# Install Velo — cookie banner + Google Consent Mode v2 You are installing Velo, a consent management platform, on the user's website. There are two install paths. Prefer Google Tag Manager whenever the site runs it — one tag in the container, no code on the page. The direct snippet is the fallback for sites without GTM. ## Steps 1. Check whether the site runs Google Tag Manager: look for a GTM-XXXXXXX container id, a googletagmanager.com/gtm.js request, or a first party proxy of it, in the page source or codebase. 2. GTM present? Install through it (recommended). In the container: - Templates → Search Gallery → add "Velo Consent Banner (Consent Mode v2)" by Amplio Data to the workspace. - Create a tag from the template and set the user's Velo site id; pick the light or dark theme. - Fire it on the Consent Initialization – All Pages trigger. Never Initialization or All Pages — both run too late for consent defaults. - Preview, then Submit and Publish. Full guide: https://veloconsent.com/google-tag-manager 3. No GTM? Place this snippet in the , before any analytics or marketing tags — that order matters, Velo must set consent defaults first: The platform guides below show exactly where it goes. 4. Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with the user's site id from the Velo dashboard. If they do not have one yet, send them to https://veloconsent.com/get-started 5. Install ONE path, never both — two installs means two banners. ## Platform guides | Platform | Guide | | --- | --- | | WordPress | https://veloconsent.com/wordpress | | Shopify | https://veloconsent.com/shopify | | Webflow | https://veloconsent.com/webflow | | Framer | https://veloconsent.com/framer | | Wix | https://veloconsent.com/wix | | Squarespace | https://veloconsent.com/squarespace | | Drupal | https://veloconsent.com/drupal | | HubSpot | https://veloconsent.com/hubspot | | Square Online | https://veloconsent.com/square | | Google Tag Manager | https://veloconsent.com/google-tag-manager | | Duda | https://veloconsent.com/duda | | Shopware | https://veloconsent.com/shopware | | BigCommerce | https://veloconsent.com/bigcommerce | | Custom stack or anything else | https://veloconsent.com/developers | ## Verify - The banner renders on a fresh page load. - Before the visitor chooses, Google consent defaults are denied in the EEA and the UK. - In a GTM install, the Velo tag fires on Consent Initialization before every other tag. - Marketing and analytics tags fire only after consent is granted. - window.Velo is defined, and Velo.open() reopens the preferences panel.
