Consent (Usercentrics or any CMP)

Consent (Usercentrics or any CMP)

• Nothing fires before a choiceOpen the site in a clean private window with the network tab open. No analytics or advertising requests should appear until the visitor chooses.
• Declining really blocksChoose reject all, reload, and check cookies and requests. No non-essential cookies, no calls to ad or analytics endpoints.
• Consent signals reach GoogleConsent Mode defaults to denied before the choice and updates after it. Check the consent state in tag debugging, not just the banner.
• Withdrawing is as easy as agreeingA permanent link or button reopens the settings, and changing a choice takes effect without a new visit.
• The CMP list matches the siteEvery script on the site appears in the CMP under the right category. No unlisted tags added by agencies or plugins.
• Google tags respect consentIn your tag manager, tags carry consent settings instead of relying on triggers alone. Preview a visit with consent denied and confirm what fires.
• The choice is remembered correctlyThe decision persists across pages and subdomains, and the banner returns when the CMP interval ends or the list of services changes.
• The privacy policy tells the same storyPurposes, vendors and retention in the policy match what the CMP and the site actually do, and the date is current.
