The essentials

Why Consent Mode matters

In the European Union, analytics and advertising cookies can only be used with the visitor's consent. Google's Consent Mode v2 passes that choice to Analytics and Google Ads through four signals, and Google requires it to use European users' data in ads.

We set up the banner and Consent Mode so you comply with GDPR without losing more measurement than you need to.

FAQ

Before we talk

Does Consent Mode replace the cookie banner?

No. The banner collects the visitor's choice; Consent Mode passes that choice on to Google's tools.

Will I lose data?

People who reject cookies aren't measured in the same way. Consent Mode lets Google model some of those conversions.

What's the difference between basic and advanced mode?

In basic mode, Google tags only load after consent. In advanced mode, they send cookieless signals before the choice, which allows fuller modelling.

Do you write the cookie policy too?

We help list the cookies in use. The legal text should be reviewed by whoever handles legal matters.
