# Deprecated

{% hint style="warning" %}
This page documents variables that were deprecated and that should not be used anymore.

If you are using Didomi variables for the first time, please directly refer to [this page](/cmp/web-sdk/third-parties/tags-management/events-and-variables.md).
{% endhint %}

## Deprecated vendor IDs

The Didomi Web SDK used to format vendor IDs with a prefix ( `prefix:ID,`).

The prefix that were supported:

* `iab:` for IAB vendors.
* `didomi:` for Didomi vendors.
* `c:` for custom vendors.

When non-GDPR regulations were introduced in the Didomi platform, a new and simpler vendor ID format was introduced and the prefix was removed.

To remain backward compatible, the variables listed on this page are still supported and continue to use the prefixed vendor IDs. **However, if your consent notices use multiple regulations, you must switch to the** [**new variables**](/cmp/web-sdk/third-parties/tags-management/events-and-variables.md#variables)**.**

* Example with prefix vendor IDs: `iab:628,didomi:google,c:custom,`
* Example with non-prefixed vendor IDs: `tappx-jjy49eFA,google,custom,`
