# Use Case 1 – Basic Use of Vendor Consent Mode Mapping

In this use case we look at the **basic integration** of Google Consent Mode via the **JENTIS Vendor settings**. This enables JENTIS to submit consent information to the Google Tag client side (`gtag`) based on vendor consent.

### Activating Consent Submission

To activate this optional feature, you must customize your vendors in JENTIS:

1. Navigate to **Legal Hub → Vendors** in your JENTIS account.

2. Select a Google-related vendor (e.g. **Google Analytics 4**, **Google Ads**) or any custom vendor.
3. Configure its **Consent Mode mapping options**.

Once activated, this setup will affect **all your client-side executed Google Tag libraries**, including:

* GA4
* Google Ads
* Other gtag-based services

✅ It works regardless of whether the tag was loaded by JENTIS or another system.

### The More the Merrier

Consent Mode updates can be triggered from **multiple sources**:

* Your **Consent Management Platform (CMP)**
* Your **Website** directly
* **JENTIS**

All three can submit the same consent signals to Google simultaneously.\
As long as the signals are **not contradictory** (all push “granted” or all push “denied”), there is no issue with multiple pushes.

### Vendor Settings in Detail

When editing a vendor (for example, **Google Analytics 4**), you will find options to activate individual Consent Mode strings.

#### Example Settings

If the vendor receives consent and the corresponding checkboxes are activated, JENTIS will automatically submit the matching consent signals to Google:

* **Analytics storage**
* **Ad storage**
* **Ad user data**
* **Ad personalization**

The value sent will depend on the vendor’s consent state:

* ✅ **Granted** → signal is “granted”
* ❌ **Denied** → signal is “denied”

> ⚠️ If a checkbox is not selected, JENTIS will not link this vendor’s consent status to that Consent Mode setting.

### No Linking to Google Consent Mode

If you do not wish to submit any Consent Mode information from JENTIS, simply **leave all checkboxes unticked**.

In this case:

* Consent Mode signals are not managed by JENTIS.
* JENTIS tracking and Google Consent Mode operate independently.
