CMP · Consent Mode v2 · GDPR

Consent that keeps you legal and keeps your data.

Most cookie banners are either not compliant or quietly strangling your tracking. Usually both. We rebuild the consent layer so you meet UK and EU rules and your advertising still gets the data it needs to work.

Your site fires tracking before anyone clicks accept

Whichever it is, the fix is the same: rebuild consent so it holds up legally and your marketing keeps working.

Compliance is infrastructure, not a banner.

A cookie banner is the visible five percent. What matters is what happens to your tags, your signals and your records underneath it. Every setup runs on four principles.

01

Nothing fires before permission

Every script on your site is found, categorised and held back until the visitor actually agrees. In plain terms, nothing tracks anyone who has not said yes (cookie scan, consent-gated tag firing).

02

Keep the data you are allowed to keep

Blocking tags outright throws away data you are legally entitled to. Consent Mode v2 tells Google and Meta what was agreed, so the gaps get modelled instead of lost and your campaigns can still optimise.

03

Built to survive a complaint

No pre-ticked boxes, no cookie walls, rejecting as easy as accepting, and a preference centre that genuinely works. Aligned to ICO and ePrivacy guidance, so if anyone ever asks, the answer is documented.

04

Written down, not just installed

Consent records, a privacy policy that matches what your site actually does, and a lawful basis for each marketing use. The technical layer is half of it, the paperwork is the other half.

Compliant, documented, and still measurable.

  • Full cookie and script scan of your site
  • Consent Management Platform selected and configured
  • Banner and preference centre built to ICO standards
  • Every tag gated to the right consent category
  • Google Consent Mode v2 implemented and verified
  • Meta Pixel and CAPI aligned to consent state
  • Privacy and cookie policy reviewed against reality
  • Handover so your team knows what was done and why
The technical detail

In plain terms: nothing tracks a visitor until they agree, and once they do, the right platforms hear about it. For the people who check: CMP implementation (Cookiebot, Consentmo, Usercentrics), all four Consent Mode v2 signals wired correctly (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization), GTM trigger logic bound to consent state, Meta Data Use Settings aligned for EU traffic, and CAPI as a consent-resilient fallback.

Verified with Tag Assistant and GA4 DebugView before sign-off, so you can watch the gating work rather than take it on trust. Works with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress and custom builds.

Real setups. Live and linkable.

Click through, every one is a real site. Not a template gallery.

Verdant Living consent and tracking rebuild by AdKonnekt
Consent Rebuild · Shopify · GA4

Verdant Living

A British plant nursery on Shopify whose consent setup and tracking had drifted apart, so nobody trusted the numbers. Consent was rebuilt alongside server-side events and deduplication, which meant the data came back both compliant and complete rather than one at the expense of the other.

Zonal Audio consent and tracking foundation by AdKonnekt
Compliance From Day One · WooCommerce · CAPI

Zonal Audio

A techno and house sample label selling packs, templates and presets. The tracking foundation was built from scratch, with GDPR and consent handled as part of the build rather than bolted on afterwards, so GA4, Meta CAPI and Google Ads all fire against a consent state that was correct from launch.

Consent sits directly on top of your tracking. If both need work it is usually cheaper to scope them together, see Tracking & Analytics.

Common Questions

Usually not. Most banners we audit fire tracking scripts before anyone clicks accept, or use pre-ticked boxes, or never pass consent signals to the ad platforms at all. A banner that looks right and behaves wrongly is still a compliance risk, and it is often costing you data at the same time.
Set up correctly with Consent Mode v2, no. Google and Meta model the gaps where consent was not given, so you keep usable conversion data. The bigger risk is not having it: incomplete reporting, campaigns optimising on partial data, and ad accounts getting flagged.
It is a way for your site to tell Google and Meta what each visitor agreed to, instead of just silently blocking their tags. The platforms then fill in the gaps statistically. Without it your reporting undercounts and your campaigns optimise on a partial picture. Since 2024 Google has required it for advertisers serving the EU.
No. AdKonnekt is a technical marketing partner, not a law firm. We implement the technical compliance layer, document what was done, and flag anything that needs a solicitor to review. For specific legal obligations under GDPR we recommend taking proper legal advice.
A foundation setup on a single site is usually one to two weeks. A full audit and repair on an established site running paid ads is typically two to four weeks, depending on how many third-party scripts are involved and how quickly access is granted.
Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress and custom builds, with Cookiebot, Consentmo and Usercentrics as the CMPs we implement most often. If you already hold a CMP licence we will work with it rather than move you, unless it genuinely cannot do what you need.
