Add Velo to
Google Tag Manager.
Add Velo to your site through Google Tag Manager in minutes, or hand the whole job to an AI assistant. One Custom HTML tag and your consent banner plus Consent Mode v2 are live.
One tag in GTM. Live on every page.
Velo loads through a single Custom HTML tag in Google Tag Manager, so it fires before your other tags and powers Consent Mode v2 across your whole site.
Open your GTM container
Google Tag Manager is itself the tag manager, so there is nothing extra to install — just open the container already deployed on your site and add Velo as a new Custom HTML tag.
Add a Custom HTML tag
In GTM, create a new tag, choose Custom HTML, and paste the Velo snippet below.
Fire it on Consent Initialization
Set the trigger to Consent Initialization, All Pages so Velo loads first and Consent Mode v2 is set before anything else runs.
Submit and publish
Publish the container. Your banner is live. Pick the style, languages and regions in the Velo dashboard, no code changes needed.

Hand this to Claude or ChatGPT
Paste the prompt below into Claude or ChatGPT. It walks you through installing Velo on Google Tag Manager step by step, tailored to your setup.
I want to install the Velo cookie consent banner and Google Consent Mode v2 layer on my website using Google Tag Manager. Please walk me through it step by step for Google Tag Manager. The native method is to add a new Custom HTML tag inside my container: in tagmanager.google.com, open my container, click Tags, then New, choose Custom HTML, and paste this exactly: <script src="https://cdn.veloconsent.com/v1/velo.js" data-site="your-site-id" defer></script> Tell me which trigger to attach so it fires before consent is decided (Consent Initialization – All Pages), then how to Submit and Publish. Show me how to confirm the banner appears on a live page and that Consent Mode v2 is firing in Tag Assistant or the dataLayer. Ask me clarifying questions if my container setup or plan changes the steps.
Always review what an assistant changes before you publish. When in doubt, our team can install Velo for you.
