How it works
Obtaining consent and supplying its state are separate tasks; check defaults and updates.
Example
Example: On refusal, relevant signals remain denied under the selected compliant setup.
Common mistakes
The technology does not replace legal assessment or consent collection.
How can you check this in practice?
Check default state before tags load and updates after the visitor's choice. Consent Mode communicates signals; the separate choice mechanism must supply them correctly. Test refusal and acceptance, not just the positive scenario.
Distinctions and limitations
Consent Mode is not the consent banner itself or a legal guarantee. Basic and advanced configurations behave differently. Modelled results are not individually observed events and do not recover every action.
