The Problem

Consent Set Up Wrong Hides Conversions Without an Error.

What does a consent mode V2 setup include?

BlazeByte sets up Google consent mode V2 for sites running Google Ads or GA4 with visitors in the EEA. Consent mode V2 passes each visitor's cookie choice to Google tags, so they collect only what was allowed. Version 2 adds two advertising signals, ad_user_data and ad_personalization, which Google requires for EEA visitors. Without these signals, Google Ads loses measurement, remarketing and ad personalization for those visitors. BlazeByte verifies the setup by testing accept, decline and change of mind on two pages in Tag Assistant.

Consent That Holds · What We Build

The visitor's choice reaches every tag, on every page

Visitor accepts on the banner
↓
Consent states update to granted
↓
Still granted on page two and at checkout
The Fault We Find in Audits

The choice is lost after the first page

Visitor accepts on the banner
↓
Next page resets consent to denied
↓
Ecommerce tags blocked for the whole journey

We found exactly this in a client audit: the consent state reset to denied on every page after the first, so GA4 ecommerce tags were blocked even for visitors who had accepted. Nothing errored. The numbers were simply lower.

Tracking looks great, thank you Haider! Really thorough build.

What Is Included

Consent Mode V2, Set Up and Proven to Work

You are buying consent states that hold on every page. You are not buying a banner.

Your banner connected to consent mode. Your consent platform or custom banner passes every choice to Google, with the update sent the moment a visitor chooses.
All four consent signals set. ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization, each with a default state set before any tag sends data.
Defaults by region. Denied by default where your legal team requires it, such as for visitors from the European Economic Area.
Every tag checked for consent. Google tags use their built-in consent checks; other tags in Google Tag Manager get consent settings of their own.
Tested on two pages, not one. Accept, decline and change your mind, with the states read in Tag Assistant on each page and a test Conversion sent.
A written handover. What was set, which version you chose and why, and how to check it again after a site or banner change.
How We Work

We Test What Consent Does Today. Then We Make It Hold.

We never install consent mode blind. Every setup starts by recording what your consent states actually do.

01

Consent Audit

We record what your consent setup does today

We load your site with the banner untouched, accept, decline and move between pages, and record every consent state and every tag that fires.

What this step includes
  • Consent states read in Tag Assistant on several pages
  • Tags that fire before or without consent
  • A written list of what holds, what resets and what is missing
02

Basic or Advanced

You choose, with your legal team

We explain what each version sends when a visitor declines, so your legal team can decide which one is acceptable in your markets.

What this step includes
  • A plain comparison of basic and advanced for your site
  • Region defaults to match your legal advice
  • No legal advice from us: the decision is yours
03

Implementation

We set the defaults, updates and tag checks

We add the default command before any tag sends data, connect the banner update, and set consent checks on every tag in your container.

What this step includes
  • Default states for all four signals, by region if needed
  • Banner update wired through gtag.js or Google Tag Manager
  • Consent settings on Google and third-party tags
04

Testing and Handover

We prove it works before we leave

We test accept, decline and change of mind across pages, send a test Conversion, and check the status in Google Ads.

What this step includes
  • Two-page consent test, accept and decline sessions
  • Test Conversion confirmed in GA4 and Google Ads
  • Written handover and re-test steps

Is This For You

Built for Sites That Rely on Google Measurement. Here Is Who Specifically.

We will tell you if you do not need this yet. Consent mode earns its place in specific situations.

Built for you if
  • You get visitors from the European Economic Area and use Google Ads or GA4.
  • You run remarketing or ad personalization in Google Ads.
  • You have a cookie banner but no consent mode, or nobody has tested it.
  • Your conversions dropped after a banner or consent change.
WHO IT IS FOR
Probably not yet if
  • You do not use Google Analytics or Google Ads tags.
  • Your legal team has not decided what consent your markets need.

We set up consent mode V2 with Google-certified consent platforms and custom banners, through gtag.js or Google Tag Manager, as an add-on to a tracking package or on its own.

Questions About Consent Mode V2 Setup

Setting it up on your site
Do you set up consent mode V2 with my existing cookie banner?

Yes. We connect consent mode to the banner you already use, whether it is a Google-certified consent platform or a custom banner. We set the default states, wire the update when a visitor chooses, and test that the choice holds on every page, using the default states Google documents. If you have no banner yet, the Starter setup installs and configures a consent platform such as Cookiebot, CookieYes or Complianz.

Do you work with Google Tag Manager or gtag.js?

Both. We set the defaults and updates through Google Tag Manager or directly in gtag.js, whichever your site uses. In Tag Manager, Google tags keep their built-in consent checks and every other tag gets consent settings of its own.

Will you set up basic or advanced consent mode?

We recommend a version with the reason, and set up the one your legal team approves. Basic blocks Google tags until a visitor chooses; advanced loads them with consent denied and sends cookieless pings. We explain what each one sends on your site so the decision is informed, and our guide covers advanced vs basic in full.

Your data after consent
How do you test that consent mode V2 is working?

We test it on two pages, not one. We read the consent states in Tag Assistant before and after accepting, decline in a fresh session, and send a test Conversion to confirm it reaches GA4 and Google Ads. We also check the consent status Google Ads reports for the account.

Will consent mode reduce the conversions I see?

Visitors who decline are not observed, whichever version you use. Modeling can estimate some of those conversions, but nothing recovers them as observed data. We compare your platform conversions with your own orders or leads, so you know how much of a gap is consent and how much is a tracking fault.

What if my consent state resets between pages?

We find where the state is lost, fix it, and re-test the whole journey to checkout. In one client audit the consent state reset to denied on every page after the first, blocking GA4 ecommerce tags even for visitors who had accepted. A reset fails silently: nothing errors, and the numbers are simply lower.

Working with us
Can you add consent mode to a tracking package I already have?

Yes. Consent mode V2 is an add-on from $299 to Google Ads Conversion Tracking, Conversion Tracking, Meta Pixel and CAPI, or GA4 and GTM Starter. GA4 and GTM Growth and Scale already include it. Adding it during a build means consent is tested together with every tag.

Do you give legal advice on consent?

No. We implement the consent rules your legal team decides, and we explain what each setting sends so they can decide. Which consent you need depends on your markets and your privacy law. A free tracking audit shows what your current setup does today.
