By March 6th, it's crucial to implement Consent Mode to continue using essential tools like Remarketing Lists, Customer Match, Dynamic Remarketing, Lookalike Audiences, Customized "recent users" Audiences, New Customer Acquisition Goals (NCA), and more.
Who is affected?
If you conduct business within the European Economic Area / UK or your website visitors are individuals whose data falls under that jurisdiction, you may be required to implement Consent Mode. This requirement applies if you utilize Google's advertising services directly or via GA4.

What lies ahead?
Rumours suggest that by the end of Q4 2024, Consent Mode may also impact Conversion Tracking. Although this hasn't been officially announced, Google Webinars and Google Reps have been teasing this significant conversion tracking change for some time now. (from Thomas Eccel)

I recommend using either Complianz, Cookiebot, UserCentrics or Axept.io to enhance user-friendliness (no affiliate links). There are many solutions, and their pricing can vary based on sessions.
