Google Consent Mode v2 Notice
Effective date: November 12, 2026
This notice explains how AI Reviews (8978 Tech & Digital Group, Inc.) uses Google Consent Mode v2 on ai-reviews.biz.
1. What Google Consent Mode is
Google Consent Mode v2 is a way for a website to tell Google tags (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads) what a visitor has agreed to. It is a technical signal; it does not replace our cookie banner or the notices in our Cookie, Tracking & Consent Policy and Privacy Policy.
2. The four signals
- ad_storage — whether advertising cookies may be stored;
- analytics_storage — whether analytics cookies may be stored;
- ad_user_data — whether user data may be sent to Google for advertising;
- ad_personalization — whether data may be used for personalized advertising.
3. How we set them
- All four signals are set to denied by default, before any Google tag loads.
- If you accept Analytics in our cookie banner, analytics_storage is set to granted.
- If you accept Advertising, ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are set to granted.
- If you reject a category, or later withdraw consent through Cookie settings in the footer, the matching signals are set (or set back) to denied.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the advertising signals stay denied.
Analytics consent and advertising consent are separate: agreeing to one does not agree to the other.
4. What happens when signals are denied
We use Google tags in a way that does not set analytics or advertising cookies while the matching signal is denied. Google may still receive basic, cookieless requests (such as the fact that a page was loaded) as described in Google's documentation, which Google uses under its own terms.
5. Other tags
Consent Mode only applies to Google tags. Other optional tools, such as the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, are loaded by our cookie banner only after you accept the matching category. Tags that businesses place on their own websites, including sites that show AI Reviews widgets, are their responsibility.
6. Changes
We will update this notice and its effective date if our use of Google tags changes.
