Why did the scan fail when I put in a web address?
Sometimes the scan can be blocked by Cloudflare or other systems. If this is the case, simply enter the GTM account ID and it will scan without any issues.
Why did Consent Mode Monitor miss some tags?
Consent Mode Monitor can only scan community tags if you are logged in with Google. For full accuracy, click login with Google and 1000 community tags will be added to the scan.
What does logging in with Google do?
As well as providing greater accuracy, logging in with Google allows you to keep track of your history, and provides the opportunity to access to 1 click fixes and continuous consent monitoring and alerts.
What does the fix button do?
Consent Mode Monitor will create a new workspace and fix all issues, allowing you to see all changes and switch back to your previous version for full control.
Why do I need a Tag Management System (TMS) scanner like Consent Mode Monitor?
Up to 91% of sites use Google Tag Manager. However, other tools that check consent mode are only web scrapers that don’t scan tag management systems directly. Web scanners can’t always get behind login pages or go deep into your configuration settings. This means they may not get a complete overview of how compliant your setup is. This means Consent Mode Monitor is uniquely accurate compared to other tools.
Why should I not use blocking rules?
Blocking rules are generally considered to be bad practice for a number of reasons and should be avoided. Using blocking rules will prevent you from using advanced consent mode with advertiser-specific modeling.
What is consent mode modelling?
Consent Mode Modeling refers to how Google estimates conversions and user behavior when consent is not given. It uses machine learning and statistical modeling to maintain data accuracy, and Google recommends that you use consent mode modelling alongside cookieless pings.
