You now have a fastest way to connect Secure Privacy as your consent management platform — directly inside the Google Ads or Google Tag Manager interface, using Google's built-in consent mode setup wizard. No manual gtag('consent', ...) code. No extra scripts to maintain.

Secure Privacy is listed as a fully integrated platform in Google's CMP picker, which means Google handles the consent signal wiring automatically. We have created a setup guide which walks through every step of that wizard — from opening the Admin tab on your Google tag, to selecting Secure Privacy under Fully integrated platforms (free tier available), to publishing your consent banner and verifying that ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization signals are passing correctly.

The article covers:

• Where to find the wizard — navigating to the Google tag Admin tab in Google Ads (via Data manager) or Google Tag Manager
• Step-by-step wizard walkthrough — all six screens, from "Set up consent mode" through to the confirmation screen
• Selecting Secure Privacy as your CMP — finding the free-tier option under Fully integrated platforms and completing the connection
• Publishing the consent banner — choosing between GTM container publishing and manual installation
• Testing consent signals — using Google's built-in signal tester to confirm the integration is live and correct
• Troubleshooting — what to check if the banner isn't detected or consent signals aren't registering

This is the simplest path to Google Consent Mode v2 compliance for sites using Google Ads or Analytics — no developer needed, no manual tag configuration, and the free tier means you can get started immediately.
