Thanks, Benjamin. Please make a video showing us how to set up the consent banner too. Oh boy, google really have us jumping through hoops lately. This is more money clients have to find, very frustrating.

Benjamin, great video! I saw the notice banner in GA4 a few days ago and had no idea what I should do - thanks for making a video on this :) Could you also make a video about setting up a consent banner on a website? Looking forward to more great content!

@EricBryant Ай бұрын

Questions: 1. If I "leave as is", does that mean that ads won't be shown to EU users? Or does it just mean that no personalization data on these EU users will be sent to GA4 (thereby preventing it from being sent to Google Ads). 2. If I "disable ad personalization for the linked GAds account" what happens then? Same question above. Thanks! Great video!

Hi! Very clear instructions here, thanks for that! One question though, so if you don't get this warning in GA interface and don't use any marketing tools (our clients generally just have a basic Google Analytics), do we need to make this change? Clients are EU based. Thanks in advance!

Now with mandatory consent imode n EU, there will be less statistics collected inevitably, less conversions, therefore - conversion prices and values will go up. Is this correct assumption?

@nelmedia279 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. I use the banner that Google provides in AdSense. Can it be customized? I also read about changing the code in gtags but I didn't understand which part should be changed.

@LovesData 3 ай бұрын

I'm not currently using Google AdSense on my website, but the customization options look fairly limited. I'm also not sure how well the AdSense banner meets requirements that fall outside of placing ads on your website. For example, it doesn't scan your website to include details about the various tracking cookies being used. You would have to talk to AdSense support and your lawyer about this. I also recommend using Google Tag Manager to implement Google Analytics. It's more flexible and provides easier integrations for consent mode. However, you can find details about modifying the Google Tag at developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent

If you want to advertise to people based in the EU, then you will need to implement consent signals regardless of your business location.

Thank you. Exactly the info I needed. After implementing consent signals, I still have an exclamation mark next to "Verify data consent settings" (just as you do in the video 5:22). How do I get the green tick here as well?

Once implemented and data is being collected with consent signals, you’ll need to wait 24 to 48 hours for this to appear in your property.

@LovesData After 3 days we still have the exclamation mark on the third point next to "Verify data consent settings". This is exactly as you do in the video. Did you manage to get rid of this warning and get the third green tick? I have seen several forum posts with users reporting the same problem. The first two green ticks are correct but the third point remains as a warning.

@LovesData 2 ай бұрын

@@njr101oh sorry, I’ve just re-read your original comment. The third option, so ‘Verify data consent settings’ won’t get a green tick. This option lets you control where data is shared. You can click ‘Manage data’ to adjust this, but Google recommends leaving it as the default. It’s the other two, so ‘Ads measurement consent signals’ and ‘Ads personalization consent signals’ that will have green ticks once data is collected with consent signals.

@@LovesData Yes, I clicked the "Manage data" button and tried both settings but it makes no difference. Either way it still gives the warning. Well, at least I know that you have the same problem. Thank you for the reply and thank you for the great video.

Hi Benjamin , I am trying to send user id to GA-4 but I am getting non_personalized_ads=0 in user properties while testing it in debug view , Could you please tell me ,why this is happening ?

@LovesData 3 ай бұрын

This tells Google Analytics if consent has been provided for personalized ads or not. When the parameter is sent as non_personalized_ads=0 it means consent is being provided, when it is sent as non_personalized_ads=1 it means consent has been declined. This parameter will update based on the selection made on your consent banner.

@user-ve8rm2bd8m 3 ай бұрын

if you're in Australia where cookie banners are not mandatory what does GA4 collect? What would be the best practice in areas like these?

@LovesData 3 ай бұрын

Currently, one of the main considerations are users based in the EU and UK. If you want to collect data and target advertising to these users, you will need a consent banner regardless of the location of your business. And apart from the EU and UK, since requirements can vary by the size and nature of your business, I would always recommend getting legal advice if you’re in doubt.

@user-ve8rm2bd8m 3 ай бұрын

@@LovesData Thank you! That all makes sense. So if there is no cookie banner and you are operating in a country like Australia does GA4 default to assuming all users have accepted cookies (if they haven't adjusted any of their browser settings)? Trying to understand what it is actually collecting. If it is defaulting to decline cookies may need to implement a cookie banner despite the fact it's not mandatory. We currently do not do advertising and are a local gov agency so would not be targeting the EU or UK. Really appreciate your help here!

@LovesData 3 ай бұрын

Google doesn't assume people have granted consent, it's looking for consent signals that have been collected. Without a consent banner, you won't be sending details about user consent to Google Analytics. And any data collected without consent from EU and UK users won't be available in any linked Google Ads accounts.

@jeffa9887 Ай бұрын

Hey Benjamin, is it weird that the GA tag fires a page view only when the consent has been given by the user?

@LovesData Ай бұрын

You can do it that way, but the Google Tag will automatically adjust based on consent settings, so it really depends on how you want the tag to fire. If you want it to send the basic hit before consent (e.g. for data modelling), then I’d say the wrong trigger is being used or there’s another issue with the implementation of your consent banner.

@jennbaldino 3 ай бұрын

What if you don’t sell to European visitors, only local?

@LovesData 3 ай бұрын

I touch on two options in the video, which are to leave your implementation as-is or disable personalization for Google Ads. Basically, if you don’t send the consent signal with the data you collect from users in the EU, then it won’t be available to use in Google Ads.
