What this means for you:

Google Consent Mode v2 ensures that:

— Without your consent, Google Analytics and Google Ads do not collect identifiable data about you.

— In denied consent mode, Google only receives aggregated and anonymous signals (without personal data) for statistical modelling, in compliance with GDPR.

— With your consent, Google tools fully function to measure website and campaign performance.

Implemented parameters:

Parameter Without Consent With Consent
analytics_storage denied granted
ad_storage denied granted
ad_user_data denied granted
ad_personalization denied granted

This implementation ensures compliance with GDPR and Google's consent policies for the European market in 2024/2026.
