Setting up Cookie Consent and Consent Mode v2 on the Khoroshop website
Good day!
It is necessary to implement a full-fledged cookie consent management banner on the website (Hорошоп platform) and perform all necessary settings for the correct data transfer between Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and other marketing services.
Currently, the cookie banner is implemented only formally: it is displayed to users, but it does not actually manage consents and does not transmit information about them to analytics and advertising systems.
For the EU market, such a solution does not comply with the current requirements of GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2. It is necessary to implement a full-fledged user consent management mechanism so that analytical and advertising tags work according to the provided permissions.
Important point: the site operates on the Hорошоп platform, so we are interested in experience integrating CMP solutions specifically with this platform and setting up Consent Mode v2 through Google Tag Manager.
We are considering the following options:
Free solution from Cookie Bar (cookie-bar.eu)
Cookiebot
Other CMP platforms that support GDPR and Consent Mode v2
Please advise:
Do you have experience implementing such solutions on Hорошоп?
Which service can you recommend for this project?
What is the estimated cost and timeline for the work?

Good day.
I am ready to technically set up Cookie Consent and Google Consent Mode v2 for the site on Khoroshop.
I will perform:
— connection of the CMP banner;
— user consent categories;
— transmission of consent signals to GTM;
— configuration of GA4 and Google Ads;
… — tag verification before and after consent is given.
I can start today. The estimated cost is $45–70 depending on the current GTM setup and the chosen CMP platform.
Please let me know if Google Tag Manager is already installed and if you have chosen a service for the cookie banner?

Good day, Alla!
I see that other specialists have already responded to your project, but I would like to propose something different so that you have the opportunity to communicate not only with GPT chats.
For now, I will refrain from a specific proposal, as it is important to understand the end goals of integrating Cookie Consent and Consent Mode v2. To this end, I ask you to clarify:
- Implementation timelines: do you need to launch quickly, or is there time for testing?
- Have you already chosen a CMP service, or are you considering different options?
- Is there a detailed technical specification or a formed vision for the setup?
- What volume of data is planned to be processed through Google Tag Manager and other services?
…
Factors affecting cost and timelines:
1. Use of an existing CMP service or development of a custom solution.
2. Availability of a ready technical specification.
3. Complexity of integration with marketing services such as Google Ads, Google Analytics 4.
4. Volume and type of data to be processed through Google Tag Manager.
5. Need for additional testing for GDPR compliance.
At the initial stage, it is important to agree on the vision of the final result, which will allow for the creation of a detailed action plan. I prefer an approach based on analyzing competitors' solutions and your wishes. This will help understand what solutions have already been implemented on other sites and how they can be improved.
The next step is to discuss the project and understand how well we fit together. Let's fix the details in correspondence or in a meeting to clarify all nuances and determine the optimal approach to implementing Cookie Consent and Consent Mode v2 on the Khoroshop platform.
I understand the importance of proper setup for compliance with GDPR requirements. I have experience integrating with Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, and Google Tag Manager, which will ensure correct data transmission and adherence to regulations.

196 There is a practically ready set of configurations for CMP, GTM, GA4, and Google Ads that can be quickly adapted for Horoshop and launched on your site (:
Yes, we have experience with Horoshop through GTM, DataLayer, GA4, Google Ads, and conversion tags.
For the service, I would recommend Cookiebot if the market is EU and advertising on Google is important.
Cookie-bar.eu should not be dismissed, but there is a nuance here - it is important not just the banner itself, but whether it correctly transmits ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization in Consent Mode v2.
Estimated cost - 15,000 UAH, timeframe - 3-5 working days.
…
What we will do - audit current tags, select CMP, set default consents before launching tags, map cookie categories, rules in GTM, check through Tag Assistant, GA4 DebugView, and Google Ads diagnostics.
From you, we need access to the Horoshop admin panel, GTM, GA4, and Google Ads; without this, the estimate may change slightly after verification.
I would like to clarify 2 points:
- Are all marketing tags currently going through GTM, or is part added separately in the Horoshop admin panel?
- Is the banner needed only for the EU, or for all visitors to the site?
Similar cases in terms of logic:
- https://business.ingello.com/prime-eva - e-commerce and technical integration of processes around sales
- https://business.ingello.com/eva - retail, data, system integrations, and scaling
- https://business.ingello.com/platforma - complex business systems where architecture and correct data transmission are important
!!The main thing - here it is necessary not just to show a cookie banner, but to manage consents before launching advertising and analytical tags!!
We can discuss the details here, I am available...

