GA4 / GTM

Google Consent Mode v2

Keep measurement working while you enforce every choice.

In short
ConsentX has native Google Consent Mode v2 support with Google Tag Manager signal forwarding. Consent states (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) update the moment a visitor decides, so GA4 and Google Ads keep modeling conversions within the rules.

A strict banner without Consent Mode v2 tanks your analytics and ad measurement, and marketing wins the argument to loosen it. ConsentX wires Google Consent Mode v2 natively so you enforce every choice and keep modeled measurement, instead of trading one for the other.

Consent updates flow to gtag and GTM across all four v2 signals the moment a visitor decides.

The problem

Turn on a strict banner and your analytics and ad numbers fall off a cliff. Marketing pushes back, and compliance loses the argument.

With ConsentX

Consent Mode v2 keeps Google modeling conversions for users who decline, so you stay compliant and keep useful measurement. Compliance and marketing both win.

How it works

01

Enable Consent Mode

Turn on GCMv2 in the dashboard. Defaults start denied.

02

Forward signals

ConsentX pushes consent updates to gtag and GTM as the visitor chooses.

03

Measure compliantly

Google modeling fills gaps without setting cookies before consent.

A closer look

All four signals, default and update

ConsentX sets the Consent Mode defaults to denied before any tag runs, then sends update events for analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization the instant the visitor chooses. This is exactly the signal pattern Google requires for EEA and UK traffic to keep audiences and remarketing.

Because the defaults start denied and update on choice, Google can model conversions for users who decline, so your GA4 and Ads reporting stays useful without setting cookies before consent.

Works with your existing tag stack

ConsentX forwards consent state to both gtag and Google Tag Manager, so your current tags respond correctly without re-architecting. It runs alongside prior-script blocking, so non-Google tags are gated too.

Region rules decide where Consent Mode applies, so EEA and UK visitors get the strict signal flow while opt-out regimes are handled appropriately, all from one configuration.
