Goodbye, 3rd party cookies: This is how online tracking is changing
The countdown is on: prepare to phase out third-party cookies. The end of an era! Google Chrome, the last of the major browsers, will say goodbye to third-party cookies by the end of 2024.

Google Consent Mode v2: It’s that easy
In early 2024, Google’s March deadline for rolling out Consent Mode v2 to certain websites and apps is approaching. According to Google’s official announcement, all platforms targeting users within the EEA and the UK must integrate Google Consent Mode v2.
Our article on Google Consent Mode v2 shows you how you can implement this with consentmanager , a consent management platform certified by Google. In this guide, we’ll explain how to integrate Google Consent Mode v2, where you can find it in your dashboard, and go over Google’s Basic and Advanced implementation methods. If you’re pressed for time or want to get started with the implementation process, use this article as your first stop. Click here to get started:

CMP reports are now even clearer
Have you noticed it yet? With the current update, the dashboard of our CMP has changed (for customers who use the new interface – do you still have the old one? Then switch to the new interface at the bottom left under the navigation!). So that you can view relevant statistics even faster, you can now find the overview report directly on your dashboard. The usability of the CMP report has also been optimized – you can now find it first in the reporting navigation bar. Try it out now.
Deadline January 16, 2024: Are you ready for Google’s new requirements?
Do you as a company use one of Google’s products such as Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager or AdMob in the EEA and UK? Then you should mark January 16, 2024 red on your calendar. From this day forward, Google requires the use of a Google-certified IAB TCF CMP. If you already have a consentmanager CMP in use, you can breathe a sigh of relief because the consentmanager CMP is already one of the CMPs certified by Google. If not, you should act quickly. Our experts will be happy to advise you – simply make an appointment at: https://www.consentmanager.net/bookacall/

Limited availability between Christmas and New Year
We would like to point out that we are only available to a limited extent between Christmas and New Year. However, we will try to process your requests as quickly as possible. Please understand if there are delays.
That was 2023 – an exciting year is coming to an end!
The year is coming to an end and we are reviewing the events once again. In the area of data protection, new legal regulations have been introduced, which we have taken into account by further developing our consent management platform. At the OMR and DMEXCO we were able to welcome many familiar and new faces to our stand. New, exciting partnerships were concluded.
Our thanks also go to our loyal customers, partners and interested readers this year.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and come into the New Year healthy and full of energy! The consentmanager team will be ready for you again in 2024 with great enthusiasm.
Merry Christmas!
Your consentmanager team
