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
Google Consent Mode v2 restrains Google tags, but other trackers or cookies were observed before consent.

What this setup is missing
- Script blocking is manual. Each script must be tagged by hand, and untagged scripts run before consent.
- Google tags were observed, but Google Consent Mode v2 was not detected.
- The published cookie declaration does not include all cookies observed on the site.
- No Reject option on the first layer; declining requires extra steps.
