 2. **Tracking script (priority 2)** - Loads gtag.js or GTM. In Advanced mode, loads immediately. In Basic mode, deferred until consent.
 3. **Footer** - Banner HTML + enqueued `banner.js` and `banner.css`.
 
+### CMP Mode
+
+The `cmp_mode` setting toggles between two operating modes:
+
+- **`self` (default)** - this plugin renders the banner, owns the consent decision, and writes the `att_cc_consent` cookie. Original behaviour.
+- **`tcf_bridge`** - an external IAB TCF v2.2 certified CMP (e.g. Google's free Privacy & messaging / Funding Choices banner, Tarteaucitron.js) renders the banner and emits the official TC string + `gtag('consent', ...)` calls. The plugin suppresses its own banner/modal/`consent default`, and instead loads `public/js/tcf-bridge.js`, which listens to `__tcfapi('addEventListener', 2, …)`, maps TCF purposes back to the three categories, and feeds `AttConsent.update()` so custom-script gating, attribution preservation and the WP Consent API bridge continue to work. Used when the site needs to satisfy Google's CMP requirement for EEA/UK/CH AdSense/AdMob traffic.
+
 ### Key Files
 
 - `includes/class-frontend.php` - Orchestrates the output order. The `output_consent_defaults()` method generates the critical inline script.
