How should I handle multiple signals with different information?

Sometimes two or more TC Strings might contain different preferences for different vendors. For example, one String includes consent signals for vendors 1, 2, and 3. Later, the user is asked for consent on vendors 3, 4, and 5, but rejects all three. In this example, the most recent signal received for vendor 3 is that of no consent and should be recorded as such despite previous signals. However, we cannot anticipate and provide guidance for all scenarios. Vendors should update the TC String, where applicable, with details that reflect the intent of the user and meets the requirements of the TCF.
