Cookie solution for CTV & OTT

What does compliance look like in a Smart TV/CTV or OTT application?

  • Compliance in a Smart TV device, OTT app or a CTV means that users must consent to the processing of their personal data through a cookie notice or banner in order for their data to be processed. This cookie banner should provide the option to accept or reject the use of cookies and contain links to privacy policies and relevant information about the providers that process users’ data. Providing a cookie banner is critical to comply with data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), GPP, IAB TCF v2.2 or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
  • Lack of consent or insufficient information about data collection practices can lead to legal and financial penalties , brand damage , and loss of trust among users. Therefore, the use of a comprehensive cookie consent manager is essential to ensure compliance with data protection standards and protecting user privacy on smart TVs, OTT apps and CTV platforms . consentmanager customers can also be assured that the consentmanager software has been tested with all types of input devices . Some TVs have a “smart” remote that acts like a computer mouse, while others have a remote that only supports moving up and down. consentmanger ‘s system and the consentmanager SDK used for Connected TV Consent are intuitive enough to understand this.

What are Connected TV (CTV) and OTT apps?

CTV refers to television devices that are connected to the Internet and allow access to online content via apps or streaming services directly on the television screen. Examples of popular Smart TV brands include Samsung, LG, Sony and Philips .

OTT apps are applications that are delivered over the Internet without the need for traditional TV infrastructure such as cable or satellite TV. With these apps, users can access content at any time and on various devices such as smartphones, tablets and even smart TVs . Well-known examples of OTT applications are Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ .

Both CTV and OTT apps typically require consent banners , as when using CTV and OTT apps, users must be informed and given the choice to consent or reject the processing of their personal data. Regulations in this context include the TTDSG in Germany , the ePrivacy Directive , the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the GDPR .
