Among two approaches — Basic and Advanced — this guide focuses on implementing Google Consent Mode in Basic Mode using SecurePrivacy. It explains the simple setup steps and how this mode blocks Google ads and analytics for users who have not consented.
Introduction to Google Consent Mode - Basic
Google Consent Mode offers two main approaches: Basic and Advanced. This guide helps you choose and implement the Basic Mode. If you want to understand the differences between Basic and Advanced modes, please see our support guide with a detailed explanation. The focus here is on enabling the Basic Mode quickly and effectively.
How to Enable Google Consent Mode - Basic in SecurePrivacy
- SecurePrivacy provides a domain framework category named Google consent mode (basic) to simplify implementing this mode and differentiate it from other options.
- This framework restores the standard SecurePrivacy method to block Google products such as advertising and analytics.
- When enabled, it prevents Google plugins from loading and collecting data from users who have not given consent, fulfilling an essential Google Consent Mode requirement.
Default Consent Status and Configuration
- The default consent status you configure within your domain settings will be applied and respected.
- This status is pushed to the
dataLayerwindow object along with the developer ID and other necessary configuration details.
