This half-day session will teach you how to set up Consent Mode within Google Tag Manager, integrate it with a consent management platform (CMP), and ensure that your Google Tags like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Ads respect user consent choices.
Throughout the workshop, our experienced instructors will walk you through real-world examples and best practices for controlling data collection while remaining compliant with privacy regulations.
In addition, we'll explore behavioural modelling—Google’s method for filling data gaps when user consent is not provided—and how you can set up enhanced pings to leverage this powerful feature. By the end of the session, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to maintain data accuracy and compliance with minimal impact on your marketing and analytics efforts.
Our Google Consent Mode course is available as a private session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice in the US.
