Service · GDPR, Consent & Policy Support

Privacy-safe tracking without killing performance.

We design and implement GDPR-compliant consent flows that still let you run effective campaigns on GA4, Google Ads and Meta in 2025.

That means a proper consent banner, Consent Mode v2, Meta Pixel + CAPI gated correctly, and policy documents that match what actually happens on your site.

Why GDPR & consent is a business risk now

This isn’t “legal admin”. It affects risk exposure, data quality, and ad performance — here are the six reasons you should care.

Reason 1

Fines are not hypothetical anymore

GDPR fines can reach €20m or 4% of global annual turnover. An invalid banner, unlawful tracking, or missing consent records is enough — you don’t need a breach.

Reason 2

DSARs are rising — and expose weak setups

Users can request what you hold, why you process it, who you share it with, and deletion/correction. You have 30 days. Most brands have no documented process — that’s a compliance failure.

2/6
Reason 3

Your vendors don’t protect you — you’re still liable

Using Google, Meta, Shopify, Mailchimp, HubSpot etc. doesn’t transfer responsibility. You’re accountable for lawful basis, correct consent signals, disclosures, and configuration.

3/6
Reason 4

Google Ads now throttle performance without valid consent

Without GDPR-compliant consent signals and Consent Mode v2, Google disables conversion tracking, remarketing, and modelling in the EU — directly degrading campaign performance.

4/6
Reason 5

Audits are no longer manual — they’re automated

Regulators and privacy groups use crawlers to check cookies firing before consent, CMP misconfig, Consent Mode mismatches, pixel behaviour vs banner claims, and policy inconsistencies.

5/6
Reason 6

Trust and conversion are now linked

Poor consent UX reduces opt-ins, increases bounce, and undermines credibility. Well-implemented consent improves opt-in quality, protects signal reliability, and supports modelling instead of blocking it.

How we fix consent without killing performance

A guided rollout that upgrades your stack, prevents data leaks, and preserves optimisation signals for Google & Meta.

Step 1 — Audit the real stack

We map your CMP, GTM, tags, cookies, regions, and consent signals — what’s firing, when, and why.

Step 1

Step 2 — Fix banner + preference centre

Banner copy, layout, purposes and vendor logic tightened so users understand choices and signals remain valid.

Step 2

Step 3 — Wire consent → GTM properly

DataLayer events, consent states, and triggers aligned so tags only fire when they should — no leaks, no gaps.

Step 3

Step 4 — Consent Mode v2 configuration

We implement (or repair) CMv2 for GA4 + Google Ads with sane defaults, regional behaviour, and validation.

Step 4

Step 5 — Meta Pixel + CAPI gating

Pixel, CAPI, dedupe and parameters are gated by consent so you keep performance while staying defensible.

Step 5

Step 6 — Documentation + handover

You get diagrams, a vendor list, and a Loom walkthrough so future changes don’t silently break compliance.

What we actually do for GDPR & consent

This service is built around three pillars: Consent Management, Policy Drafting and Platform Integration. The goal is a setup you can stand behind legally and still use to grow.

1. Consent Management

  • CMP selection or audit (Usercentrics, Cookiebot, Complianz, etc.).
  • Design and copy for your banner and preference centre.
  • Granular purposes (ads, analytics, functional) mapped to real tags.
  • Data-layer events and GTM triggers wired to the CMP.
  • Simple reporting on opt-in rates and regional behaviour.

2. Policy Drafting & Governance

  • Privacy and cookie policy updates that match your actual stack, in plain language.
  • Cookie + vendor inventory, grouped by purpose and region.
  • Internal records for higher-risk setups where you need DPIA-style notes.
  • Guidance on DSAR handling + marketing preferences through CRM/email tools.

3. Platform & Tag Integration

  • Google Consent Mode v2 configured for GA4 and Google Ads with sane defaults.
  • Meta Pixel & CAPI gated by consent signals (no more “always-on” pixels in the EU).
  • Tag Manager logic for other platforms aligned to the same consent model.
  • Clear documentation so future developers don’t break it.
Deliverables: live CMP implementation, updated policies, GTM / tag diagrams, and a Loom walkthrough showing exactly how consent flows through to Google and Meta.

Unsure if your consent setup would stand up to scrutiny?

Many sites we review still fire Google and Meta tags before consent, use non-certified CMPs, or have policies that don’t match reality. A quick GDPR & consent audit will show you the real risk – and how to fix it without killing your marketing.
