Category: Google Consent Mode

Practical implementation of Google Consent Mode, from the seven signals through to the parameters most deployments forget. Consent Mode v2 requires ad_user_data and ad_personalization alongside ad_storage and analytics_storage; omitting the first two degrades remarketing audiences with no error and no warning, which is why so many sites believe they are on v2 while running v1 in practice. These articles cover wait_for_update, ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough, wiring Consent Mode to specific consent tools, verifying that the signals actually reach Google, and Google’s separate requirement for a certified CMP when serving ads to the EEA and UK.
