=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 Parse
The Parse method will decode and validate a base64 encoded version of the tcf v2 string.
Will return a C immutable object that allow easy access to different properties.
Will die if can't decode the string.
use GDPR::IAB::TCFv2;
my $consent = GDPR::IAB::TCFv2->Parse(
'CLcVDxRMWfGmWAVAHCENAXCkAKDAADnAABRgA5mdfCKZuYJez-NQm0TBMYA4oCAAGQYIAAAAAAEAIAEgAA.argAC0gAAAAAAAAAAAA'
);
or
use GDPR::IAB::TCFv2;
my $consent = GDPR::IAB::TCFv2->Parse(
'CLcVDxRMWfGmWAVAHCENAXCkAKDAADnAABRgA5mdfCKZuYJez-NQm0TBMYA4oCAAGQYIAAAAAAEAIAEgAA.argAC0gAAAAAAAAAAAA',
json => {
verbose => 0,
compact => 1,
use_epoch => 0,
boolean_values => [ 0, 1 ],
date_format => '%Y%m%d', # yyymmdd
},
strict => 1,
);
Parse may receive an optional hash of parameters: C (boolean) and C (hashref with the following properties):
=over
=item *
C changes the json encoding. By default we omit some false values such as C to create
a compact json representation. With C we will present everything. See L for more details.
=item *
C changes the json encoding. All fields that are a mapping of something to a boolean will be changed to an array
of all elements keys where the value is true. This affects the following fields: C,
C, C, C and C. See L for more details.
=item *
C changes the json encode. By default we format the C and C are converted to string using
L. With C we will return the unix epoch in seconds.
See L for more details.
=item *
C if present, expects an arrayref if two elements: the C and the C values to be used in json encoding.
If omit, we will try to use C and C if the package L is available, else we will fallback to C<0> and C<1>.
=item *
C if present accepts two kinds of value: an C (to be used on C) or a code reference to a subroutine that
will be called with two arguments: epoch in seconds and nanoseconds. If omitted the format L will be used
except if the option C is true.
=back
On C mode we will validate if the version of the consent string is the version 2 (or die with an exception).
The C mode is disabled by default.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 tc_string
Returns the original consent string.
The consent object L will call this method on string interpolations.
=head2 version
Version number of the encoding format. The value is 2 for this format.
=head2 created
Epoch time format when TC String was created in numeric format. You can easily parse with L if needed.
On scalar context it returns epoch in seconds. On list context it returns epoch in seconds and nanoseconds.
use GDPR::IAB::TCFv2;
use Test::More tests => 3;
my $consent = GDPR::IAB::TCFv2->Parse(
'CLcVDxRMWfGmWAVAHCENAXCkAKDAADnAABRgA5mdfCKZuYJez-NQm0TBMYA4oCAAGQYIAAAAAAEAIAEgAA.argAC0gAAAAAAAAAAAA'
);
is $consent->created, 1228644257,
'should return the creation epoch 07/12/2008';
my ( $seconds, $nanoseconds ) = $consent->created;
is $seconds, 1228644257,
'should return the creation epoch 07/12/2008 on list context';
is $nanoseconds, 700000000,
'should return the 700000000 nanoseconds of epoch on list context';
=head2 last_updated
Epoch time format when TC String was last updated in numeric format. You can easily parse with L if needed.
On scalar context it returns epoch in seconds. On list context it returns epoch in seconds and nanoseconds, like the C
=head2 cmp_id
Consent Management Platform ID that last updated the TC String. Is a unique ID will be assigned to each Consent Management Platform.
=head2 cmp_version
Consent Management Platform version of the CMP that last updated this TC String.
Each change to a CMP should increment their internally assigned version number as a record of which version the user gave consent and transparency was established.
=head2 consent_screen
CMP Screen number at which consent was given for a user with the CMP that last updated this TC String.
The number is a CMP internal designation and is CmpVersion specific. The number is used for identifying on which screen a user gave consent as a record.
=head2 consent_language
Two-letter L language code in which the CMP UI was presented.
=head2 vendor_list_version
Number corresponds to L vendorListVersion.
Version of the GVL used to create this TC String.
=head2 policy_version
Version of policy used within L.
From the corresponding field in the GVL that was used for obtaining consent.
=head2 is_service_specific
This field must always have the value of 1. When a Vendor encounters a TC String with C then it is considered invalid.
=head2 use_non_standard_stacks
If true, CMP used non-IAB standard texts during consent gathering.
