What is Consent Mode v2?
Consent Mode v2 is an innovative feature by Google that allows your website to collect data in a privacy-friendly manner, even when visitors refuse certain cookies. It helps you comply with privacy regulations such as the GDPR and simultaneously provides insights into important website performance. With Consent Mode v2, you can better align analytics and advertising with the consent your visitors provide.
How does Consent Mode v2 work?
Consent Mode v2 works by adjusting the behavior of cookies and tags on your website based on the consent given by a user. This means you have control over which data is collected and how it is processed.
The main principles:
- Flexible consents: Consent Mode v2 detects whether a user has given permission for cookies to be placed. Depending on this choice, the cookies are adjusted.
- No-consent mode: When a user refuses cookies, data is anonymized and only aggregated data is collected, thus ensuring privacy.
- Interaction with Google tools: Consent Mode v2 works seamlessly with tools like Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Tag Manager.
Why is Consent Mode v2 important?
Consent Mode v2 offers a balance between privacy and data insights, which is essential in today's digital world. The main benefits:
- Privacy-friendly data: You comply with the GDPR by collecting only data for which consent has been given.
- Better data insights: Even without explicit consent, you can collect anonymized data, giving you an idea of your website's performance.
- Optimization of ads: Consent Mode v2 helps manage advertising campaigns more effectively, even with limited data access.
- Visitor trust: By being transparent about your data collection, you strengthen your users' trust.
How Consent Mode v2 works with cookie consents
Consent Mode v2 adjusts the way tags function based on the consents visitors give. For example:
- With consent: If a user accepts cookies, all data is collected and processed normally.
- Without consent: Tags collect only anonymized data, such as aggregated conversions, without tracking individual users.
This approach allows features such as conversion measurement and remarketing to continue working without compromising the privacy of your visitors.
