- Works with any CMP
- Delivered as a written configuration summary
Overview
Who this audit is for
- You have a cookie banner and Consent Mode technically in place but have never verified it is working correctly.
- You are not sure whether your setup uses Basic or Advanced Consent Mode and what the difference means for your data.
- Your GA4 or Google Ads shows no modelled conversions despite having EEA traffic, and you want to know why.
- You have recently changed your CMP or tag manager setup and want a quick check before investing in deeper work.
- A legal review has flagged your consent setup and you want to understand its technical state before addressing it.
What the Consent Mode Audit covers
- Whether Consent Mode v2 is configured in your tag manager and which mode is active (Basic or Advanced).
- Whether the consent callback from your CMP appears to fire before Google tags initialise, or after.
- Whether regional defaults are set for EEA versus non-EEA audiences.
- A basic check of whether key tags appear to respond differently across consent states.
What you receive
- A written Consent Mode configuration summary covering what is in place and what is missing.
- The most important compliance or data-recovery gaps identified.
- A recommended next step based on what is found.
Scope and timing
- 1-2 hours of review time, completely free.
- A short scoping call (15-30 minutes) to confirm your domain, CMP, and which Google tags are in scope.
- Works with any CMP: Cookiebot, OneTrust, CookieYes, Usercentrics, and others.
- Findings delivered in writing. This is not a full network-interception compliance test.
What makes this audit different
- We are clear about what a 1-2 hour review can confirm versus what requires full network-interception testing.
- We check both the compliance angle (are tags blocked when they should be) and the data-recovery angle (is Advanced mode active and is modelling working).
- If the configuration looks correct, we tell you — we do not recommend further work unless it is warranted.
- No sales call required to receive the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as a full GDPR compliance audit?
No. The free audit is a basic configuration review. A full GDPR compliance audit involves network interception across all four consent states to produce documented evidence of what fires and when. That is a paid service and takes 12-15 hours.
What is the difference between Basic and Advanced Consent Mode?
Basic mode prevents Google tags from firing until consent is given. Advanced mode allows Google tags to observe cookieless behaviour when consent is denied, which activates behavioural modelling and recovers some attribution data. Most accounts should be on Advanced mode.
Which CMPs do you support for this review?
Any CMP that exposes a consent callback: Cookiebot, OneTrust, CookieYes, Complianz, Usercentrics, Didomi, and others. If you are not sure what CMP you use, we can identify it on the scoping call.
Will this confirm I am GDPR compliant?
No. This is a technical configuration review, not a compliance certification. It tells you what the setup looks like and what the obvious gaps are. Network-interception testing is needed to produce documented compliance evidence.
