What is the difference between Global Scope and Service Specific Scope?
TCF gives publishers two options for how you may wish to share your consent information:
Global Scope: If the user makes a consent decision on a website, this will be stored as part of the framework and all other websites working with a CMP activated for TCF 2.0 and who operate in Global Scope have the ability to access this consent information. Important to know: If the user sets his or her privacy settings in Global Scope, these settings shall be binding for all parties participating in Global Scope. Important: This also applies for cases in which the user does NOT grant consent. For example, if a user makes the decision not to provide consent on another website, all other websites from the group must likewise respect this decision.
Important: The following fundamental question must be clarified with Global Scope: Is it clear to the user (even if he or she has been informed accordingly in the banner text) with whom the information is shared? The framework itself offers this option but does not make any point as to how this approach should be legally evaluated. Publishers should definitely consult their lawyers or legal departments on this point.
Service Specific Scope: Only privacy settings relating to the website for which they were requested are valid here.
Important: Google has announced that it will only support TCF 2.0 in the Service Specific Scope. Further information can be found here.
