LET'S DISCUSS
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Store Owners Trust Us With Consent
A banner that blocks the wrong scripts breaks your data, and one that blocks too few is a risk, so we test what actually fires. These are the habits we bring to CCPA compliance for a website and GDPR alike.
Tested behavior
We check what loads before and after visitors respond.
Region-aware defaults
Rules differ for the EU, UK and California, so we configure each.
Analytics protected
Consent Mode v2 keeps GA4 and ads working properly.
Clear banner wording
Visitors understand what they are choosing.
No legal advice claims
We configure the tools and recommend you review policies with counsel.
Ongoing option
Monitoring is available as a monthly plan.
08Overview
What does cookie consent management involve, and how do I set it up without breaking my tracking?
DeveloperLook installs and configures a consent management platform, usually CookieYes for smaller stores, Cookiebot or OneTrust for larger multi-jurisdiction needs, sets region-specific defaults for GDPR's opt-in requirement and CCPA/CPRA's opt-out requirement, and wires up Google Consent Mode v2 so GA4 and ad tracking keep working instead of breaking once a visitor makes a choice. Setup starts at $999, with ongoing monitoring available.
- Starting price
- From $999 one-time setup, ongoing monitoring available at $199/month
- Typical timeline
- 3-5 business days for a standard store
- Recommended platform
- CookieYes for most small-mid ecommerce stores, Cookiebot or OneTrust for larger multi-jurisdiction needs
- Google Consent Mode v2
- Requires ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization signals for GA4 and Google Ads
- Default tag state
- Tags start denied until a visitor responds, then update dynamically based on their choice
- GDPR vs CCPA/CPRA
- GDPR requires opt-in consent before tracking, CCPA/CPRA requires an opt-out mechanism instead
- Ongoing maintenance

- Setup includes
- Banner, region-specific defaults, GTM consent initialization sequencing, and Tag Assistant testing
Who it's for
Ecommerce stores serving EU or California customers
You have traffic or customers from the EU or California and are exposed to GDPR or CCPA/CPRA requirements you haven't formally addressed.
Stores running Google or Meta ads
You rely on GA4 and Google or Meta ad tracking for attribution and want that tracking to keep working correctly under Google's Consent Mode v2 requirements.
Sites with an unconfigured cookie banner
You installed a free cookie banner plugin years ago and have no idea whether it actually blocks tracking scripts until consent is given.
Businesses facing a compliance deadline
A client, marketplace, or ad platform is requiring proof of privacy compliance before you can continue running campaigns or maintain an account.
Multi-region stores
You sell in multiple countries or states with different privacy laws and need region-specific consent defaults rather than a one-size-fits-all banner.
Not a fit for
If your concern is data breaches or unauthorized access rather than tracking consent, our Website Security Audit Services or Web Application Penetration Testing Services pages fit better.
If you just need a generic cookie notice with no real consent logic, a free banner plugin may be enough, this service is for stores that need tracking to actually respect visitor choices.
If you need formal legal review of your privacy policy or terms of service, that's a job for a privacy attorney, we handle the technical implementation, not legal drafting.

What is cookie consent management?
It's the system that shows visitors a banner explaining what your site tracks, records their choice by category (analytics, advertising, functional), and then actually blocks or allows those scripts based on that choice, rather than just displaying a notice with no real enforcement.
How do I make my website GDPR compliant?
GDPR requires opt-in consent before any non-essential tracking runs for EU visitors, meaning scripts like GA4 and ad pixels must stay blocked by default until someone actively agrees. We configure your consent platform's default state and geotargeting rules to enforce this correctly.
How do I make my website CCPA and CPRA compliant?
CCPA and CPRA work differently from GDPR, they require an opt-out mechanism, typically a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link, rather than blocking tracking by default. We configure region-specific rules so California visitors get the correct opt-out flow instead of a GDPR-style opt-in banner.
How does consent management affect tracking and ads?
Without proper consent signals, Google and Meta increasingly restrict or degrade tracking and conversion data. Google Consent Mode v2 lets your tags send cookieless pings even before consent and adjust automatically afterward, so you keep usable data instead of losing it entirely.
How much does consent management setup cost?
Setup starts at $999 for a standard store, covering the consent platform, banner configuration, and Consent Mode v2 wiring for GA4 and ad tracking. Ongoing compliance monitoring is available separately since requirements change over time.
Which consent platform should I use?
For most small to mid-size ecommerce stores, CookieYes offers the best balance of price and features. Larger stores or those managing multiple jurisdictions and brands often need Cookiebot or OneTrust, which handle more complex multi-site and enterprise requirements.
How do I set consent mode for GA4 and Meta?
We configure your consent platform to fire Google's Consent Mode v2 signals, ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization, through Google Tag Manager's consent initialization trigger, so GA4 and Google Ads tags respect visitor choices correctly. Meta's pixel uses its own consent parameters, which we wire up separately.
How do I keep compliance up to date?
Privacy regulations and platform requirements change regularly, Google has updated Consent Mode requirements multiple times already. Our ongoing monitoring plan checks your setup against current requirements and updates your configuration when rules or platforms change.
