## Solution

Google Consent Mode v2 is required for Google Ads in the EU/EEA (March 2024). It allows Google tags to adjust behavior based on user consent. Implement with `gtag('consent', 'default', {...})` before loading Google tags. Set ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. Update on user consent.