Setting this to 1 signals to Vendors that a private CMP has modified standard Stack descriptions and/or their translations and/or that a CMP has modified or supplemented standard Illustrations and/or their translations as allowed by the policy..
=head2 is_special_feature_opt_in
If true means Opt in.
The TCF L designates certain Features as "special" which means a CMP must afford the user a means to opt in to their use. These "Special Features" are published and numerically identified in the L from normal Features.
See also: L.
=head2 is_purpose_consent_allowed
If true means Consent.
The user's consent value for each Purpose established on the legal basis of consent.
my $ok = $instance->is_purpose_consent_allowed(1);
See also: L.
=head2 is_purpose_legitimate_interest_allowed
The user's consent value for each Purpose established on the legal basis of legitimate interest.
my $ok = $instance->is_purpose_legitimate_interest_allowed(1);
See also: L.
=head2 purpose_one_treatment
CMPs can use the C field to indicate the legal jurisdiction the publisher is under to help vendors determine whether the vendor needs consent for Purpose 1.
Returns true if Purpose 1 was NOT disclosed at all.
Returns false if Purpose 1 was disclosed commonly as consent as expected by the L.
=head2 publisher_country_code
Two-letter L language code of the country that determines legislation of reference.
Commonly, this corresponds to the country in which the publisher's business entity is established.
=head2 max_vendor_id_consent
The maximum Vendor ID that is represented in the following bit field or range encoding.
Because this section can be a variable length, this indicates the last ID of the section so that a decoder will know when it has reached the end.
=head2 vendor_consent
If true, vendor has consent.
The consent value for each Vendor ID.
my $ok = $instance->vendor_consent(284); # if true, consent ok for Weborama (vendor id 284).
=head2 max_vendor_id_legitimate_interest
The maximum Vendor ID that is represented in the following bit field or range encoding.
Because this section can be a variable length, this indicates the last ID of the section so that a decoder will know when it has reached the end.
=head2 vendor_legitimate_interest
If true, legitimate interest established.
The legitimate interest value for each Vendor ID
my $ok = $instance->vendor_legitimate_interest(284); # if true, legitimate interest established for Weborama (vendor id 284).
=head2 check_publisher_restriction
It true, there is a publisher restriction of certain type, for a given purpose id, for a given vendor id:
# return true if there is publisher restriction to vendor 284 regarding purpose id 1
# with restriction type 0 'Purpose Flatly Not Allowed by Publisher'
my $ok = $instance->check_publisher_restriction(1, 0, 284);
Version 2.0 of the Framework introduced the ability for publishers to signal restrictions on how vendors may process personal data. Restrictions can be of two types:
=over
=item *
Purposes. Restrict the purposes for which personal data is processed by a vendor.
=item *
Legal basis. Specify the legal basis upon which a publisher requires a vendor to operate where a vendor has signaled flexibility on legal basis in the GVL.
=back
Publisher restrictions are custom requirements specified by a publisher. In order for vendors to determine if processing is permissible at all for a specific purpose or which legal basis is applicable (in case they signaled flexibility in the GVL) restrictions must be respected.
=over
=item 1
Vendors must always respect a restriction signal that disallows them the processing for a specific purpose regardless of whether or not they have declared that purpose to be "flexible".
=item 2
Vendors that declared a purpose with a default legal basis (consent or legitimate interest respectively) but also declared this purpose as flexible must respect a legal basis restriction if present. That means for example in case they declared a purpose as legitimate interest but also declared that purpose as flexible and there is a legal basis restriction to require consent, they must then check for the consent signal and must not apply the legitimate interest signal.
=back
For the avoidance of doubt:
In case a vendor has declared flexibility for a purpose and there is no legal basis restriction signal it must always apply the default legal basis under which the purpose was registered aside from being registered as flexible. That means if a vendor declared a purpose as legitimate interest and also declared that purpose as flexible it may not apply a "consent" signal without a legal basis restriction signal to require consent.
=head2 publisher_tc
If the consent string has a C section, we will decode this section as an instance of L.
Will return undefined if there is no C section.
=head2 TO_JSON
Will serialize the consent object into a hash reference. The objective is to be used by L package.
With option C, the encoder will call this method.

If L is installed, the L method will use C and C as boolean value.
By default it returns a compacted format where we omit the C on fields like C and we convert the dates
using L. This behaviour can be changed by extra option in the L constructor.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 looksLikeIsConsentVersion2
