Frequently Asked Questions

What is Google Consent Mode?

Google Consent Mode is an API that allows website owners to manage user consent preferences for analytics and advertising cookies while ensuring that websites still receive critical information for ad measurement even without using cookies.

What's new in Google Consent Mode V2?

Compared to the first version, version 2 of Google Consent Mode allows for even more precise control over user behavior regarding consent to different types of cookies and offers improved features for data protection compliance.

How does Google Consent Mode work?

The Consent Mode manages consent signals for user consent or rejection of cookies used for analysis or advertising purposes. These signals are then passed on to Google services such as Google Analytics and Google Ads to control data collection and advertising behavior accordingly.

How do I integrate Google Consent Mode V2 on my website?

You can integrate Google Consent Mode V2 on your website by implementing the corresponding JavaScript code into your pages. Detailed instructions for this can be found in the Google developer documentation or through service providers who specialize in data protection compliance.

Do I need additional plugins or tools to use Google Consent Mode V2?

No, additional plugins or tools are not required for the basic integration of Consent Mode. However, Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) can simplify and automate the process of obtaining and managing user consents.

Can Google Consent Mode be used with tracking tools other than Google Analytics or Google Ads?

Yes, Consent Mode can be configured to be compatible with third-party tracking tools, provided these tools can respect and process the appropriate consent signals.

What happens if a user refuses consent to cookies?

If a user refuses consent to cookies, the Consent Mode adjusts data processing and user tracking to respect the user's privacy. In this case, personal data is usually not collected.
