Important: Please ensure your CMP configuration includes new Vendor ID 1469 for 1st Party data tracking. Additionally, include Vendor ID 301 if cookie sync is enabled. Learn more
This approach allows you to manage user consent using your own custom logic and user interface (like a custom consent dialog or integration with a non-TCF CMP) and then communicate the user’s choices directly to the Zeotap iOS SDK using the setConsent API call. This method is suitable when:
  • You are not using an IAB TCF v2.x compliant Consent Management Platform (CMP).
  • You have built your own consent collection mechanism.
  • You need fine-grained control over when and how consent signals are passed to the SDK.
  • You are implementing consent requirements for regulations other than GDPR (though it can be used for GDPR if implemented correctly).
  • You want to integrate with a non-TCF CMP or custom privacy solution.

​
How it Works

  1. SDK Configuration: You initialize the Zeotap SDK with specific options to indicate you will be managing consent manually.
  2. User Interaction: Your app presents a consent mechanism (e.g., a dialog, settings screen) to the user.
  3. Capture Consent: Your app’s code captures the user’s consent choices (e.g., accepting tracking, accepting specific data uses).
  4. Call setConsent: Your code calls the setConsent() function, passing a dictionary representing the user’s consent status.
  5. SDK Action: The Zeotap SDK receives this consent object, stores it locally, and uses it to determine whether subsequent tracking calls should proceed.

Configuration

To enable Custom Consent Management, you must configure the SDK during initialization as follows: 
// SDK Initialization for Custom Consent
var collectOptions = CollectOption()
    .writeKey(value: "YOUR_WRITE_KEY")
    // --- Configuration for Custom Consent ---
    .useConsent(value: true)           // REQUIRED: Enables consent features
    .checkForCMP(value: false)         // REQUIRED: Tells the SDK *not* to look for TCF CMP data
    .build()

Collect.initialize(option: collectOptions)

// Test granting consent
Collect.getInstance()?.setConsent(["track": true]) 
        
// Test denying consent
Collect.getInstance()?.setConsent(["track": false])
        
// Test mixed consent
Collect.getInstance()?.setConsent([
    "track": true,
    "marketingConsent": false
])
