Google Consent Mode

On the “Consent Mode” tab, you can enable Google Consent Mode v2 (GCM) and integrate with:

• Google tag (gtag.js)
• Google Tag Manager (GTM)

If you’re using Google tag, you can configure everything directly from the plugin’s settings page.

If you’re using Google Tag Manager, you can get our Google Tag Manager template via the Community Template Gallery (or import it manually by downloading the template.tpl file from the GitHub repository).

Integrating with Google Tag Manager

Selecting Google Tag Manager (GTM) template as the Implementation will show a panel containing step-by-step directions that will guide you through:

Configuring the Pressidium Cookie Consent tag

Important

You need to add at least one row under “Default consent states”. If you don’t want to set different consent states for different regions, you can add a single row and leave the “Regions” field blank.

1. Navigate to Google Tag Manager

2. Select your workspace

3. Navigate to the Tags tab

4. Select the previously created Cookie Consent tag

5. Under the Tag Configuration section, you can configure the following settings:

   • Default consent states
   • Ads data redaction
   • URL passthrough

   Under Default consent states, click Add Row to add a new row for each region. For each row, you can set the regions as a comma-separated list of ISO 3166-2 codes (leave blank to have your selection apply to all regions) and the default consent state for each consent type

   If two rows are set with values for a region and subregion, the one with a more specific region will take effect. For example, if you have ad_storage set to true for US, and ad_storage set to false for US-CA, a visitor from California will have the more specific US-CA setting take effect. For this example, that would mean a visitor from California would have ad_storage set to false.

   Region	Ad storage	Behavior
   US	true	Applies to all US states except California
   US-CA	false	Applies to California
   Unspecified	true	Applies to all other regions

6. Once you are done configuring the tag, click Submit to submit your changes
