Violations

Critical
Tracking cookies were set before the consent decision GCM_002

Cookies: _ga, _ga_YQL08635YN, _gat, _gid

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
Non-compliant tracking after consent was rejected GCM_010

Affected: Criteo, Google Analytics 4, Google Universal Analytics

After a rejection the affected vendors must stop setting identifiers 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
Non-compliant tracking before consent GCM_009

Affected: Google Analytics 4, Google Universal Analytics

The affected vendors set an identifier or sent measurement that is not verifiably cookie-less before the visitor chose. Load them only after consent, or configure a documented cookie-less mode that sends no identifiers.
