Frequently asked questions

Consent Mode Monitor can only scan community tags if you are logged in with Google. For full accuracy, click login with Google and 1000 community tags will be added to the scan.

Consent Mode Monitor will create a new workspace and fix all issues, allowing you to see all changes and switch back to your previous version for full control.

Up to 91% of sites use Google Tag Manager. However, other tools that check consent mode are only web scrapers that don’t scan tag management systems directly. Web scanners can’t always get behind login pages or go deep into your configuration settings. This means they may not get a complete overview of how compliant your setup is. This means Consent Mode Monitor is uniquely accurate compared to other tools.
