Google's Consent Mode and Finsweet Cookie Consent

@Support-Luis

Hi Luis, thank you for the update. Perhaps you could consider including the following in the Cookie Consent V2 update: In the current version of the Finsweet setup, Cloudflare workers KV can be used. As far as I know, this may not be entirely GDPR compliant since a worker can operate outside the EU, potentially leading to data being stored on non-European servers. If I am mistaken, please let me know how this works. If anyone knows of any alternatives for storing these consents, please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Do you guys have a timeline for the v2 release?

Are there any updates on the timeline?
To be honest, the marketing team is pressuring me to either fix this or replace Finsweet Cookie Consent with an alternative provider. I need to make a decision and give an answer soon.

April Product Update with solution for Consent Mode v2

Add fs-cc-consentmode=“true” to the fs-cc script tag to send events to GTM to enable consent mode.

Great news Kata! Is this just a case of changing:

<script async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@finsweet/cookie-consent@1/fs-cc.js" fs-cc-mode="opt-in"></script>

to

<script async src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@finsweet/cookie-consent@1/fs-cc.js" fs-cc-mode="opt-in" fs-cc-consentmode="true"></script>

Just not sure where to add the fs-cc-consentmode=“true”.

Thanks!

Hello, could anybody shed some light on this? is adding this line all that’s required to do? I’ve seen some guides to configure consent mode v2 with GTM and there’s a few more steps to do and I don’t understand if I need those or not. thanks

Yes, it would be great to have a bit more guidance on how to implement if possible.

add this:
async src=“https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@finsweet/cookie-consent@1/fs-cc.js” fs-cc-mode=“opt-in” fs-cc-consentmode=“true”

Give this man an award! Got some headache but in the end it worked with some debugging…

Honestly we (my Google expert and I) tried many different things. I can’t tell if the attribute ‘fs-cc-consentmode=“true”’ made a difference or not. I can test if it’s requested from you.

I followed the steps from ruusa. Some comments from my side:

  1. Added the code at the very top of tag of the page settings. Second the finsweet cookie script. At third position you can set Google Tag Manager script (DO NOT set your GTM script to type=“fs-cc”. DO NOT add any attributes to the GTM script tag). We integrated Google Analytics as a Tag into GTM, so no additional code for this needed in webflow.
  2. Set the id’s at the right position of the elements. Cookie-icon is twice in his comment, I only used it once.
  3. Copied it 1:1 at the end of the tag

Very important
Don’t forget the steps (Google Tag Manager setup) from here: Finsweet Cookie Consent for Webflow

Also last step “In Google Tag Manager:” from ruusa.

Also step 3 from Code & Wander:

  1. Log into Google Tag Manager.
  2. Go to Admin > Container Settings > tick ‘Enable Consent Overview’
  3. In Workspace > Tags you now see a shield appeared on the top right. Clicking on it you can set the consent for each tag.

Hope I was able to help, leave a like if it did.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to add more info!

I was testing around trying to find a solution at first and after I figured out this setup worked, I wrote the guide. Which means it’s not as comprehensive as it should be and there’s a typo like adding the cookie-icon id twice in the list.

Since this setup works for me, for now, I have yet to use the ‘fs-cc-consentmode=“true”. There’s very little guidance on how it actually works and I’m afraid of messing things up after getting this up and running.

I wonder how ‘fs-cc-consentmode=“true” has been working for other users posting in here?

@Support-Luis adding the fs-cc-consentmode=“true” to the script did not do it. anything else we must add or change in Google Tag Manager to make sure the consent mode is activated?

hi guys, can someone please shed some light on this? i can’t figure it out. i don’t think that just adding fs-cc-consentmode in the script did it. thank you!

Update. the Google Consent mode does not work if your script has -ie for Internet Explorer enabled.

Guys, I have finally configured it after so long. This is the thing that helped me: Configure Webflow Finsweet Cookie Consent Mode in GTM » Stuifbergen.com

So is this how this ended? We are left with some non-working solution or some highly complex Code/Analytics setups?

It would be super useful if the team could do a stream/video on how to implement V2 correctly. There seems to be a lot of confusion on how this works?

Is this solution just going to be replaced with the Cookie Apps / Component?

I know that this is old thread but according to Joe https://youtu.be/j8tvkaBUxJQ?t=825 you must add fs-cc-consentmode=“true” to every script which is firing cookies.
