What this checker inspects

gtag() & Google Tag consent 'default' consent 'update' ad_storage analytics_storage ad_user_data ad_personalization

What it checks

Every part of your Consent Mode setup

The checker loads your page, executes its JavaScript, and inspects the variables Google Tag Manager relies on.

Consent Mode is present

Detects whether gtag('consent', …) commands exist at all — the first thing Google looks for on every page load.

Default state fires first

Confirms a 'default' command runs before any tag — so consent is denied by default until the visitor chooses.

Update call on consent

Verifies an 'update' command fires the moment a visitor accepts or declines — keeping signals in sync.

All four V2 signals

Checks ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization — the last two are new in V2.

Valid command values

Inspects each signal's value to make sure it's a valid 'granted' or 'denied' — not a typo or missing entry.

Firing order & timing

Reads the dataLayer to confirm consent runs before measurement tags — a common silent failure.

FAQ

Consent Mode V2, answered

The questions site owners ask most about the checker and Consent Mode.

What does the Consent Mode V2 Checker do?
It loads your webpage, executes the page's JavaScript, and inspects the variables Google Tag Manager uses. It then reports whether Google Consent Mode is implemented — and whether the default consent state is valid.
Is the tool really free?
Yes — it's free forever, gives an instant report, and requires no email or account. Run as many scans as you need.
What are the four Consent Mode V2 signals?
Consent Mode V2 uses ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. The last two were added in 2024 — many sites that set up Consent Mode before then are still missing them.
Why does my site fail the Consent Mode check?
Usually because the gtag('consent', …) commands are missing entirely, or the 'default' state isn't set correctly. If your setup predates March 2024, it likely needs updating for V2.
Does running a scan change my website?
No. The checker only reads your page. It never modifies your site, your tags, or your data — it's a read-only inspection.
How do I fix the issues it finds?
Install a Google-certified CMP like Consentik™. It sets all four signals, fires the default and update commands in the right order, and keeps everything compliant — with no manual tag editing required.
