To activate Google Consent Mode in Seers Consent Management Platform (CMP)
How to install Google Consent Mode?
You need a Google Analytics code to activate Google Consent Mode on your website. To enable this feature, simply follow these steps;
Step 1:
Find the Google Analytics code in the header on the website or get it from your Google Analytics account.
The Google Analytics code looks like this:
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-xxxxxxxx-x></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-xxxxxxxxx-x');
</script>
Step 2:
Insert Google Consent Mode code (below in bold) before your Google Analytics Code or script.
<!-- The initial config of Consent Mode -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
ad_storage: 'denied',
analytics_storage: 'denied',
wait_for_update: 500, 11});
gtag('set', 'ads_data_redaction', true);
</script>
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-xxxxxxxx-x></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-xxxxxxxxx-x');
</script>
Step 3:
Now, insert the Seers' CMP code after the Google Consent Code and before the Google Analytics code.
Note: To activate Google Consent Mode, you must have Seers’ CMP code installed on your website. Which will look like the code below:
<script data-key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" data-name="CookieXray" src="https://seersco.com/script/cb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Step 4:
After adding Seers' CMP code, your actual code should look like this.
<!-- The initial config of Consent Mode -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
ad_storage: 'denied',
analytics_storage: 'denied',
wait_for_update: 500, 11});
gtag('set', 'ads_data_redaction', true);
</script>
<script data-key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" data-name="CookieXray" src="https://seersco.com/script/cb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-xxxxxxxx-x></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-xxxxxxxxx-x');
</script>
- Google Consent Mode is an optional feature and should be enabled in settings too. Go to your Dashboard > Preferences tab > Enable Google Consent Mode.
- Remember to enable the toggle button to “OK” to activate Google Consent Mode in the “settings” panel of the Seers CMP.
- Also, you must update the Google Analytics code, as described in Step 2.
