Integrating Securiti with Google Tag Manager

You can use the Google Tag Management system to honor cookie preferences submitted through the Securiti cookie consent management features. If your website uses Google Tag Manager to deploy third party libraries, it can prevent them from triggering until website visitors have given their consent to the use of cookies. You can connect your Google Tag Management System to our Cookie Consent Manager to control the blocking or firing of tags. Follow the procedures in the sections below.

Scan Your Website and Classify Cookies

First, scan your website for cookies. Then review the automatic cookie categorization from the scan results.
