Documentation

Banner UI

This plugin relies on open-source, lightweight Consent Banner UI available on GitHub:

tagconcierge/consent-banner-js

Do I need to configure anything in GTM to enable consent mode?

Once your Consent Banner is deployed the Consent Mode will be provided and will work with Google Tags
(GA4 and Google Ads) out-of-the-box. For other integrations you need to review your GTM tags to ensure they have correct consent checks settings.
You can use Consent Overview screen to quickly review and update tags. Read more here

Is it compatible with direct GA4 or Google Ads integration?

Yes, both direct usage of Google Tags and Google Tag Manager are supported. The plugin sends standard Consent Mode v2 parameters that will be respected by those tags.

Is it compatible with Facebook Pixel?

It can be compatible if Facebook Pixel is implemented via Google Tag Manager and correct consent settings are applied in GTM workspace. Read more here

How to inject GTM tracking snippet?

By default this plugin push consent information to the GTM DataLayer object that can be installed by other plugins or directly in the theme code.
It can also embed GTM snippets, go to settings to configure it.

it would have been better if...

Hello,

I chose this plugin because it is presented as light and the performance of my site is important. But I changed my mind and uninstalled it for another plugin. Clearly, it would have been better if:

1) the title of the box would not be in an H2 tag: it breaks the html structure of my pages and it's negative for my SEO. And SEO is super important!

2) JS and CSS files would only be hosted on the site server and not on the external server.

3) bonus: it would be possible to change the color of the buttons, which are currently red.

I could give it a higher rating if these points were corrected!

Thanks

Lightweight, functional and great support

Works great, is lightweight and does what its supposed to do. So many plugins nowadays that get bloated with superficial features.

Great job.
