Why should you set up Google Consent Mode v2 for your Google Ads after March 2024?

Implementing Google Consent Mode v2 might seem optional. But for Google Ads advertisers, it’s a necessity – because not implementing it can be very costly.
Due to new updates to Consent Mode (commonly referred to as Consent Mode v2), your Google Ads will become significantly less effective after March 2024.
You will get worse marketing results out of the same Google Ads spend if you do not implement Google Consent Mode v2 before March 2024.
Therefore, If you do not set up Google Consent Mode v2, you won’t be able to properly use and do the following with your Google Ads anymore:
  • Remarketing audiences
  • Audience lists
  • Enhanced Conversions
Why is this a problem for your Google Ads? 
You will get worse marketing results out of the same Google Ads spend if you do not implement Google Consent Mode v2 before March 2024.
By missing Enhanced Conversions, you can quickly start getting less out of your Google Ads budget. For larger advertisers, the losses will probably be even bigger due to Google Ads having fewer data for modeling.
Your remarketing audiences, which often have a very high Return On Ad Spend (ROAS), will also stop collecting new data from users. Imagine losing the ability to remind your customer about the pair of shoes they left in their cart. Due to these changes, you simply cannot do remarketing towards your new site visitors after March 2024.
