What we check

Checks whether analytics measurement actually fires after "Accept".

Why it matters

If nothing fires after "Accept", the consent wiring is likely broken, you lose data despite opt-in.

Common causes

  • The tags hang on triggers that never fire after opt-in. The consent update arrives, but no event releases the tags.
  • The CMP blocks scripts via a type="text/plain" rewrite, and after a relaunch the unblocking no longer matches the changed script paths.
  • Tracking deliberately runs server-side and the web trigger was removed, then the finding is expected and not an error.
  • Tags only fire on the production domain, but a staging or preview URL was scanned.

How to fix it

Check the CMP triggers and tag sequencing: tags must actually fire after the consent update.
