PaulC35349Q: Why do you collect data for 900 other websites per default ? How to disable it
Hi checked out the free trial, the solution is good for me, but i noticed hat when the user wants to customuze his choices, then a section with partenr webste appears and that you actually collect data for more than 900 websties, which i find surprising since you sell a paid service and moroever resale the data of your customer's curtomers... So is there a way to disable this and make this list disaper to collect only for my website ? Thanks

Mar 6, 2026A: Hi PaulC35349,
Great question! What you're seeing is the IAB TCF 2.2 vendor list, which is a standard part of the Transparency and Consent Framework. When IAB TCF is enabled, the preference center displays registered advertising vendors so your visitors can make informed, granular consent choices.
Consently does not sell or share your visitors' data with any of those vendors.
Good news: we're deploying an update this Sunday that will change the list to show only your selected vendors, so visitors will no longer see the full 900+ vendor list.
If you don't need IAB TCF at all (for example, if you're not running programmatic advertising), you can also disable it entirely in your Cookie Banner settings and the vendor list will not appear.
If you need any help in the meantime, reach out at [email protected] and we'll be happy to assist!
Thanks for the reply, I understand, but I believe the list is still present and selected by default even in case of choosing a compliance framework without TFC.
I am looking forward for the update, i think that will be quite usefull. Thank you
Hi PaulC35349, thank you for bringing this up, the fix is now live. The vendor list will now render based on your configuration, so if you're not using IAB TCF, the 900+ vendor list will no longer appear. Please give it a try and let us know if everything looks good!
