It tells Google Ads what each visitor agreed to, and Google adjusts how its tags behave in response. Without it, every visitor who clicks "Reject" on your cookie banner becomes completely invisible to your Google Ads account. No conversion data, no remarketing signal, nothing for your bidding algorithms to work with. Why This Matters More Than You Think On average, about 65% of website visitors reject cookie tracking.

You are making budget decisions on half your actual data. The knock-on effect is worse than most people expect. Google Ads, GA4, DV360, and YouTube each handle missing consent data differently.  So instead of one consistent picture, you end up with four platforms producing four diff...
