# How to establish a CMP Connection

## How to Establish a CMP Connection

To use a CMP (Consent Management Platform) connection in JENTIS, you simply need to connect two elements:

1. **Which JENTIS Tag Manager (JTM) container** will use which CMP connection
2. **Which tool/vendor** in JENTIS is mapped to which **category or unique identifier** in the CMP’s API

This section will guide you through the setup process.

### 1. Container–CMP Connection

The first step is to navigate to **Legal Hub → Consentbars** in your JENTIS account.\
Here, you will see a list of available third-party CMP connections.

1. Open the edit screen for your chosen CMP.

2. Select the **JENTIS Tag Manager container** you want to connect.

This step **establishes the communication link** for consent information on the corresponding website.

> **Note:** This connection is **mandatory** to activate tracking in a JENTIS Tag Manager container.\
> If you do not connect a CMP (and do not use the JENTIS Consent Engine), **no data will be processed** by your JENTIS Data Capturing Platform.

### 2. Vendor and Tool Mapping

The mapping of consent is always a **1:1 relationship** between JENTIS and the CMP. Depending on the CMP and your setup, consent can be mapped:

* **By category** – A group of tools in JENTIS is mapped to a corresponding CMP category
* **By tool/vendor** – Each JENTIS vendor is mapped to a specific vendor ID in the CMP

#### Mapping by Category

In the **advanced settings** of a tool, you can select the vendor category. This category is then linked to the CMP’s category.

#### Mapping by Tool/Vendor

For CMP connections that operate at tool level:

1. Map the **vendor in JENTIS** to the **vendor ID** in the CMP.
2. If applicable, select a **specific category** for that tool.

> **Tip:** Accessing a tool’s CMP ID can sometimes be challenging, as not all CMPs provide public documentation.\
> In most cases, JENTIS predefines these mappings because CMP IDs are static.\
> If you are unsure, **contact JENTIS Customer Support**.

✅ **Summary**:

* Connect your JENTIS container to a CMP via **Legal Hub → Consentbars**
* Map tools/vendors to CMP categories or vendor IDs
* Ensure the mapping is correct for accurate and compliant tracking
