<h4>Google Consent Mode v2 Signals</h4>
<p>The plugin manages all required consent signals:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>ad_storage</code></li>
<li><code>ad_user_data</code></li>
<li><code>ad_personalization</code></li>
<li><code>analytics_storage</code></li>
<li><code>functionality_storage</code></li>
<li><code>personalization_storage</code></li>
<li><code>security_storage</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Consent Categories</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Necessary</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <code>security_storage</code></li>
<li><strong>Functionality</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <code>functionality_storage</code>, <code>personalization_storage</code>, <code>security_storage</code></li>
<li><strong>Analytics</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <code>analytics_storage</code>, <code>security_storage</code></li>
<li><strong>Marketing</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> <code>ad_storage</code>, <code>ad_user_data</code>, <code>ad_personalization</code>, <code>personalization_storage</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Multilingual Support</h4>
<p>Works out of the box with WPML, Polylang and WordPress locale. You can also set per-language privacy policy URLs so visitors always see the privacy page in their own language.</p>
<h4>Performance Mode</h4>
<p>Enable lazy loading to load the cookie banner only after the first user interaction (scroll, click, mouse move or touch). Since Google PageSpeed Insights does not simulate interactions, the banner will not appear in the performance audit — significantly improving your Core Web Vitals score.</p>

<p>English, Greek, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services provided by Google when the site administrator configures a Google Tag Manager (GTM) Container ID or a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Measurement ID in the plugin settings.</p>
<h4>Google Tag Manager (GTM)</h4>
<p>When a GTM Container ID is entered in the plugin settings, the plugin loads the Google Tag Manager JavaScript snippet from Google’s servers. This happens on every front-end page load.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> Loads the GTM container script so that tags configured inside GTM (analytics, advertising, etc.) can fire according to consent status.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent:</strong> The GTM Container ID and standard browser information (IP address, user agent, page URL, referrer) are sent to Google’s servers when the script is loaded. Additional data may be collected depending on the tags configured within GTM by the site administrator.</li>
<li><strong>When it is sent:</strong> On every front-end page load, after the consent defaults have been set.</li>
<li><strong>Service provider:</strong> Google LLC</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/</a></li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://policies.google.com/privacy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via gtag.js</h4>
<p>When a GA4 Measurement ID is entered and no GTM Container ID is configured, the plugin loads the Google Analytics gtag.js script from Google’s servers.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> Loads the GA4 measurement script to collect website analytics data (page views, events, etc.) according to consent status.</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent:</strong> The GA4 Measurement ID and standard browser information (IP address, user agent, page URL, referrer) are sent to Google’s servers. Analytics data (page views, session data, events) is only collected according to the visitor’s consent choices.</li>
<li><strong>When it is sent:</strong> On every front-end page load, after the consent defaults have been set. Actual analytics data collection depends on user consent.</li>
<li><strong>Service provider:</strong> Google LLC</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service:</strong> <a href="https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/</a></li>
<li><strong>Privacy Policy:</strong> <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://policies.google.com/privacy</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> No data is sent to any external service by this plugin unless the site administrator explicitly configures a GTM Container ID or GA4 Measurement ID. The cookie consent preferences are stored locally in the visitor’s browser and are not transmitted to any external server.</p>

<h3>Advantage over alternative solutions</h3>
<h3>Only one plugin needed</h3>
<p>Without a GTM plugin, you would need a separate plugin for each of those integrations. Each plugin can track events differently. They can cause conflicts and slow-down on the front-end</p>
<p>With a dedicated GTM plugin, all data is sent in standardized Google format to Google Tag Manager which forwards events to multiple destination services.</p>
<h3>Reporting consistency</h3>
<p>A common problem when trying to use other GTM and Google Analytics plugins is that data can be sent twice corrupting analytics reporting. Using DataLayer is a standard way to ensure your tracking information stays consistent across all connected tools.</p>
<h3>Google Consent Mode v2</h3>
<p>Using GTM and dataLayer allows to build more complex scenarios, such as only processing the data after obtaining user consent. Other plugin directly pipe events into target system no matter if required permission was given or not.</p>
