Overview

To update your Consentmo setup, you'll need to remove the previously provide script from Consentmo and add in a new script.

First, let's determine how you have set your initial state

In your theme code search for "consentmo", select the consentmoGDPR-gcm-blocking-scriptfile. Scroll through the file for search for "initialState": x as shown below. To keep the same settings you have now with the new setup you'll want to use this same value in the script you will add later.

Understanding initial state

Before consent:
These are the default settings that the page will use while waiting for the user’s consent status to be given.
When your customers visit your store, the integration we provided will initially run the default settings and populate the parameters in the dataLayer to granted or denied depending on how the option Initial State Of The Cookie Bar is set.

By default, the integration script we provide is set to block all categories and all the parameters will be set to denied.

If you would like to adjust your default before consent values simply change the value in your gcm-integration-script snippet and save.

Reference your new snippet in your theme.liquid file

In you theme.liquid file add the follow line to our theme.liquid directly below the opening <head> tag.

 {% render 'gcm-integration-script' %}

It should look like this when complete, be sure to Save your updatees

Add the gcm-integration-script code to your thank you page
