Resolving Google Ads Consent Mode v2 Warnings with CookieYes
Content
Many WordPress users running Google Ads have recently encountered a new warning in their accounts: "Implement consent for ads personalisation. You are not providing EEA end-user consent signals required for ad personalisation features." This alert is related to Google's mandatory shift to Consent Mode v2, a framework for communicating user consent choices to Google's advertising services.
This warning appears because Google now requires a specific implementation to receive user consent signals from visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK. If not addressed before the deadline, this can negatively impact your ad campaign performance.
How to Configure CookieYes for Consent Mode v2
Based on community discussions and official guidance, here are the most common solutions to resolve this warning with the CookieYes plugin:
1. Migrate to the Revamped Plugin Version (If Necessary)
The feature to natively implement Google Consent Mode v2 is only available in the newer, revamped version of the CookieYes plugin. If you are using a legacy version, you will need to migrate. The CookieYes team has provided a migration guide to assist with this process.
2. Implement the Consent Mode Code Snippet
For users on the correct plugin version, the primary solution is to implement Google Consent Mode. The CookieYes documentation outlines this process, specifically recommending Method 2 for implementation. This involves adding a custom code snippet to your site. It is crucial to ensure this script is updated to the v2 specification.
3. Verify Your Setup
After implementation, perform a new cookie scan on your website through the CookieYes interface to ensure all advertising cookies, particularly those from Google Ads/AdSense, are correctly detected and will be blocked prior to user consent.
Successfully configuring this will stop the warnings in your Google Ads interface and ensure your campaigns continue to perform for audiences in the EEA and UK.
