Frequently asked questions
- What is cookie consent management?
- Cookie consent management controls cookies and trackers before and after a visitor makes a choice. It combines the banner, blocking rules, consent signals, records, and ongoing verification.
- How does Google Consent Mode v2 work with cookie consent?
- Consent Mode v2 communicates consent states to Google tags. GDPRChecker sets denied defaults before tags load and grants the matching signals only after the visitor opts in.
- Does cookie consent management require a CMP?
- For sites using analytics, marketing, or other non-essential tracking, a consent-management tool is a practical way to manage the banner, blocking, signals, and records. IAB registration or Google CMP certification is not normally required unless the site needs the advertising-industry TCF workflow.
- What is the difference between cookie consent and a cookie banner?
- The banner is the visible interface. Consent management is the technical outcome: valid choices, prior blocking, correct signals, and auditable records.
