Set Up Borlabs Cookie: Configure Consent and Tracking Correctly
We analyse which technologies transfer data, map them to the right consent categories, and configure Borlabs Cookie so tracking, external content, and important site functions load in a controlled way.
hechenbros analyses which technologies on your WordPress site transfer data, maps them to the right consent categories, and configures Borlabs Cookie so tracking, external content, and important site functions load in a controlled way — technically clean and documented.
What you get
Control over consent and tracking
Visitor decisions get passed on correctly, at a technical level, to every connected service.
External content blocked deliberately
YouTube, Google Maps, and similar embeds only appear after the required consent.
A reliable data foundation
Once consent is given, analytics and conversion tracking stay usable for your reporting.
A visible cookie banner isn't a clean consent solution on its own
Many WordPress sites show a choice while individual scripts and external services are already active beforehand. What matters isn't just whether a banner appears, but whether every visitor decision actually gets implemented correctly at a technical level.
Tracking starts too early
Google Analytics, Google Ads, or Meta Pixel can transfer data on the very first page view. Correct configuration controls these services based on the consent given.
External content loads without asking
YouTube videos, Google Maps, and other embeds can connect to third parties. Suitable placeholders hold this content back until consent is given.
Measurement stays off after consent
Overly strict or faulty blocking can interrupt analytics and conversion tracking entirely.
We analyse your existing Borlabs Cookie setup and show you which scripts, services, or embeds need adjusting.
Many consent errors go unnoticed day to day
The site works fine at first glance, and the GDPR cookie banner saves a choice. Whether that decision actually reaches every integration only becomes clear with a technical review.
Tracking gets loaded multiple times
A service can get loaded simultaneously by the theme, a WordPress plugin, and Google Tag Manager.
Tags ignore consent
Tags in Google Tag Manager need matching consent settings and triggers.
Categories don't match the services
Unclear or incorrect mappings make an informed decision harder.
Old solutions keep interfering
After switching, code, plugin settings, or parts of the previous banner can stay active.
We investigate whether tracking codes, tags, or old banner solutions are bypassing the consent given.
How we configure Borlabs Cookie for your website
Setting up Borlabs Cookie properly takes more than a standard configuration. First, it needs to be clear which cookies, scripts, and third parties are active on the WordPress site. Based on that, we configure categories, script blocking, and external content to fit your technical environment.
A technical inventory
We record existing cookies, tracking codes, and third-party connections. We supplement automatic scans with a manual review of plugins, theme, source code, and important page types.
Consent structure
Services get mapped to sensible categories like statistics, marketing, or external media.
Script blocking
Consent-requiring code gets tied to the relevant choice and held back until consent is given.
Banner and external content
The cookie banner gets styled to match your site and checked on mobile devices.
Consent and tracking as one connected system
A professional cookie consent solution for WordPress needs to pass every choice on to the right analytics and marketing services. That's why we review not just the Borlabs Cookie banner, but the tracking structure behind it too.
Google Analytics
We determine whether Google Analytics loads directly, via a plugin, or through Tag Manager, and check it for key events after consent.
Google Tag Manager
Tags, triggers, and variables need to respect the choice made in the GDPR cookie banner — we review the container structure and adjust relevant triggers.
Google Ads and Consent Mode v2
We configure the intended consent signals for ad storage, ad user data, and personalisation.
Meta Pixel
Meta Pixel can be embedded via plugins, theme code, or Tag Manager — we link it to marketing consent and check the relevant events.
Configuring Borlabs Cookie correctly for WooCommerce
A WooCommerce cookie banner must never get in the way of a sale. Cart, customer account, checkout, and required payment functions need to stay reliably available while optional analytics and marketing services respond to the consent given. We test the customer journey from the first product view through to order confirmation.
Product page
Product variants, prices, media, and embedded content get checked — external videos or marketing scripts must not interfere with product selection.
Cart
Items, quantity changes, and subtotals need to work reliably regardless of optional categories.
Checkout and payment
Forms, shipping methods, and payment providers get tested across different consent states.
Order confirmation
After a successful test order, we check that permitted analytics and marketing tags capture the purchase exactly once.
How it works
Analyse the website
We record existing cookies, scripts, plugins, and third-party connections — including source code, Google Tag Manager, and relevant page types.
Plan the consent structure
Together we clarify which services are needed and how they should be grouped technically.
Configure Borlabs Cookie
We set the base configuration, create providers and categories, and prepare the GDPR cookie banner.
Integrate services in a controlled way
Tracking codes, external media, and other integrations get connected to the intended consent choices.
Customise the banner
Colours, spacing, buttons, and appearance get matched to your site and checked across all devices.
Test functionality and consent behaviour
We check behaviour before a choice, after consent, after rejection, and after a later change.
Your business benefit
A technically correct cookie banner creates clarity about which services are active on your site and under what conditions they load. At the same time, your data foundation stays usable — Google Analytics, ad tags, and important conversion events can run and get checked in a controlled way once the right consent is given.
Less risk
Consent-requiring services get controlled technically, not just listed in the GDPR cookie banner. That reduces avoidable misconfigurations.
More reliable data
Analytics, ad tags, and conversion events get specifically verified after setup — for a more traceable foundation for campaigns and decisions.
A better user experience
Clear choices and suitable placeholders make blocked content easier to deal with. Important site functions stay accessible.
Less maintenance effort
A documented consent structure is easier to review and extend, without rebuilding the entire Borlabs setup.
Frequently asked
Is it enough to just install Borlabs Cookie?
No. Installation only provides the technical tool. After that, services need to be identified, categories set up, scripts controlled, external content blocked, and every choice scenario tested.
Can you configure Borlabs Cookie on an existing website?
Yes. We analyse your existing WordPress site and review plugins, theme code, tracking services, and external embeds. Based on that, we adapt the setup to your current technical environment.
Do you also replace an existing cookie banner?
Yes. We remove or disable the previous solution in a controlled way and check whether old code is still loading. That avoids parallel banners, duplicate integrations, and conflicting consent signals.
Do Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager keep working?
With correct configuration, both tools can keep working according to the chosen consent strategy. We review tags, triggers, and consent settings, and test key events after consent.
Do you support Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes. We set up the intended consent signals and connect them to compatible Google services. Which variant gets used depends on your internal requirements, measurement goals, and legal obligations.
Can Google Ads and Meta Pixel still capture conversions?
After the corresponding marketing consent, the intended conversion tags and pixel events should fire. We check the relevant actions and make sure conversions aren't unnecessarily captured multiple times.
Can YouTube and Google Maps be blocked before consent?
Yes. Videos, maps, and other external content can initially be replaced with a placeholder. The connection to the respective provider only gets established after the intended choice is made.
Is Borlabs Cookie suitable for WooCommerce?
Borlabs Cookie can be used in WooCommerce shops. We align the configuration with cart, checkout, payment providers, and shop extensions, and test the order flow with a test order.
Is an automatic cookie scan enough for setup?
No. A scan provides a helpful inventory but doesn't always detect dynamic tags, scripts that only fire occasionally, or integrations inside Google Tag Manager. That's why we supplement it with a manual technical review.
Will my website be fully GDPR-compliant afterward?
We ensure a technically careful consent implementation and reduce identifiable misconfigurations. A binding legal assessment, the classification of individual services, and reviewing your privacy policy text belong in the hands of qualified legal counsel.
How long does the Borlabs setup take?
The time required depends on the number of services, the state of the existing website, and the complexity of the tracking. After an initial review, you get a realistic estimate of the scope required.
