What We Check

  • Google Consent Mode V2 detection
  • Default consent state verification (denied by default)
  • ad_storage and analytics_storage settings
  • ad_user_data and ad_personalization (V2 params)
  • Consent banner presence detection
  • Cookie scan (what cookies are set before consent)
  • Third-party script loading behavior
  • Behavioral modeling eligibility check

Common Issues We Find

  • Consent mode not implemented at all
  • Tags firing before consent banner appears
  • Consent defaults set to "granted" (should be "denied")
  • Missing ad_user_data and ad_personalization (V2 requirements)
  • Consent state not persisting across pages

Why This Matters

Non-compliance with GDPR can result in fines up to 4% of global revenue. Google Ads now requires Consent Mode V2 for EEA advertisers to maintain remarketing audiences and conversion modeling.
