How to setup Consent Mode for Google Tag Manager with UniConsent

About Google Consent Mode CMP →

You can easily set up the UniCosent CMP Tag on your website via Google Tag Manager using the UniConsent CMP Tag Template for GTM.

It is recommended to set up UniCosent CMP via Google Tag Manager if you are managing all your other tags with Google Tag Manager.

Google Tag Manager loads the UniCosent CMP Tag with the Consent Initialization - All Pages trigger. Then, use Consent Mode signals provided by the UniConsent CMP Tag to load your other tags in GTM.

Before you get started, find the CMP license ID in the UniConsent dashboard under the Install & Setup section of your project.

Step 1: Find or Create a Container in Google Tag Manager

Find the Google Tag Manager container for your website, or create one if you are new to Google Tag Manager.
