SEO, AdWords, affiliates, advertising, and promotions
Hello,
Our IT informed us that at the moment the Google Tag Manager and everything inside it are run before the Shopify Cookiebanner is activated. So, all tracking scripts that are added through GTM are executed even when the user declines tracking, as they are executed before the banner has time to stop them; the banner only activates afterwards.
Is this correct, and if so, doesn't that negate the usefulness of the cookie banner? If this is not expected behaviour (as I assume it would not be), can anyone point us to the correct way to implement GTM in Shopify, if at all possible and recommended?
Additionally, if we were to decide to stop using GTM, could anyone point us to resources on how to implement certain external scripts (for example: Clarity, tracking of affiliate conversions for commission purposes, etc.)?
I'm looking for general information on how to implement external scripts in Shopify without using GTM, not specific instructions on how to implement the examples given 🙂
Looking forward to your input,
Kind regards
P.s. we use the Google & YouTube Channel-App, is it possible to disable GTM and the GTM-Datalayer whilst using this channel?
Hi @Usernames

If you are using Google & Youtube channel, it now sending a wrong consent event to Google. I dont know why Google has not fixed it.
Have you implemented Google Consent Mode V2 to your store, yet?