235 1 0 Hello. I specialize in Khoroshop, have significant experience and a large number of successful projects behind me.

452 Hello, Allo!
I am answering your questions right away:
1. Experience with Khoroshop: Yes. Khoroshop is a closed platform, so all the logic of Consent Mode v2 is implemented through Google Tag Manager without access to the website's code. Khoroshop supports connecting a GTM container and transmitting ecommerce events to the dataLayer.
2. Recommended service: Cookiebot (or CookieYes) — certified Google CMP platforms with a ready-made GTM template. They correctly transmit all 4 signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) and support GDPR. The Cookie Bar is free but not certified by Google and does not support Consent Mode v2 "out of the box" — more risks and manual configuration.
3. What I will do:
… — Set up consent_default (all denied) before loading any tags
— Connect CMP via GTM template (Cookiebot or another of your choice)
— Implement consent_update after user selection
— Check that GA4 and Google Ads respond to consents/denials correctly
— Test through GTM Preview + Chrome DevTools
Deadline: 2 days after access to GTM is provided.
Cost: 2800 UAH (CMP subscription is paid separately by you).

3481 49 2 Hello!
Consent Mode v2 on Khoroshop - implemented via GTM for similar tasks, the principle is the same for any platform with GTM support.
Recommendation: Cookiebot is more stable than the free Cookie Bar for production - better support for Consent Mode v2 out-of-the-box and less manual configuration of triggers in GTM.
What we do: connect CMP → GTM Consent Mode v2 configuration (consent_default, consent_update) → check that GA4 and Google Ads respond correctly to consent/decline.

13013 67 0 Hello, Allo! I have reviewed the task. I fully understand the problem: the current banner is functioning as a cosmetic element, and the GA4 and Google Ads tags are loading the same way, regardless of the user's choice. This is a critical error for the EU market, which could lead Google to restrict the operation of advertising accounts. I am ready to set everything up according to the rules.
Answers to your questions:
Experience with Horoshop: Yes, I have experience working with this platform. Since Horoshop is a closed system, we will not touch the website code. I will implement all the logic for blocking and updating consent through Google Tag Manager (GTM). By default, all tags will be in a denied status, and after clicking on the banner, a consent update signal will be sent with four parameters (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization).
Service recommendation: For the EU market, I strongly recommend Cookiebot (or CookieYes). These are certified Google CMP platforms. They have ready-made templates in GTM, correctly collect geo-settings under GDPR, and automatically transmit the necessary consent signals. The free Cookie Bar can technically be connected, but it is not certified by Google, does not support Consent Mode v2 "out of the box," and all the logic would have to be manually scripted, which increases the risk of errors before a Google audit.
Cost and timelines: The estimated cost of development is 15,000 UAH, and the execution time is 8-10 days (usually 1-2 working days after analyzing your GTM container).
…
Examples of my work (analytics setup, JS scripts, and optimization):
Work with SEO scripts and fast indexing: indexfast.pp.ua
Custom logic on JS and web tools: pctest.pp.ua, monitortest.pp.ua
Multi-page e-commerce project: mamamia.pp.ua

Please let me know if a GTM container has already been created for your site or if it needs to be set up from scratch. Message me, I am ready to help!

221 We can implement the integration of the CMP solution with the site on Khoroshop and set up Google Consent Mode v2 through Google Tag Manager. For Khoroshop, integration is possible through the standard GTM connection: the platform already supports the installation of the GTM container and the transmission of ecommerce events to the DataLayer. For this project, I would recommend Cookiebot or a similar CMP platform with official support for Google Consent Mode v2. The free Cookie Bar can technically be connected, but for full GDPR logic, consent storage, cookie categories, and correct transmission of consent signals to Google Ads/GA4, it is better to use Cookiebot/CookieYes/CookieScript. Estimated timeline: 1-2 working days after access is provided. Estimated cost of work: from 2000 to 4000 depending on the number of tags, languages of the site, current state of GTM/GA4/Google Ads, and the required depth of verification. CMP subscription is paid separately.

