Violations

5
Critical
New tracking cookies were created after consent was rejected GCM_005

Cookies: __eoi

Ensure no tracking cookies are set when consent is denied.

Critical
Non-compliant tracking after consent was rejected GCM_010

Affected: Google Publisher Ads, Bombora, comScore, Inc., Integral Ad Science, Quantcast, AT&T

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: Google Publisher Ads, Bombora, Integral Ad Science

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.
