The Belgian data protection authority (DPA) has announced that it has formally approved the IAB Europe's action plan concerning its Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). IAB Europe now has a maximum of six months to implement the proposed measures. At this time, court proceedings are still due to go ahead.
UPDATE 120123 - In response, IAB Europe announced that its TCF is compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation following the Belgium DPA's approval of its plan. In a statement, Townsend Feehan, CEO of IAB Europe, said “it is important to bear in mind that implementation of the action plan – which IAB Europe is now being required to effect over a period of six months – would entail operating changes for TCF participants that may ultimately be found inadequate by the European Court.”
