## FAQ

### Do I need to configure anything in GTM to enable consent mode?

Once your Consent Banner is deployed the Consent Mode will be provided and will 
work with Google Tags
 (GA4 and Google Ads) out-of-the-box. For other integrations
you need to review your GTM tags to ensure they have correct consent checks settings.
You can use Consent Overview screen to quickly review and update tags. [Read more here](https://docs.tagconcierge.com/article/59-how-to-configure-gtm-consent-mode)

### Is it compatible with direct GA4 or Google Ads integration?

Yes, both direct usage of Google Tags and Google Tag Manager are supported. The 
plugin sends standard Consent Mode v2 parameters that will be respected by those
tags.

### Is it compatible with Facebook Pixel?

It can be compatible if Facebook Pixel is implemented via Google Tag Manager and
correct consent settings are applied in GTM workspace. [Read more here](https://docs.tagconcierge.com/article/59-how-to-configure-gtm-consent-mode)

### How to inject GTM tracking snippet?

By default this plugin push consent information to the GTM DataLayer object that
can be installed by other plugins or directly in the theme code.
 It can also embed
GTM snippets, go to settings to configure it.

There are some php warning. Opened topic on forum about them. Css file is downloading
from another website. It is risky. What if that website is down. It should be local.
Due to above reasons, I will not use this.

As the other reviewers mentions there are styling issues. Considering this banner
is the first impression users will get on my website, styling is critical. Support
responses are very slow. It appears the developer is occupied on other things. This
is very disappointing because it makes me think I won’t get support for the developers
other plugin for Google Tag Manager which seems pretty robust. NOTE: The 5-star 
review is the developer, not a plugin user.

### 󠀁[it would have been better if…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-would-have-been-better-if/)󠁿

 [jeanbon75](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeanbon75/) September 23, 2024

Hello, I chose this plugin because it is presented as light and the performance 
of my site is important. But I changed my mind and uninstalled it for another plugin.
Clearly, it would have been better if: 1) the title of the box would not be in an
H2 tag: it breaks the html structure of my pages and it’s negative for my SEO. And
SEO is super important! 2) JS and CSS files would only be hosted on the site server
and not on the external server. 3) bonus: it would be possible to change the color
of the buttons, which are currently red. I could give it a higher rating if these
points were corrected! Thanks

Works great, is lightweight and does what its supposed to do. So many plugins nowadays
that get bloated with superficial features.Great job.
