Does the TCF require a “Reject” button in the first layer of the banner?

No. According to TCF 2.0 guidelines the first layer must contain only an action request for the user such that he or she can provide consent (e.g. “Accept”, “OK”, “Allow” etc.) and provide an option to amend the selection (e.g. “advanced settings”, “customise selection” etc.). TCF 2.0 guidelines do not require an action request in the first layer which enables the user to revoke consent. It is up to the publisher whether or not to show a “Reject” button in the first layer if you wish to do so or if local laws require it.

For your information: The setting which shows a “Reject” button in the first layer is activated by default in the Usercentrics CMP although this option can also be deactivated. Important to know: If the user is not given the option to opt out in the first layer, the website may no longer be GDPRcompliant. Seek the advice of your lawyer or legal department before taking this step.
