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.
