Cookie consent that's compliant and doesn't break your data
Consent Mode v2, CMP setup and validation, done properly. Compliance covered without losing the analytics you rely on.
A banner bolted on wrong breaks more than it protects
Most sites either skip proper consent signaling (compliance risk) or block every tag on decline (data cliff). Neither is necessary.
- Tags fire before the user has chosen
- GA4 conversions drop off a cliff after decline
- Google Ads flags missing Consent Mode signals
- No real audit trail if a regulator asks
- Nothing fires until consent is given
- Declined users still show up, modeled
- Ads runs clean, no Consent Mode warnings
- Documented setup, defensible if questioned
What my cookie consent service includes
Consent banner (CMP)
A compliant, region-aware banner styled to match your brand, with clear accept, reject and preferences — no generic pop-up.
Google Consent Mode v2
All four consent signals wired in GTM, default denied until the user chooses, state updated the instant they consent.
GA4 & Ads behaviour
Every tag respects the consent state; conversion modeling switched on and validated across granted and denied.
CMP-agnostic — I fit into what you already run
Who this is best for
Growth-stage businesses
You're scaling paid channels and need to know exactly which campaigns drive real revenue—not just clicks.
Ecommerce brands
Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom—you need purchase tracking, funnel visibility, and revenue numbers you can trust.
Agencies & consultancies
You deliver strategy. I handle the tracking builds behind it—white-label, on deadline, zero hand-holding needed.
Data-driven teams
Product, marketing, or ops—if your team makes decisions from dashboards, those dashboards need clean data underneath.
Getting from “not compliant” to “done”
Fixed scope, fixed price, zero retainer lock-in. Every consent setup follows the same four-step rhythm so you always know what’s next.
Audit current state
I check what's firing, what's blocked, and whether Consent Mode signals exist at all today.
- Tag firing patterns
- Existing consent state
- Compliance gap report
Banner & signal setup
Region-aware CMP configured (or your existing one wired in), all four Consent Mode v2 signals default-denied in GTM.
- CMP or existing banner wired
- All 4 v2 signals in GTM
- Region-aware defaults
Validate in DebugView
Tested across granted and denied paths until GA4 and Ads both report modeled conversions correctly.
- Granted-path validation
- Denied-path validation
- Modeled conversions checked
Documented handover
Clear documentation of what's configured and why, so your team (or the next agency) doesn't start from zero.
- Signal-to-tag mapping doc
- Region default reference
- 30-min walkthrough call
The difference a specialist makes
Most broken tracking comes from generalists guessing. Here’s how working with me compares to the usual routes.
Two ways to start today
No retainer, no long commitment. Get a result first, then scale up if it makes sense.
One clearly scoped tracking problem—diagnosed, fixed, and validated before I call it done.
- ✓Single issue scoped up front
- ✓Fix deployed & tested end-to-end
- ✓Written summary of what changed
- ✓24–48 hour turnaround
Best for: a single well-defined tracking problem
For anything bigger than a single fix—implementations, audits, ongoing optimization. Billed by the hour with a detailed time log.
- ✓No retainer, no minimum commitment
- ✓Transparent time log shared after each session
- ✓Full documentation of every change
- ✓Async updates via email or Slack
- ✓Pause or stop any time
Best for: implementations, audits, ongoing work

Questions, answered
What is Google Consent Mode v2?
It lets your tags respect a user's consent choice while Google models the conversions and behaviour of users who decline, so you stay compliant without a data cliff. It became mandatory for personalized ads in the EEA in March 2024.
Will adding a consent banner tank my GA4 data?
A basic banner that just blocks tags will. Consent Mode v2 configured properly keeps measurement going through modeling, even for users who decline — so your GA4 and Ads numbers stay usable instead of collapsing.
I already have a cookie banner — do you replace it?
Usually not. Most CMPs (CookieYes, Cookiebot, OneTrust, Complianz, custom-built) work fine once wired correctly. I typically fix the GTM/Consent Mode integration behind your existing banner rather than rip it out.
Do you handle the legal side of compliance?
No — I'm an analytics engineer, not a lawyer. I implement consent correctly on the technical side; please confirm your policy wording and required disclosures with your legal advisor.
What regions does this cover?
I configure region-aware behavior for GDPR (EU), UK GDPR and CCPA/CPRA (California), so the banner and consent signals adapt automatically to where the visitor is browsing from.
How long does the whole setup take?
A single-issue fix (e.g. missing Consent Mode signals) is usually 24–48 hours. A full banner-plus-Consent-Mode build from scratch typically takes 3–5 business days, validated in DebugView before handover.
