Check here how to add illow's banner through Google Tag Manager and ensure it runs before any other third-party script.

Plus, by doing it this way illow will initialize the Google Consent Mode V2 properly for you without the need for any extra configuration.



Okay, let's see how to do this!





Step by step

Important: If you have already integrated the banner some other way (by adding the code directly to your HTML or by adding it to GTM with the Custom HTML tag), remove it before starting these steps.


1. In Google Tag Manager, go to the Templates section and click on "Search Gallery".



2. Click on the magnifier icon at the upper right part of the screen and look for "illow". Select "illow Cookie CMP".



3. Click on "Add to workspace" and then confirm the installation when the pop-up opens.



What has just happened?

If you followed these three steps, you just installed our Tag Template which will do all the magic. It's as if you had installed a plugin on Wordpress. Now all we need to do is actually use it. Let's go!

  1. In Google Tag Manager, now go to the Tag section and click on "New".



2. Then click on the Tag configuration box and pick illow Cookie CMP tag type.



3. Paste the Site ID you see at illow's integration screen in the tag input.



4. Then click on the Triggering box and set Consent Initialization - All Pages as the trigger for the tag.



5. Add a name to the tag on the upper left and then click on "Save".
