### Context

Permutive is not listed as a TCF vendor as all data collection is on behalf of the publisher and based on consent the publisher has received from the user.
Rather than through the TCF framework, this consent is provided to Permutive when the user gives the relevant permissions on the publisher website which allow the Permutive SDK to run.
This means that if TCF controls are enabled _and_ the user consent isn’t given for Permutive to fire, no cohorts will populate.
As Prebid utilizes TCF vendor consent, for the Permutive RTD module to load, Permutive needs to be labeled within the Vendor Exceptions
While Permutive is listed as a TCF vendor (ID: 361), Permutive does not obtain consent directly from the TCF. As we act as a processor on behalf of our publishers consent is given to the Permutive SDK by the publisher, not by the [GDPR Consent Management Module](/dev-docs/modules/consentManagement.html).

This means that if GDPR enforcement is configured within the Permutive SDK _and_ the user consent isn’t given for Permutive to fire, no cohorts will populate.

If you are also using the [TCF Control Module](/dev-docs/modules/tcfControl.html), in order to prevent Permutive from being blocked, it needs to be labeled within the Vendor Exceptions.

### Instructions

1. Publisher enables rules within Prebid GDPR module
1. Publisher enables rules within Prebid.js configuration.
2. Label Permutive as an exception, as shown below.
