[Cookies](https://support.didomi.io/faq#cookies) # Some cookies are dropped on my website before consent #### There are two main reasons why vendors drops cookies before user consent. ### **1- Legitimate interest Use** IAB vendors automatically receive the Consent String and drop their cookies according to the user's consent status. These vendors are linked to purposes they established for themselves, yet you (publishers) can [configure some restrictions](https://7560723.hs-sites.com/knowledge/parameter-the-publisher-restrictions-in-the-didomi-console) if you feel the need to. Some of these IAB vendors are using 'legitimate interest' as a legal basis, it can explain why some cookies can be dropped before consent has been given. To check if a vendor is part of IAB: - Go to your **Consent Notice.**  - Then to the **1.Regulations** Step - Click on the blue button "**Edit vendors & purposes**" below your regulation. - An IAB vendor has the **"IAB" logo ** - You can go and see all the IAB vendors in [this list (V3)](https://vendor-list.consensu.org/v3/vendor-list.json) - To see all the purposes for every vendor, you can click on "preview" at the top right of your screen. Then go to the third view of your notice "View partners". Click on the name of one of the partners, and you will see all the purposes he is linked to. \- Consent based purposes. (**1**) \- Purposes with legitimate interest. (**2**) \- Additional data processing purposes. (**3**) \- Categories of data **(4)** -Device storage **(5)**![LI - vendor iab](https://support.didomi.io/hs-fs/hubfs/LI%20-%20vendor%20iab.png?width=688&height=648&name=LI%20-%20vendor%20iab.png) You will find more information about purposes and features in our article [Summary of new features of the TCF v2.2](https://support.didomi.io/iab-tcf-v2.2-purposes/features-summary) ### **2- Non-IAB vendors Misconfiguration** Non-IAB vendors don't receive consent automatically. It is necessary that you condition the non IAB vendors to the user consent. If you don't, they will drop cookies before user consent. This will represent some configuration on your side, depending on what Tag Manager you are using: - With your 📰 [Tag Manager](https://developers.didomi.io/cmp/web-sdk/third-parties/custom-integrations/tag-managers) using one of our integrations -
