Google Consent Mode Checker
Check if the Google Consent Mode V2 is set up correctly on your website.
This tool will scan the specified URL to obtain your GCM status.
How it works?
When you initiate a scan, the tool opens the web page in a simulated Chrome browser and runs a JavaScript function to check a specific variable that Google Tag Manager uses to store data. We pull the required information from this variable to understand how you’ve implemented Google Consent Mode on the page and identify any errors in your configuration.
Using this tool from CookieYes CMP, you can ensure an error-free implementation of Google Consent Mode on your site.
Frequently asked questions
Google Consent Mode V2 allows websites to share users’ consent choices with Google services like Analytics and Ads. Based on these signals, Google tags adjust how data is collected, helping websites measure performance while respecting user consent.
From March 2024, Google requires Consent Mode V2 for websites using Google Ads or Analytics in the EEA and UK. This ensures user consent is collected and communicated correctly in line with privacy regulations and Google’s advertising policies.
Even small setup errors can cause Google tags to fire incorrectly or ignore user consent. Verifying your configuration helps ensure consent signals are passed accurately and your tracking works as intended.
If your website is not compliant, Google Ads conversion tracking, remarketing, and audience features may stop working or become limited. You may also face data gaps and increased privacy compliance risks.
You can implement Google Consent Mode using a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that supports Consent Mode V2. The CMP collects user consent and automatically sends the correct consent signals to Google tags based on user choices.
