The core of Prebid.js contains only the foundational code needed for header bidding. Any functionality that could be considered an add-on is part of a module. These are the major categories:
Prebid.org highly recommends that publishers utilize the following modules:
Module | Description |
---|---|
Consent Management - GPP | If you have users in regions of the world that adhere to the Global Privacy Platform, this module works with your Consent Management Platform to pass consent info to bidders and help align with regional regulations. |
Consent Management - TCF | If you have users in Europe, this module works with your Consent Management Platform to pass consent info to bidders and help align with EU regulations. See also the TCF Control module. |
GPP Control - USNat | If your CMP populates section 7 of the Global Privacy Platform, the USNat string, this module complements the `consentManagementGpp` module to control Prebid.js accordingly. |
GPP Control - US States | If your CMP populates sections 8-12 of the Global Privacy Platform, this module complements the `consentManagementGpp` module to control Prebid.js accordingly. |
GPT Pre-Auction | If you run GAM, this module generates the 'global placement id' that's becoming required for successful auctions. |
TCF Control | If you have users in Europe, you can use this module to enable actions for processing under the GDPR and ePrivacy |
Modules in the Real-Time Data (RTD) category conform to a consistent set of publisher controls. The publisher can choose to run multiple RTD modules, define an overall amount of time they’re willing to wait for results, and even flag some of the modules as being higher priority than others. See the realTimeData setConfig reference for more details.
