What Velo does
on WordPress.
Paste one line into your header, through your theme or through the tag manager plugin you already run. It does not depend on a particular theme or builder, because it never touches PHP: it is the same script tag your other measurement uses.

on WordPress.
Three steps. Most installs take a few minutes when you can already publish changes to the site.

01
Add the tag
In Google Tag Manager, import the Velo CMP template and fire it on Consent Initialization – All Pages. No GTM on the site? One line in your header does the same job.

Denied by default, banner up
Velo sets the Google Consent Mode v2 defaults before your other tags run, denied where your region settings ask for opt in, then shows the banner. Google tags adjust to the choice and tags you gate on Velo's consent event wait for it. Every choice is saved to your consent records.

Verify, then publish
Check that the consent signals change in Tag Assistant when you accept and when you reject, then publish. Run the same check again whenever you change your tags or banner settings.

WordPress questions,
answered.
What teams putting a banner on WordPress ask first.
Do I need to install a WordPress plugin?
No. Velo is one script tag. Add it through Google Tag Manager, your theme's header, or the header field of the SEO or tag plugin you already run. Nothing new to keep updated, nothing that can conflict with the rest of your stack.
Does it work with WooCommerce and page builders?
The banner is plain JavaScript in your site's head, so it renders on every page your theme serves, shop pages included. It does not depend on any particular builder, theme or checkout.
Is this enough for GDPR?
Velo handles the banner side: region settings, equal Accept and Reject, per category choices and a record of every consent. Compliance also depends on how your tags are set up and what your privacy notice says, so review both with whoever advises you on GDPR.
Why does Consent Mode v2 matter for my site?
If you run Google Ads or GA4 for visitors in the EEA, Google expects consent signals, and Consent Mode v2 is how your Google tags receive them. The tags then adjust to each choice. Google may model some conversions from declined visitors when its eligibility and traffic conditions are met, with no guarantee.
