Google Consent Mode

Not Detected

Google Consent Mode v2 was not found on this page. GCM v2 allows Google's tags to adjust their behavior based on user consent, and is required for compliant advertising measurement in the EU. Without it, your Google Ads and GA4 conversions may be impacted after consent is declined.

GTM container detected (GTM-5MKXR9) but no consent mode initialisation found. Add gtag('consent', 'default', ...) before your GTM snippet.
