Ensure UTM Grabber Waits for User Consent
UTM attribution overview
This guide explains Ensure UTM Grabber Waits for User Consent. It helps you respect consent choices while preserving UTM parameters for compliant WordPress attribution and keep the marketing context needed for accurate reporting across forms, bookings, signups, and sales.
Ourr plugin functions by default. This implies that it essentially ignores the settings in CookiePro and collects data, regardless of the consent status.
If you wish to collect data irrespective of consent, then there's no need to adjust any settings.
Only proceed if you want UTM Grabber to get consent before gathering data. Please be aware that enabling this feature could result in missing data for those who did not provide consent.
However, if you wish to alter this behavior, it can be done through settings. You simply need to navigate to UTM > GDPR and click on the CookiePro checkbox. Once you've completed these steps, our plugin will monitor the consent and only collect data IF consent is given.
Please note that we utilize Cookiebot's event listener on the client side. This means that as soon as the user provides consent, the data collection will automatically initiate without the need for a page reload.

Troubleshooting guide for CookiePro by OneTrust UTM Tracking Integration. Fix common issues when UTM Grabber attribution is blocked or delayed by cookie consent.
Common issues
- UTMs not capturing after consent: Reload the page after accepting cookies, or visit with UTM params after consent is granted
- Partial consent: UTM Grabber typically requires marketing/statistics consent. Functional-only consent may not be enough
- Cached pages: Clear cache plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed) after changing consent settings
- Multiple consent plugins: Disable duplicate cookie plugins. Only one should manage consent
