Added
- New “CMP script attributes” section on the Consent settings page lets you toggle Cookiebot, Iubenda, and CookieYes script-blocking attributes with one click and add a custom attribute for any other CMP — no PHP filters required.
- Fresh installs auto-detect a known CMP plugin (Cookiebot, Iubenda, CookieYes) and pre-select the matching toggle so the right attribute is on from day one.
- New “Script gating” mode on the Consent settings page lets you choose between always loading GTM, letting it load under Consent Mode v2 control, or holding it back entirely until consent is granted. Default stays as “Always load” so existing installs see no change.
- Strong-block mode masks the Google Tag Manager container until visitors consent. Works alongside any CMP and falls back gracefully when no consent signal arrives.
- Power users can override which consent categories must be granted before strong-block mode unmasks GTM via the new
gtmkit_strong_block_required_categories filter.
window.gtmkit.consent.state exposes the current consent state so partner scripts and integrators can inspect it without subscribing to events.- New developer hooks let CMP integrations and consent add-ons plug into GTM Kit’s consent flow without forking the plugin — sites running Cookiebot, CookieYes, WP Consent API or in-house consent solutions can now feed their state straight into GTM Kit.
- Server-side broadcast
gtmkit_consent_updated so other plugins can react to consent state changes without polling.
- Per-event
gtmkit_event_should_defer filter so future deferral features can hold individual events back when consent is missing.
Fixed
- Eliminate “dependencies that are not registered: gtmkit-container” warnings logged by WordPress 6.9.1+ on sites that have GTM Kit’s container active.
Changed
- The Cookiebot script attribute (
data-cookieconsent="ignore") is now configurable via Settings → Consent → CMP script attributes. Existing installs keep the attribute on by default to preserve current behavior; turn it off explicitly if you do not use Cookiebot.
