Overview

This guide is for updating your consent setup if you have Google Consent Mode Disabled within Pandectes Settings > Integrations

This means that you have set your default consent states using a tag inside Google Tag Manager (GTM). You'll need to update your template to account for changes with Consent Mode V2.
