What are the impacts of Consent Mode v2 on my Google Analytics and Google Ads data?

If a user declines consent, you will no longer collect detailed personal data about them in GA4, and your Google Ads remarketing audiences will be smaller. However, thanks to conversion and behavior modeling (enabled by Consent Mode v2 in limited mode), Google can estimate some of the missing data, giving you a more complete (but modeled) view of your performance.

Q: Do I have to use a Consent Management Platform (CMP)?

To collect and manage user consent compliantly, using a CMP is highly recommended, if not essential. A CMP displays the consent banner, records user choices, and can integrate with GTM and Consent Mode v2 to pass those choices to beacons.

Q: Does Consent Mode v2 replace the need to obtain consent?

No, absolutely not. Consent Mode v2 does not replace the need to obtain explicit user consent for the use of cookies and the processing of their personal data. It simply allows the behavior of Google tags to be adjusted AFTER the user has expressed their choice via a consent banner (managed by a CMP).
