Enabling Consent Mode:
By enabling consent mode, your marketing data processing will depend on:
- Your consent platform configuration
- How your visitors interact with the cookie banner
- What geolocation they visit the store from
That's why you may see a decrease in data across your marketing platforms and lower marketing campaign performance.
For EU Stores: If you are making your tracking setup consent compliant for the first time, you may see a 10-80% decrease in data across all of your marketing destinations.
