  • 🔗 Consent Mode serves as a link between cookie banners on a website and Google services, ensuring that the behavior of Google tags is adapted to the user's consent.
  • 🚫 Consent Mode does not replace the cookie banner; instead, it works in conjunction with it to manage user consent for Google services.

  • What happens if a website does not implement the Google consent mode by March 6th, 2024?

    -If a website does not implement the Google consent mode by the deadline, certain functionalities related to Google Analytics 4, Google Ads Conversion Tracking, and Remarketing campaigns will cease to function, leading to potential restrictions in online advertising and analytics capabilities.

  • How does the Google consent mode work in conjunction with cookie banners?

  • What are the two main modes of implementing the Google consent mode?

    -The two main modes of implementing the Google consent mode are the Basic Mode and the Advanced Mode. The Basic Mode ensures that everything functions as before, with the additional step of forwarding consent decisions to Google through the consent mode.

  • What are the legal concerns surrounding the Advanced Mode of the Google consent mode?

    -The Advanced Mode of the Google consent mode is potentially legally controversial because it sends certain anonymized data to Google servers even if the user does not consent to tracking. This practice might not align with data protection laws, and it is advisable to consult with a legal expert before implementing this mode.

  • Why is Google requiring the implementation of the Google consent mode starting from March 6th, 2024?

  • What should website owners do to prepare for the implementation of the Google consent mode?

    -Website owners should familiarize themselves with the Google consent mode, understand the differences between the Basic and Advanced Modes, and decide which mode aligns with their legal and operational requirements. They should also ensure that their cookie banner solutions are updated and compatible with the Google consent mode for seamless integration.
