Interesting, this seems to be another way. It seems that you can configure cookie consent without touching the site's code, instead using Google Tag Manager, or is this the way?

I do it this way

function updatePreferences(cookie) {
    let preferences = {
        analytics_storage: "denied",
        ad_storage: "denied",
        ad_user_data: "denied",
        ad_personalization: "denied"
    };

    cookie.categories.forEach(category => {
        if (category === 'analytics') {
            preferences.analytics_storage = "granted";
        }
        if (category === 'advertising') {
            preferences.ad_storage = "granted";
            preferences.ad_user_data = "granted";
            preferences.ad_personalization = "granted";
        }
    });

    if (preferences) {
        window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

        function gtag() {
            window.dataLayer.push(arguments);
        }

        gtag("consent", "update", preferences);

        setTimeout(function () {
            window.location.reload();
        }, 1000);
    }
}

onFirstConsent: ({cookie}) => updatePreferences(cookie),
onChange: ({cookie}) => updatePreferences(cookie),

Have you found a solution for cookie consent version 3 to ensure compatibility with Google Consent?

[Charissa24]

Hi everyone, there's an updated tutorial for version 3:

@Charissa24 is this tutorial written by yourself?

I tried to understand it but I don't get the steps needed, maybe because there seem to be many possibilities to use and configure Tag Manager.

https://github.com/brainsum/cookieconsent?tab=readme-ov-file#consent-mode-v2 and https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent?consentmode=advanced&hl=de#region-specific-behavior just suggest to set gtag() parameters which seem to make it much more easy: It doesn't require me to go through the Google Tag Manager Container's GUI, am I right?

I didn't write this tutorial. But it should all be done within Tag Manager.
