# Global extra vendors / Global extra purposes

## Global extra vendors

A **Global extra vendor** is an extra vendor that we predefine and make available to all accounts. Unlike a [regular extra vendor,](/configuration/step-2-create-a-notice/2.1.-create-a-source/add-extra-vendor.md) you don't create or configure it yourself, we manage it for you (name, logo, privacy policy URL, linked purposes, etc.)

On the **Extra Vendors page**, a dedicated section called *"List of global extra vendors"* lists every global extra vendors available, next to your own extra vendors.

You can click a row to see its details (name, logo & privacy policy URL).

When you [**create a** **source**](/configuration/step-2-create-a-notice/2.1.-create-a-source.md), you can select a global extra vendor just like any other extra vendor. Once selected, its associated purposes (IAB or global extra) are automatically linked to the source.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**

**Exception for Utiq**: Utiq is not selectable from the vendors list. To add it to a source, you must enable the *"Enable Utiq"* switch in the *Advanced Settings* section. The Utiq vendor and its purpose are then added to the source automatically.
{% endhint %}

## Global extra purposes

Alongside global extra vendors, we also provide **global extra purposes**. They are predefined and managed by SFBX. You cannot create, edit, or delete them.

You can see the full list of available global extra purposes on the **Extra Purposes page**, in a dedicated section called *"List of global extra purposes"*.&#x20;

As with vendors, you can click a row to see the details (the shortID and the purpose name & description in every available language), but everything is read-only.

A global extra purpose can be linked to a global extra vendor, but it can also exist on its own and be selected independently on a source.&#x20;

In the source creation form, when a global extra purpose is linked to a global extra vendor, it is automatically added to the source as soon as you select that vendor. When it is independent, you can select it manually like any other extra purpose.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**

**Exception for Utiq**: the Utiq purpose is tied to the Utiq vendor and follows the same rule. It is not selectable from the list, it is added automatically when the *"Enable Utiq"* switch is turned on in the *Advanced Settings* section of a source.
