Google Consent Mode

Hi there,

Google Consent Mode seems to be a major bummer for many users. Nobody needs it, nobody wants it, and it does not help anybody. Google and privacy, that’s a joke, isn’t it? Having said this, for you it’s probably a booster in terms of paying customers, since we need the premium version of the plugin. Don’t get me wrong, I give you every cent, and I appreciate your good work. However, for us or our visitors nothing will really change.

Our major concern is that it will cause a lot of trouble while implementing it. This is why I have a few questions first.

We use a GTM plugin to load more information in the data layer. We let Complianz fire the GTM tracking code like this:

add_action('wp_footer', 'complianz_gtm');
function complianz_gtm()
{
?>
<script type="text/plain" data-category="statistics">
(function(w,d,s,l,i) {w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-xxxxx');
</script>
<?php
}

Can we keep the code like this?

The GTM plugin has a Google Consent checkbox. I don’t understand a single word of it. It says:

Enable this checkbox if you wish to execute the “default” command of Google Consent Mode before the container loads. The “update” command needs to be executed from your consent management tool. DO NOT enable this feature if your consent manager tool supports firing both the “default” and the “update” command.

Are any complex configurations needed in Complianz, or is it just clicking a checkbox? Right now we are a running the most important campaign of the year in our shop. The least we need is any trouble with the GTM.
