Since the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) Google requires the use of Google consent mode in order to determine whether or not personalized information can be collected and processed.
If you haven't implemented consent mode correctly, you may see this warning in Google Analytics.
This may be due to one of the following things:
-
There are no default consent settings.
You will need to add an inline script before gtag or Google Tag Manager scripts.
If you choose to implement Cookiebot CMP via our Google Tag Manager tag template, the default settings will be set automatically and you won't have to add the inline script. -
Default settings are added too late.
To apply the default settings, it's important the the inline script with the default permissions loads before any gtag or Google Tag Manager scripts, so the default settings are available when these scripts load. -
Specific permissions are missing.
Two additional parameters were added in consent mode v2;ad_user_dataandad_personalization.
Both of these permissions must be set by default.
To find out what the problem is, click View pages on the warning and inspect the source code of the page.
Check to see whether the inline script is present, that it precedes any Google scripts, and that the ad_user_data and ad_personalization permissions are included.
If you chose to add Cookiebot CMP via the tag template, please make sure that you've updated the tag to the latest version and that ad_user_data and ad_personalization permissions are set.

Facing the “Consent mode installation out of order” warning? Ensure the inline script with default consent settings loads before any gtag or Google Tag Manager scripts. Check that
ad_user_dataandad_personalizationpermissions are included. If using Cookiebot CMP, update to the latest version for automatic default settings. Inspect your page source to confirm, and you’re all set!Please sign in to leave a comment.
