If you want to understand the differences between Basic and Advanced modes, please see our support guide with a detailed explanation. The focus here is on enabling the Basic Mode quickly and effectively.
How to Enable Google Consent Mode - Basic in SecurePrivacy
- SecurePrivacy provides a domain framework category named Google consent mode (basic) to simplify implementing this mode and differentiate it from other options.
- This framework restores the standard SecurePrivacy method to block Google products such as advertising and analytics.
- When enabled, it prevents Google plugins from loading and collecting data from users who have not given consent, fulfilling an essential Google Consent Mode requirement.
