DEMO does not populate any consent_events into GTM datalayer

[horde45]

Hello, I downloaded the complete packages v 2.6 and 3.0, followed the instructions, put all necessary css and js files into the same directory on a web server, adjusted paths in index.html - and I stil do not see any consent events in GTM debug view . is that normal? I expected that upon confirming my cookie choices the script behind the banner will send consents events to datalayer where they would be grabbed by GTM console.

There are no services pre configured with the plugin. You need to manually set up GTM.

many thanks for a quick reply.. Im not really into programing so please forgive me my stupid question: do I get it correctly that on a datalayer level your script does not send anything to GTM that I could "grab" and use?

Yes, this plugin is merely a skeleton. It does not implement any kind of service, but gives you the tools to easily set them up. You need to have basic knowledge of javascript to comfortably use the plugin.

Here is an example config. of GTM with google consent mode v2.

thank you for clarification.. and I spent hours trying to figure out why there are no consent events visible in GTM debug view.. perhaps it could be beneficial to include this information into readme file

I tried your hint with the on-page JS but it does not work as expected.

GA4 script part works and correctly sends consents into GTM datalayer

<script type="text/plain" data-category="analytics" data-service="Google Analytics 4"> gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX'); gtag('consent', 'update', { personalization_storage: 'granted', functionality_storage: 'granted', analytics_storage: 'granted' }); console.log("gtag: analytics_storage=granted"); </script>

---- BELOW DOES NOT send a %!@ to GTM datalayer - no consent granted

<script type="text/plain" data-category="ads" data-service="Google Ads"> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('consent', 'update', { ad_storage: 'granted' }); console.log("gtag: ad_storage=granted"); </script>

tried your hint with JS on-page script and it still does not work as intended. What am I doing wrong?
