IAB purposes are automatically associated with the vendors you select. Vendors may choose to use legitimate interest for their purposes. It is up to you to remove it, if you wish.
What is legitimate interest?
This is a different legal basis from consent, allowing the automated processing of personal data, subject to a certain number of conditions: this processing must be legitimate, necessary and not prejudice the rights and interests of individuals.
This is a legal basis that is rarely used in France, except in special cases.
To know when legitimate interest applies under GDPR, please consult your legal department.
If some of your purposes are based on legitimate interest (as below) and you want to remove it, you can follow this step by step. Otherwise, you have the possibility to create a vendor (custom), in case the one provided does not suit you.
