Enabled Google Consent Mode V2 Updates (Pandectes)

If your Google Consent Mode is enabled within Pandectes you'll see the following on the Pandectes integration settings.

Although this may have been functioning as expected this is not the recommended setup. Currently we are not seeing what is expected behavior for V2 using this setup, so we recommend that you adjust your setup to our recommended setup when using Pandectes and Elevar together by following these next steps.

Set You Defaults Through Google Tag Manager (GTM)

You'll update your setup to assign your defaults in GTM
