Connect CookiePilot where your tags actually run
Use these guides to install CookiePilot on websites, stores and Google Tag Manager setups. Each page separates what is built into the product from the configuration you still need to check in your CMS, theme or tag container.
Platforms and stores
Start with the place where tags are loaded: CMS, store theme or GTM. Then set Consent Mode defaults to denied and test the public journey, especially product, cart, checkout and lead forms.
Google Tag Manager
Deploy CookiePilot through Google Tag Manager so Consent Mode starts before tags and GA4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel and other tools wait for user consent.
Open guide
WordPress
Add CookiePilot to WordPress without editing the theme. The plugin handles the cookie banner, Consent Mode v2, domain key and basic tracker checks on the public site.
Open guide
WooCommerce
A WooCommerce store must keep working after consent is rejected. CookiePilot keeps cart cookies as necessary and starts analytics and marketing tags according to the user's choice.
Open guide
Vendor presets and tag behaviour
Vendor presets explain consent categories, common requests and cookies. They help teams configure analytics and marketing tags without pretending to replace legal review.
Google Analytics 4
Set Google Analytics 4 as analytics and start measurement only after consent. CookiePilot keeps analytics_storage denied before the user's choice and helps separate cookieless pings from tracking cookies.
Open guide
Google Ads
Configure Google Ads so conversions and remarketing respect the user's choice. CookiePilot controls ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization before advertising tags run.
Open guide
Google Tag Manager
Use GTM as the deployment layer, but do not let tags start before the user's choice. CookiePilot publishes consent updates to the dataLayer and GTM rules start vendors only after the right consent.
Open guide
Meta Pixel
Hold Meta Pixel until marketing consent. The preset covers common Meta traces such as _fbp, _fbc, connect.facebook.net and facebook.com/tr, plus testing before and after acceptance.
Open guide
TikTok Pixel
TikTok Pixel collects marketing data, so it should wait for marketing consent. The preset helps block _ttp and analytics.tiktok.com before the user's choice and start events only after acceptance.
Open guide
Hotjar
Hotjar may belong to analytics or preferences depending on how you use heatmaps and session recordings. CookiePilot helps hold _hj cookies and the Hotjar script until the right consent is granted.
Open guide
Klaviyo
Klaviyo in a store usually combines newsletter forms, user identification and marketing automation. The preset helps separate newsletter opt-in from onsite tracking and starts tracking only after the right consent.
