If your website runs a cookie consent banner (OneTrust, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Complianz, Google Consent Mode…), the banner decides when our script is allowed to load. This article shows which category to pick and how to set it up in the common tools.

Whether you need to wait for consent at all depends on where your visitors are and what your lawyer prefers. In the US and UK many businesses simply list us in the privacy policy and cookie notice. In the EU/EEA a consent banner is the norm. If you do gate us, use the Marketing category.

Most of these tools also read the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and keep marketing scripts off for visitors who send it. California details: 

Declining the banner should keep our script from loading. That is the point of the setup.

Visitors who decline or ignore the banner are not identified, so you will see fewer leads than without a banner. If you see no leads at all after setting this up, the script is probably blocked for everyone: check the category and run Verify again.

Just so you know, this isn't legal advice — we're not allowed to give legal advice — but it's what we know from the thousands of businesses using Happierleads.

Which consent category our script belongs in (Marketing, not Essential) and how to set it up in OneTrust, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Complianz and Google Tag Manager.
