Hi @maxidavis,
Greetings from CookieYes!
Please make sure that you have followed this documentation, which is exclusively for the plugin users to integrate Google consent mode. Also, please share your site URL so that we can check for any issues in the implementation on your site and provide you with a working solution.
Hi @cookieyesteam,
yes, I followed your documentation and everything works fine now. But I had to configure it in a different way.
Can you please answer to my questions:
- The custom code is for the default status, correct? The GTM then loads the “Onpage load” status, right?
- They don’t need to be the same I guess. But what do I need to set up, for the “advanced consent”?
- When I activate the “Allow Google tags to fire before consent” under the “Advanced Settings”. How does this affect the status? Does it override the tag manager?
- With the GTM setup in your documentation, can a user only decline “analytics” for example? Or do you have another documentation for this? Right now, it’s accept all or decline all.
Thanks, Max
Hi @maxidavis,
The custom code is used to set the default consent status until the cookie banner loads on your site. Consent will get updated to the default setting in your banner once the banner loads on your site.
When you enable the option, “Allow Google tags to fire before consent” GTM and the related scripts will get unblocked on your site. Tags will get fired by default but the cookies will get set only after the user’s consent.
Hi @cookieyesteam,
okay, thanks for the answer.
- So the “Allow Google tags to fire before consent” doesn’t set anything to “granted”?
- With the GTM setup in your documentation, can a user only decline “analytics” for example? Or do you have another documentation for this? Right now, it’s accept all or decline all.
Hi @maxidavis,
Enabling the “Allow Google tags to fire before consent” option won’t set the consent to “granted” but only unblocks GTM and the related scripts from your site.
You can set the consent types to either “denied” or “granted” as per your requirement. While setting it to “granted” consider seeking legal advice to ensure you’re meeting your obligations under GDPR and other relevant regulations.
Hi @cookieyesteam,
okay, do you have a documentation for this? Right now, it only accepts all or declines everthying.
Hi @maxidavis,
“Right now, it only accepts all or declines everthying.” Could you please provide additional details or clarify your query?
Enabling the Support GCM option will only allow a basic implementation, that is, to fire the allowed/preferred tags based on user consent. If the user rejects the banner, some data is to be collected as per the advanced consent mode implementation, for this, “Allow Google Tags to fire before Consent” should be enabled.
Hence, enabling both ‘Support GCM’ and ‘Allow Google Tags To Fire Before Consent’, will ensure that Google tags fire even if the user rejects the banner. However, this is associated with cookieless pings, and only collects the information required for behavioural and conversion modeling to fill the gaps in your data. For your information, even with the option “Allow Google tags to fire before consent” enabled, Google Analytics (GA) may not be able to track real-time data.
It’s important to note that while Google may collect some data even if consent is rejected, this data won’t be included in analytics reports and is primarily used for behaviour modelling as said earlier. GA will only activate tracking when users explicitly accept the cookies associated with the Analytics service.
Kindly refer to this documentation for more insights.
Hi @cookieyesteam,
in the meantime I was able to figure it out. You need to activate the additonal setups in the Google Tag Manger Settings. With this, I was able to configure the behavior of each individuell consent and at what conditions a specific tag can be fired.
In this google documentation you can find more insights: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/10718549?hl=de
