AdRoll CMP System is a TCFv2.0-certified consent management platform built by NextRoll Inc. It displays cookie consent banners on websites, giving visitors clear options to accept or decline tracking cookies used for advertising. The CMP records consent preferences and transmits them to downstream ad partners. It integrates with Google Tag Manager for tag-level consent control. AdRoll CMP is designed for publishers and advertisers who use AdRoll retargeting and need to comply with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and CCPA requirements.
AdRoll CMP System is a consent management platform developed by NextRoll Inc., the company behind the AdRoll advertising and retargeting platform. It provides websites with a TCFv2.0-certified cookie consent banner that enables visitors to make informed decisions about how their personal data is collected and used for advertising purposes.
When a visitor lands on a website using AdRoll CMP, the system displays a prominent consent banner that clearly explains what cookies and tracking technologies are in use. Visitors can choose to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or customise their preferences by category. The CMP records each visitor's consent choice and stores it as a TCF consent string, which is then passed to downstream advertising partners so they can honour the visitor's preferences.
The platform integrates with Google Tag Manager (GTM), allowing website owners to control which tags fire based on the visitor's consent status. This ensures that analytics, advertising, and other tracking scripts only execute when proper consent has been granted.
AdRoll CMP itself sets cookies to store visitor consent preferences. When used alongside AdRoll advertising products, additional cookies are placed for retargeting, audience segmentation, and conversion tracking. The CMP uses JavaScript tags embedded in the website to detect visitor interactions and manage consent state. First-party cookies store consent records, while AdRoll advertising cookies may include third-party cookies for cross-site tracking.
AdRoll CMP is built to help websites comply with GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and CCPA. As a TCFv2.0-approved CMP registered with the IAB Europe, it follows the industry-standard framework for collecting, storing, and transmitting consent signals. The system provides granular consent options that let visitors control specific data processing purposes such as personalised advertising, analytics, and content personalisation.
NextRoll Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, and processes data in the United States. The company participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to provide adequate safeguards for transatlantic data transfers. Website owners using AdRoll CMP should ensure their privacy policy discloses the use of AdRoll services and the associated data transfers to the US.

AdRoll CMP can be deployed as a standalone consent tool or as part of a broader AdRoll advertising setup. It supports customisation of banner appearance, consent categories, and language settings. The platform provides a dashboard for monitoring consent rates and managing compliance settings. For websites already using third-party CMPs like ConsentManager.net, AdRoll offers integration guidance to ensure consent signals are properly shared with AdRoll advertising tags.
Websites using AdRoll CMP System must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
AdRoll CMP processes consent signals that qualify as personal data under GDPR. The system records visitor choices and shares consent status with third-party ad partners. A DPIA should assess the scope of data sharing with NextRoll and downstream partners, cookie lifetimes, and cross-border data transfers to the US. Evaluate whether the TCFv2.0 framework provides sufficient transparency for your users.
