Google tags are initially blocked until consent is granted.
Using the Usercentrics CMP, tags within the Google Tag Manager (GTM) will need to be triggered only when consent for the correlating Data Processing Service (DPS) is given.
How we recommend setting up variables & triggers for this purpose in the GTM is documented.
Alternatively to using our recommended variable & trigger setup that can fire specific tags based on the consent status of specific Data Processing Services (DPS) in the Usercentrics CMP Configuration / SettingID, there are also other options of handling the triggering of tags, f.ex.
Triggering tags based on the consent state(s) of Google Consent Mode storage types (i.e. ad_storage) is possible for individual tags.
Third party templates may be used to “translate” the consent_status event of the Usercentrics CMP into signals for the Google Consent Mode storage types inside the GTM.
While these alternative approaches are possible to set up in connection with the Usercentrics CMP, they are not part of the generally recommended setup. They often require the assistance of a GTM expert.

Google Consent Mode
Google tags of relevant Google services are loaded before consent is collected.
They will not be adjusted like we recommend for other non-essential tags. Instead they will trigger “normally”, i.e. like so in the consent dialog appears
Tags send cookieless pings when cookie consent declined
Using Ucersentrics CMP, tags within GTM won’t need to be triggered
The Google tags have built-in consent checks for one or more of the following Google Consent Mode storage types:
ad_storage
ad_user_data
ad_personalization
analytics_storage
Example:
The tags will adjust their behavior accordingly.Important: Tags corresponding to non-essential, non-Google Data Processing Services (DPS) should continue to be adjusted as generally documented. The Advanced Google Consent Mode implementation described above is specifically for Google tags of relevant Google services.
