In this article, we will walk through each step of setting up Google Consent Mode in Tag Manager while configuring the Magento 2 Cookie Consent extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GTM Consent mode <\/a>is a new feature presented by Google that helps manage how tags behave based on the consent status of your users in a more flexible way. This feature is replacing the deprecated “Associated Cookie Category” mode, allowing you to control each individual tag firing in GTM, instead of enabling\/disabling the entire GTM when a visitor allows\/denies the corresponding (associated) cookie category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please take the following steps to properly configure the GTM Consent Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