1014 3 0 Good day, Hello!
I see the essence: your banner is currently cosmetic — it collects clicks, but it does not send consent signals to Google, so GA4 and Ads load the same way, whether the user agreed or not. For the EU, this is the gap in Consent Mode v2, through which Google cuts advertising data.
GoodShop — a closed platform, there is almost no access to the code, so we keep the consent logic in Google Tag Manager, not in the site theme. This is where I implement Consent Mode v2: by default, all categories are denied, after the user's selection, a consent update goes through four signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization), and tags only fire after consent.
Regarding the service. For the EU market, I recommend Cookiebot — a certified Google CMP with a ready GTM template, it sends all four signals and provides a correct banner under GDPR. Cookie Bar is free, but not certified and does not support Consent Mode v2 out of the box — signals would have to be collected manually, which means more work and weaker guarantees. If the priority is peace of mind with GDPR — we take Cookiebot.
One clarification to give an accurate timeline: do you already have your own GTM container on the site, or should it be set up from scratch?
…
Approximately 2-3 days. I am taking it at the starting price — I am gathering initial reviews here, so I am making it beneficial. Before the release, I will show in Tag Assistant that the consents are actually being sent, so you can see the result before publication.

232 Hello! I was setting up Consent Mode v2 through GTM — so that GA4 and Google Ads correctly receive consents, and until the user's consent, the tags are in denied. I can either use a ready-made CMP (Cookiebot or CookieFirst, they can be integrated on top of Khoroshop), or create a custom one based on your design. Which option do you prefer — a ready-made solution or a custom one? This will affect the timeline, approximately 3-4 days.

7123 53 0 Worked with Cookie Consent and Consent Mode v2 on different platforms, including sites with GTM and GA4. The main thing here is to correctly set up the transmission of consent_update signals in the dataLayer before tag initialization; otherwise, GA4 and Ads will ignore consent or lose conversions. There are limitations on customizing the head in Goodshop, so I'm curious if you have access to arbitrary JS/HTML in the theme or only through the platform's built-in tools?

552 3 0 Good day, Allo!
Currently, the banner you have is just cosmetic: it collects clicks but does not send consent signals, so GA4 and Google Ads load the same way — whether the user agreed or not. Because of this, Consent Mode v2 is essentially not working, which is specifically required by Google for advertising in the EU.
The essence of the work is to link the banner with Consent Mode v2 through GTM: by default, all categories are denied, after user selection a consent update is sent for four signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization), and all tags only fire after the appropriate consent. A specific nuance of Khoroshop is that it is a closed platform with limited access to the code, so I will carefully move all consent logic to GTM.
Regarding your questions:
Which service. For the EU market, I would definitely recommend a certified Google CMP — Cookiebot (or CookieFirst). It has a ready-made GTM template, it automatically sends all four consent signals and provides a correct banner under GDPR — less risk from Google. The Cookie Bar is free, but it is just a simple banner: it is not certified by Google and does not support Consent Mode v2 "out of the box." With it, all signals would have to be collected manually in GTM — this means more work and a weaker guarantee of compliance. If the goal is peace of mind with GDPR, we take Cookiebot; if the budget is critical — we will do it on Cookie Bar, but I honestly warn about the limitations.
…
What is included:
- Connecting CMP and a correct banner (categories, languages, accept/reject/customize);
- Consent Mode v2 in GTM: default denied, consent update, linking all tags (GA4, Google Ads, remarketing) through consent triggers;
- Checking in Tag Assistant and Consent Mode debug that the signals actually reach GA4 and Google Ads.
Estimated: 5,000–8,000 UAH, 3–5 days. The range depends on the CMP — faster with Cookiebot, more manual work with Cookie Bar. Ready to discuss the details.
