      GPP Implementation

      An explanation of GPP implementation deadlines and how to configure GPP in your Admiral account.

      Overview

      Admiral's Consent Management Platform (CMP) now supports the Global Privacy Platform (GPP), the next generation privacy API. This article will cover deadlines for adoption of GPP as well as the steps you must take to go live with GPP. 

       

      GPP Deadlines

      Publishers using Admiral's Consent CMP for CCPA: you must switch to the GPP framework by September 30th, 2023.

      Publishers currently using Admiral's Consent CMP for GDPR exclusively: you can implement the GPP update, but you are not required to do so before the 9/30 deadline. While we expect a deadline to be provided in the future, there is currently not a set deadline for addressing GDPR (TCF) with GPP.

      FAQs: 

      How does GPP relate to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)? 

      If a publisher has GPP enabled, it will include CCPA compliance. However, if a publisher only has CCPA compliance, it will only cover California and not other states.

       

      Is there a deadline for implementing GPP? 

      There is no current deadline for implementing GPP if a publisher is only live with GDPR CMP. However, if a publisher is currently complying with CCPA, they must switch over to GPP by September 30, 2023. 

       

      Can vendors access GDPR consent information through GPP? 

      Yes, GDPR consent information can be accessed through GPP, but vendors may also continue to look at both the TCF API directly and GPP. 

       

      Is there flexibility in the MSPA agreement for GPP? 

      No, there is no flexibility in the MSPA agreement for GPP. Publishers will need to sign a new agreement that lays out what they are allowed and not allowed to do, and how they are expected to comply with it.
