Question 1

What is Google Consent Mode v2?

Accepted Answer

It is Google's standard in which your tags (GA4, Ads) adapt their behaviour to the user's consent. Without it you lose measurement data and the ability to run remarketing in the EEA. CookieHug implements it automatically.

Question 2

What is the anomaly radar?

Accepted Answer

Our script visits your site every night anyway, so we check whether anything has changed that looks questionable. If the site looks or behaves differently, you get an email — we flag it so you can verify on the site that everything is in order.

Question 3

Does the anomaly radar replace site security?

Accepted Answer

No. We will not protect you from a break-in — that is what updates, backups and a firewall are for. But if someone does get in and swaps content, injects a script or starts serving cloaked pages (different content for Google than for people), you will find out quickly instead of a week or two later, when the problem is already large.

Question 4

Does it work outside WordPress?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The script is CMS-agnostic — it works on WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Joomla, Drupal, Webflow and hand-built sites. For WordPress and PrestaShop we also provide ready-made plugins.

Question 5

Do I need a cookie banner?

Accepted Answer

If you use cookies beyond strictly necessary ones (analytics, marketing), GDPR and telecommunications law require the user's prior consent. A banner is the simplest way to collect and document it.

Question 6

How long does deployment take?

Accepted Answer

About 30 seconds: add your domain, copy one line of code into the <head> section, done. The scan starts immediately and the banner appears automatically. You can also use our ready-made plugins and modules for WordPress and PrestaShop.

Question 7

How many pages does CookieHug scan, and are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

CookieHug is one of the few services that—even in the free tier for a domain configured with Consent Mode V2—scans the site daily, visiting up to 10 different subpages. It automatically retrieves the sitemap and visits the homepage and various other subpages on a daily basis. It makes no difference whether you have 5, 50, 500, or 5,000 subpages; your fee remains unchanged, it will either be free or based on your paid plan. We do not scan every single page by default, as doing so would be resource-intensive and serve little practical purpose.

Question 8

Is CookieHug.com compliant with Consent Mode V2?

Accepted Answer

CookieHug.com is fully compliant with Consent Mode V2 and fully respects the signals and privacy of users who do not wish to be tracked. At the same time, it fulfills the legal requirement to provide information about cookies on the website.
