Google has announced significant changes to Google Ads and Google Analytics tracking for 2024. The reason for this is the enforcement of the directive on user consent in the EU.
This means that Google Consent Mode must be implemented or updated.
Google Ads advertisers and Analytics users need to prepare for an update to the current setup in order to continue using personalized ads and conversion tracking in the long term.
When are adjustments necessary?
The implementation or update of Google Consent Mode must be carried out for the following measurement functions:
- Websites: for measurement tags that are used to send data to Google, for example Google Ads conversion tracking, Google Analytics 4
- Apps: for SDKs that are used to send data to Google, for example Google Analytcis for Apps (formerly Web & App or Firebase properties)
- Data uploads: Tools for uploading data from offline sources to Google. This applies, for example, to offline conversion tracking (OCI), data on in-store purchases and any uploads from connected CRM systems.
