2.4 Advertising/Marketing Cookies

3. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2 to manage how Google tags behave based on your consent choices. This is our mechanism for complying with EU/EEA consent requirements while maintaining analytics functionality.
How Google Consent Mode v2 Works
Google Consent Mode v2 adjusts the behavior of Google Analytics and other Google tags based on the consent status you choose:
When you grant consent:
analytics_storage: Set togranted— Google Analytics cookies are placed and full measurement data is collected.ad_storage: Set togranted— Advertising cookies function normally.ad_user_data: Set togranted— User data may be sent to Google for advertising purposes.ad_personalization: Set togranted— Personalized advertising is enabled.
When you deny consent:
analytics_storage: Set todenied— No analytics cookies are placed. Google uses cookieless pings to provide modeled, aggregated data without identifying individual users.ad_storage: Set todenied— No advertising cookies are placed.ad_user_data: Set todenied— No user data is sent to Google for advertising purposes.ad_personalization: Set todenied— No personalized advertising occurs.
Default state: For visitors from the EU/EEA, all consent parameters default to denied until you make an affirmative consent choice. For visitors from other regions, defaults may vary based on applicable local law.
Consent Mode v2 Required Parameters
Google Consent Mode v2 requires all four consent parameters (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) to be declared. We set all four parameters and update them in real-time based on your consent banner interaction.
