Guidelines & Limitations

Consent Management Platform

Consent Management Platform is needed to deliver ads. We can work with all CMP which are provide at least TCF 2.0

Allowed characters

In order to secure compatibility with all systems connected we recommend for all ATF-tags  to use only:

  • lowercase alphanumeric characters (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,r,s,t,u,w,x,y,z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

  • ‘-’ (minus)

  • ‘_’ (underscore)

We recommend to use only lowercases as some 3rd party systems might be case sensitive.

Note: German special characters (umlaute and scharfes S ) need to be written with Latin characters:

  • ä = ae

  • ö = oe

  • ü = ue

  • ß = ss

There are different characters allowed at different parts of the system (ATF SDK, Prebid, GAM), but the recommended configuration is supported by all of them.
