GTM Distribution

When a user makes a consent decision, ConsentForge automatically pushes events to your GTM dataLayer.

dataLayer events

On consent decision

{
  event: 'cf_consent',
  cf_consent: {
    necessary: true,
    analytics: true,
    marketing: false,
    functional: true
  }
}

On Consent Mode update

ConsentForge also fires the standard Consent Mode update:

gtag('consent', 'update', {
  analytics_storage: 'granted',
  ad_storage: 'denied',
  ad_user_data: 'denied',
  ad_personalization: 'denied'
});

Using cf_consent as a GTM trigger

You can use the cf_consent event as a custom event trigger in GTM to activate specific tags only after the relevant consent is given:

1. In GTM, go to Triggers → New → Custom Event
2. Event name: cf_consent
3. Use this trigger on tags that should fire after consent
