Violations

7
Critical
Tracking cookies were set before the consent decision GCM_002

Cookies: _pcid, cX_G, cX_P

Do not write analytics or advertising cookies until the visitor has made a consent choice. Load GTM/GA4 tags behind a denied consent default and let the CMP's update unblock them.

Critical
New tracking cookies were created after consent was rejected GCM_005

Cookies: IMRID, MUID, __eoi, cX_G, cX_P

Ensure no tracking cookies are set when consent is denied.

Critical
Consent Mode does not update in place after the consent choice GCM_008

Affected: broken

Call gtag('consent', 'update') immediately after the visitor's choice, with the correct values for both accept and reject. Do not rely on a page reload: it creates duplicate pageviews and breaks session attribution.

Critical
Non-compliant tracking after consent was rejected GCM_010

Affected: Adobe Experience Platform, Amazon Ads, Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Publisher Ads, Microsoft Advertising (UET), Nielsen, Parse.ly, Piano, comScore, Inc., DoubleVerify

After a rejection the listed tools must stop storing visitor IDs and sending measurement, or run only in a verified cookie-less mode.

Warning
Consent Mode default is missing GCM_001

Call gtag('consent', 'default') with denied values before GTM or GA4 loads, so the initial consent state is explicit.

Warning
Consent state was not updated after the banner choice GCM_003

Make both the accept and the reject button update the consent state through the GTM Consent API or gtag('consent', 'update').

Warning
Non-compliant tracking before consent GCM_009

Affected: Adobe Experience Platform, Amazon Ads, Amplitude, Google Publisher Ads, Piano, DoubleVerify

The listed tools stored a visitor ID or sent measurement before the visitor chose, without a verified cookie-less mode. Load them only after consent, or configure a documented cookie-less mode that sends no IDs.
