In today's digital world, data is a precious commodity. Companies acquire and maintain a large amount of personal information from their customers, workers, and partners. However, as data breaches and privacy concerns have increased, the European Union (EU) has taken steps to protect its people' personal data.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new data protection law that became effective on May 25, 2018. It aspires to give EU citizens more control over their personal data while also simplifying the regulatory environment for international business by consolidating regulation inside the EU.
Google Consent Mode V2, due in March 2024, is more than just a technological update; it's a complete overhaul of how data is collected, stored, and used within Google's ecosystem, particularly in the privacy-sensitive regions of the European Economic Area (EEA).

Let's take a closer look at Consent Mode V2's complicated motions and how they affect businesses and website owners.
