Custom Vendors

If a third-party service on your site isn't in the ConsentForge vendor library, create a custom vendor.

When to create a custom vendor

• A proprietary or internal script that tracks users
• A niche SaaS tool not yet in the library
• A client-specific integration

Creating a custom vendor

1. Go to Property → Vendors → Add Vendor → Custom Vendor
2. Fill in the required fields:

Field	Required	Notes
Name	Yes	Shown in Preference Center
Provider	Yes	Company name
Category	Yes	necessary, analytics, marketing, or functional
Purpose	Yes	Plain-language explanation for users
Cookie names	No	Patterns this vendor sets (used by scanner)
Privacy policy URL	No	Link to vendor's privacy policy

3. Add translations for DE (and any other active locales)
4. Save

Adding cookie/script patterns

In the Cookie names field, add patterns that the scanner should associate with this vendor:

_mycookie
_myapp_*
myapp.tracking.*

Supports exact names and wildcard patterns (*).

Script blocking for custom vendors

To block scripts from your custom vendor, add the data-consent-category attribute to the script on your page:

<script
  type="text/plain"
  data-consent-category="analytics"
  src="https://tracking.myapp.com/tracker.js"
></script>

See Script Blocking for full details.

Submitting to the library

If your custom vendor would be useful to other ConsentForge users, submit it for inclusion in the library via Vendors → Custom Vendors → Submit to Library.
