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-NLJ258M) but no consent mode initialisation found. Add gtag('consent', 'default', ...) before your GTM snippet.

Google Consent Mode was not detected on this site.

Consent Record Audit

Issues detected

Consent record stored after interaction

GDPR Art. 7(1)

No consent record written — cannot prove consent was given

No CMP consent cookie or localStorage entry was found after the consent interaction. GDPR requires controllers to demonstrate consent was given.

Consent withdrawal mechanism accessible

GDPR Art. 7(3)

No way for users to withdraw consent found on page

No cookie settings link, footer link, or floating consent button was detected. GDPR requires users to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.

Why this matters

Under GDPR Article 7, controllers must be able to demonstrate that consent was given (Art. 7(1)) and ensure users can withdraw consent at any time, as easily as giving it (Art. 7(3)). Sites with no consent record or no withdrawal mechanism cannot legally rely on consent as a lawful basis.
