Consent Mode

Consent Mode that respects choices and keeps your data

Consent Mode tells Google tags what each visitor agreed to. Set up wrongly, you either break the rules or lose data you're entitled to. Most setups we see have at least one gap.

Problems we fix

Tags firing before consent

Ad and analytics tags loading before the banner has been answered.

Defaults in the wrong place

Consent defaults set after GTM loads, so the first hits ignore them.

Missing v2 signals

ad_user_data and ad_personalization never sent, limiting what Google Ads can use.

Non-Google tags ignored

Meta and other pixels firing regardless of the banner.

Banner and GTM out of step

The cookie tool and the container each doing half the job.

Nobody can prove it works

No test of what actually happens when someone says no.

What the work involves

  • Consent Mode v2 with Cookiebot, CookieYes and other banners
  • Consent defaults loaded in the right order
  • Consent checks on non-Google tags in GTM
  • Testing accept, reject and partial choices
  • Server-side consent handling

How it's priced

Most jobs are estimated in hours before we start. Small fixes are billed in 30-minute increments.

Everything is billed at the same £75 hourly rate, cheaper in blocks. No retainer, no contract, and everything is built in your own accounts. See pricing.

Consent Mode questions

Basic or advanced Consent Mode?

Basic blocks Google tags until consent; advanced lets them send limited, cookieless signals. Which is right depends on your legal advice and risk appetite. We'll set up either properly.

Is this legal advice?

No. We implement what you and your advisers decide, and make sure the technical setup does what it says.

Which cookie banners do you work with?

Cookiebot, CookieYes and most others that support Google Consent Mode.
