Google Tag Manager consent integration

If you mean Google Tag Manager (GTM) consent integration, the typical setup is to connect GTM with a Consent Management Platform (CMP) or use Google Consent Mode so tags only fire according to the user’s consent choices.
Common setup options
1. Use Google Consent Mode
This lets Google tags adjust behavior based on consent signals like:
analytics_storagead_storagead_user_dataad_personalization
You usually:
- Set default consent to denied.
- Update consent after the user accepts or rejects cookies.
- Let GTM/Google tags read those settings.
2. Use a CMP with GTM
Many CMPs can push consent states into GTM, for example:
- Cookiebot
- OneTrust
- iubenda
- Complianz
They typically:
- Show a banner
- Store the user’s choice
- Fire a
dataLayerevent or set consent viagtag('consent', ...)
Basic implementation idea
Default consent before tags load
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
ad_storage: 'denied',
analytics_storage: 'denied',
ad_user_data: 'denied',
ad_personalization: 'denied'
});
</script>
Update consent when user accepts
<script>
gtag('consent', 'update', {
ad_storage: 'granted',
analytics_storage: 'granted',
ad_user_data: 'granted',
ad_personalization: 'granted'
});
</script>
In GTM
You can configure:
- Consent Overview to see which tags require consent
- Tag-level consent checks
- Consent Initialization trigger for consent defaults
Best practice
- Set consent defaults before any tags fire
- Use Consent Initialization for default settings
- Only update consent after a clear user action
- Test in GTM Preview and Google Tag Assistant
If you want, I can give you:
- a step-by-step GTM setup,
- a Cookiebot/OneTrust integration example, or
- a custom HTML + dataLayer implementation.
