept option?

This is an option so that the forum runs smooth for you, and is something many websites use.

The data being collected and shared is simply a way for the data, what you type and what you read, to get from your computer, to the servers that hold the forum. It has to go through several other servers before it gets there and back.

It’s better to just accept it at the beginning.

If you “do not accept” then some of that data may get lost, or not show properly for you.



There’s probably a much more technical explaination… but I’m a sparky, not a programmer.
