How to activate Consent mode v2

If you are currently using CookieHub, follow these steps to update to the latest version and activate Consent mode v2.

If you don't use the default description text for the marketing category, update it to comply with Google's EU user consent policy:

  1. Click the "Content" tab.
  2. Select "Categories" in the left menu.

  4. If you updated the description, scroll to the top and click "Save & publish" to deploy the changes.

The changes take up to 5 minutes to propagate around our CDN networks. After the 5 minutes have past, do a hard refresh to force the browser to receieve the updated version.
