It aims to provide a clearer communication path between publishers, advertisers, and users regarding data usage and consent. **Consentmo** has been **approved as a Consent Management Platform (CMP) by IAB Europe**. After rigorous testing and evaluation, Consentmo has been added to the official list of CMPs that meet the compliance standards set by the IAB Europe’s CMP Compliance Program. This approval reaffirms our commitment to providing top-tier privacy compliance solutions that meet strict industry standards. # Enabling Once you access the **Settings** tab go to the **TCF 2.3** section.

We recommend that a list with only the services used in the given store is set from there, to avoid any confusion for the store visitors and to ensure that the integration will work correctly for your compliance and for the safety of the visitor's data [![](https://gdprstorage.b-cdn.net/faq/gif/TCF-vendors-list.gif)](https://gdprstorage.b-cdn.net/faq/gif/TCF-vendors-list.gif) # Working with Smart Geotargeting The TCF 2.3 functionality from the Consentmo app, is locking the regions options, to display the banner only n the EU region where this is required. However, if you need to show the banner in more region, you have the option for this by enabling the Smart Geotargeting option in the app. The TCF 2.3 banner will still be shown for the EU visitors of the store, and for the rest of the region you enable it for, you can adjust the settings as per this guide as well: * [Smart Geolocation - Consentmo GDPR: Region-Specific Cookie Banners for Global Shopify Compliance](https://support.consentmo.com/en/article/smart-geolocation-consentmo-gdpr-region-specific-cookie-banners-for-global-shopify-compliance-j1e25t/) [![](https://gdprstorage.b-cdn.net/faq/gif/TCF-vs-Geotargeting.gif)](https://gdprstorage.b-cdn.net/faq/gif/TCF-vs-Geotargeting.gif) # Need help?
