Traffic from a > Google-certified CMP will continue to be eligible for personalized ads or non- > personalized ads (NPA). * The [Pressidium Cookie Consent](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressidium-cookie-consent/) WordPress plugin is **not** a Google-certified CMP. If you need to optimally serve ads to users in the European Economic Area or the UK, you might want to look for another cookie consent solution that is integrated with a Google-certified CMP. * > Yes, the ads show correctly when “Ads data redaction” is turned off. * When the “Ads data redaction” option is enabled, the plugin simply sets `ads_data_redaction` to `true`. * According to [Google for Developers docs](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent?consentmode=advanced#redact_ads_data), when `ads_data_redaction` is `true` and `ad_storage` is `denied`, ad click identifiers sent in network requests by Google Ads and Floodlight tags will be redacted. Network requests will also be sent through a cookieless domain. * Though, the `ads_data_redaction` parameter will have no effect when `ad_storage` is `granted`. * So, accepting the “Advertisement and Targeting” (`targeting`) cookies category— or just clicking “Accept all,” accepting all cookie categories—is going to set the `ad_storage` consent type to `granted`, so the `ads_data_redaction` should have no effect. * You could also use [Tag Assistant](https://tagassistant.google.com/) to debug your website, and confirm that both `ads_data_redaction` and `ad_storage` are being set correctly. * > What zones to add further? Currently, as you’re seeing, I’ve selected no zone > or country. I’m not using GTM, so tick on gtag option. * You don’t _have_ to set any regions. By default, the plugin is going to set all default consent states to `denied` for all regions. You only have to set a region( or multiple regions) to change that behavior. * > What to enter in **Functionality & preference cookies**? * “Preferences cookies” is a new cookies category, introduced in version `1.4.0`. You should use that category for any cookies that allow you to provide enhanced functionality and personalization by storing user preferences (e.g. video recommendations). * The “preferences” category gets mapped to the `personalization_storage` GCM consent type, which enables storage related to personalization. For more information about GCM consent types, refer to [https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/concepts/consent-mode#consent-types](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/concepts/consent-mode#consent-types). * The mapping between the plugin’s cookie categories and GCM consent types is the following: - **Necessary**: `functionality_storage` and `security_storage` - **Preferences**: `personalization_storage` - **Analytics**: `analytics_storage` - **Targeting**: `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, and `ad_personalization` * Thread Starter [ashishtiwari27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashishtiwari27/) * (@ashishtiwari27) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-1-4-plugin-settings/#post-17521667) * The Pressidium Cookie Consent ( [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressidium-cookie-consent/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pressidium-cookie-consent/)) WordPress plugin is *not* a Google-certified CMP. * How soon can I expect this plugin to be a Google-certified CMP? * Plugin Author [pressidium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pressidium/) * (@pressidium) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-1-4-plugin-settings/#post-17521679) * We currently have no plans to become a Google-certified CMP — at least not in the foreseeable future. * Thread Starter [ashishtiwari27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashishtiwari27/) * (@ashishtiwari27) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-1-4-plugin-settings/#post-17521713) * I’m using adsense. * Can I continue using this plugin without any glitches – I mean without any loss( ad revenue) or penalties imposed by Google. * You are already seeing the URL of the screenshot (mega.nz).

To ensure clarity and effective issue tracking, it’s preferred to create a new topic for each distinct concern.

Our support scope doesn’t include site-specific assistance. * That being said, here’s a brief overview of each cookie category to help you in categorizing your cookies: - **Necessary**: Cookies that are necessary for the website to function. - **Analytics**: Cookies that allow you to analyze visits and traffic sources. - **Targeting**: Cookies that may be set through your site by your social media providers and/or your advertising partners. - **Preferences**: Cookies that allow you to provide enhanced functionality and personalization by storing user preferences. * So, under the “Functionality & Preferences” cookies category, you should list any cookies that allow you to provide enhanced functionality and personalization by storing user preferences (e.g. video recommendations). * The “Functionality & Preferences” cookies category maps to the `personalization_storage` consent type of Google Consent Mode (GCM). Learn more about GCM’s “Consent types” at [https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/concepts/consent-mode](https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/concepts/consent-mode). * You could also take a look at [this semi-related topic about cookie categories](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-343/). * I’m going to mark this as resolved.
