Consent enforcement level
-
1
Nothing non-essential runs before consent is given. This is the strict reading of ePrivacy Article 5(3) and the strongest position.
-
2
Google tags load with storage defaulted to denied and send only cookieless pings before consent. Permitted in Google's model, but not the strict reading of Article 5(3).
-
3
Partially enforced This site
Google Consent Mode v2 restrains Google tags, but other trackers or cookies were observed before consent.
-
4
Trackers or cookies execute before the visitor consents, with no consent signals restraining them.
