The Vendor List Manager is designed to help you identify, qualify and manage the CMP vendor list for your website.
General overview
In a simple way, you can add or remove vendors to your list and then export the list for use in building your CMP notice.
The main goal is to have the number of detected vendors equal to the number of vendors declared in the CMP.
The second goal is to get rid of vendors which are not active anymore on your website to reduce your vendor list.
In the Vendor List Manager you have 3 main parts :
Key indicators
This part provides indicators regarding the vendor on your website.
The first line displays information about your current environment following a scan,
the second line is a projected view of your future environment once you have updated your CMP.
The main indicators (those of your current environment) are clickable. Each of them will give a specific view on the table below.
Informative text
For each main indicator, an informative text accompanies it to help you understand the information displayed or the actions you can take.
Table
The table allows you to have detailed information on the vendors like its name, its category or its trust index.
Section details
Here you have a detailed information about each section.
All indicators are related to the selected period.
Vendors detected
This section displays all vendors that were detected on your website.
Detected in CMP
This section displays vendors that were detected on your CMP’s website (active or not).
Active and in CMP
This section displays vendors that are active and declared in your CMP.
Active but not in CMP
This section displays vendors that are active but are not declared in your CMP.
To be in compliance with the law you must declare these vendors in your CMP.
We recommend that you add these vendors to your vendor list in order to update your CMP.
Ideally this number should be equal to 0.
Inactive and in CMP
This section displays vendors that were detected on your CMP but were not active for the selected period.
We recommend to remove these vendors in order to reduce your vendor list.
Projected vendor list
This part represents your ongoing project.
When you declare a new vendor or remove one, those indicators will show you the result of your actions.
Declared in this vendor list project
This represents the state of your future vendor list once you have exported your project and updated your CMP.
This icon indicates that the number of vendor has increased

Table
The table allows you to have detailed information on vendors
- Declared : if the vendor is newly declared in the vendor list
- Vendor name
- Its trust index
- Its category

You also have the ability to add or remove a vendor from your vendor list directly with the last column
Filters
When you want to search for a specific vendor you can type its name on the search bar.
You can also use filters to be more precise in your research.
All the filters are cumulative and you can select multiple of them.
For example, you can search for vendors that only declared Consent as legal basis and in the TCF with a trust index of D.
When you are done you can click on the Clear all button to clear all filters.

You need to create a new notice that will replace the current one or update the one you currently have.
In the behavior section,
at the bottom, you have a custom json section where you can copy/paste the json you just downloaded and validated.
It will add all the vendor that are in your vendor list.
Specific case
Unknown vendor
An unknown vendor is a vendor domain that does not have a vendor name attached to it.
In order to add it to your vendor list, you must associate a vendor with it.

You will then be able to see all the domains that are not associated with a vendor
To associate a domain with a vendor you must click on the + button
By default the system will propose one or several vendors that could be compatible
If there are no proposals or if the proposals do not correspond to the unknown vendor it will be necessary to contact Agnostik support to request the addition of the vendor.
