# How to wait for consent before UTM Grabber collects the data

## UTM attribution overview

This guide explains How to wait for consent before UTM Grabber collects the data. 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.

Please proceed with this step only if you want the UTM Grabber to require user consent before collecting data.

To enable waiting for consent, navigate to UTM > GDPR and select the "GDPR Cookie Consent" checkbox. After saving the form, our plugin will then wait for the user's acceptance of the consent before collecting data.

## UTM attribution overview

### 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
