Data Layer VariablesCopy Anchor Link

The state of each cookie category is stored in data layer variables, enabling you to customize tag loading based on user selections. Here are the variables:

• cookiehub_necessary: A Boolean variable with a default value of "false."
• cookiehub_preferences: A Boolean variable with a default value of "false."
• cookiehub_analytics: A Boolean variable with a default value of "false."
• cookiehub_marketing: A Boolean variable with a default value of "false."
• cookiehub_uncategorized: A Boolean variable with a default value of "false."
• cookiehub_allowsale: A Boolean variable set to false if the user has opted-out of selling and sharing of personal information. This variable is linked to the allow sale function when the IAB GPP/CCPA policy framework is in use. When other policy frameworks are in use, the value will return the consent state of the marketing category as fallback. This variable is available in version >=2.8.2.

These variables offer valuable insights into the user's consent choices, allowing you to tailor your tag management in Google Tag Manager based on the specific preferences and interactions of your website visitors.
