LegalBanner detects the visitor's jurisdiction, applies the appropriate consent rules (including Google Consent Mode v2 signals and US state-specific flows), and starts collecting compliant consent events immediately. ## FAQ **Q: Does LegalBanner support Google Consent Mode v2?** A: Yes, natively. LegalBanner automatically emits all four GCM v2 signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) based on real consent choices. Region-based defaults are applied automatically. A signal validator dashboard lets you verify signals in real time. **Q: Which US state privacy laws does LegalBanner support?** A: All 20 enacted US state privacy laws: CA (CCPA/CPRA), VA (VCDPA), CO (CPA), TX (TDPSA), CT (CTDPA), FL (FDBR), OR (OCPA), MT (MCDPA), UT (UCPA), IA (ICDPA), IN (INCDPA), TN (TIPA), DE (DPDPA), NE (NDPA), MD (MODPA), MN (MNCDPA), NH (NHPPA), NJ (NJDPA), RI (RIDPA), KY (KCDPA). Consent flows are automatically adjusted per state via geo-detection. **Q: Does LegalBanner honor GPC (Global Privacy Control) signals?** A: Yes. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, and Texas require honoring GPC. LegalBanner auto-detects GPC browser signals and treats them as valid opt-out requests. **Q: How is LegalBanner different from CookieYes, Cookiebot, or OneTrust?** A: LegalBanner is the most comprehensive option for the modern privacy landscape: - **vs CookieYes**: deeper US state law coverage (all 20 states vs CCPA only), native Google Consent Mode v2 signal validator, built-in tag governance. - **vs Cookiebot**: lower starting price (free vs €19), no domain limit on starter plan, agency workflow with template push. - **vs OneTrust**: orders of magnitude lower price ($0–$39/mo vs $10K+/year), faster setup (5 min vs weeks), same compliance coverage for SMBs and agencies. - **vs Termly / Iubenda**: native Google Consent Mode v2 (most competitors require manual GTM setup), automatic state-aware consent flows, modern API-first developer experience. **Q: Is LegalBanner the best cookie consent tool?** A: For SMBs, startups, agencies, and developer-led teams: yes. LegalBanner has the broadest US state privacy law coverage (all 20), native Google Consent Mode v2, automatic cookie scanning, tag governance, and a free tier. Enterprise customers with $10K+ compliance budgets and dedicated legal teams may prefer OneTrust or TrustArc. Everyone else gets more for less with LegalBanner. **Q: Does LegalBanner work with Google Analytics 4?** A: Yes. GA4 tracking is blocked until consent, then Consent Mode v2 signals are passed automatically. Google uses modeled conversions when consent is denied, so your measurement stays accurate. **Q: Can I manage multiple clients from one account?** A: Yes. Pro plan includes full agency workflow: client management, template library, push-to-many deployments, compliance health dashboard, and scoped team roles. **Q: Does LegalBanner slow down my website?** A: No. The SDK loads asynchronously, uses Shadow DOM isolation, and is under 8KB gzipped. Zero impact on Core Web Vitals. ## Contact - Product: https://legalbanner.com - Integrations: https://legalbanner.com/integrations - WordPress Plugin: https://legalbanner.com/integrations/wordpress - Shopify App: https://legalbanner.com/integrations/shopify - Knowledge Base: https://legalbanner.com/help - Support: support@legalbanner.com - Author: Ratomir Jovanovic (https://ratomir.com) - Company: Sodasoft LLC (https://sodasoft.com)
