In the digital era, where user data privacy is key, the introduction of new Google Consent Mode v2 regulations becomes essential.

Below you will find a detailed guide on why it is worth implementing Consent Mode v2, what are the consequences of not implementing it, and how to do it step by step using the CookieYes plugin.
Why is it worth implementing Consent Mode v2?
Google Consent Mode is designed to help businesses comply with European privacy regulations such as GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. The new version, Consent Mode v2, introduces additional settings and features that help businesses better manage user data and consent (Vaimo) (Cassie).
- Regulatory Compliance: Implementation of Consent Mode v2 is necessary to comply with regulatory requirements such as the Digital Markets Act, which comes into effect in March 2024.
- Optimize your ad campaigns: With Consent Mode v2, Google can model the behavior of users who have not consented to cookies, allowing for more effective planning of ad campaigns and a better understanding of conversions.
- User trust: Transparent user consent management builds brand trust and can improve user experiences on your site.
Consequences of not implementing Consent Mode v2
Failure to implement Consent Mode v2 can lead to serious consequences:
- Loss of advertising opportunities: Failure to implement new regulations may result in the limitation or complete blocking of the ability to run advertising campaigns on Google Ads.
- Limited analytics capabilities: Without proper implementation, Google Analytics will not be able to collect complete user data, making it difficult to analyze website traffic and make informed business decisions.
- Data protection law breaches: Failure to comply with the new regulations may lead to a breach of GDPR and other local data protection laws, which may result in financial penalties.
