Everything you need to know about google consent mode.
It’s Google’s system for adjusting what Google Ads and Google Analytics collect, based on the consent choice a visitor actually makes. Instead of an all-or-nothing block, Google’s tags read the visitor’s choice and adjust accordingly.
Google requires Consent Mode signals from advertisers running personalized ads or remarketing to visitors in the EEA and UK. Outside that scope, it’s not a legal requirement, but any site sending Google Ads or Analytics data benefits from more accurate measurement once it’s in place.
