Design a GDPR-style cookie banner with blocks that blocks tracking until the visitor agrees, with Google Consent Mode and an optional rule for visitors outside the EU.
Page Builder Sandwich Pro includes a cookie consent banner that you design with blocks, and that really blocks tracking until the visitor agrees.
banner: a bar at the bottom of the screen with a short text, Analytics and Marketing tick boxes, and Accept all, Save my choice and Necessary only** buttons. Edit it like any popup.
To design your own: link buttons to #consent-accept (everything), #consent-reject (necessary only) and #consent-save (the ticked boxes, which must be named analytics and marketing). A link to #consent-open anywhere on your site (in the footer, for example) shows the banner again, so a visitor can change their mind.
Until the visitor agrees:
not load, and no event is sent;
off, and so does any script written as <script type="text/plain" data-<prefix>-consent="analytics">, where <prefix> is the class prefix shown on the plugin's settings screen.
The choice is kept for 180 days (you can change this) in one cookie on your own site. If a visitor takes consent back, the page reloads so nothing that already ran keeps tracking.
By default every visitor must agree first. You can switch on Outside the EU, EEA and UK: load tracking until the visitor says no: it applies only when your host or CDN reports the visitor's country (for example Cloudflare's CF-IPCountry header) and that country is outside the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland. The banner is still shown, and a visitor whose country is unknown is treated as inside the EU.
The banner works with page caching: every visitor gets the same page, and their own choice is applied in their browser.
