--------------------------- Title: Cookiebot by Usercentrics Maintains Gold Status as a Google CMP Partner for 2026 URL: https://www.cookiebot.com/en/cookiebot-google-gold-tier-2026/ --------------------------- # Cookiebot by Usercentrics Maintains Gold Status as a Google CMP Partner for 2026 Cookiebot by Usercentrics CMP maintains Gold Tier CMP Partner status. As Google Tag Gateway (GTG) adoption grows, Cookiebot by Usercentrics provides advanced capabilities to support customers using GTG, including proactive scanning for late consent signals, clear documentation on tag enrollment, and consent handling designed to help maintain measurement continuity. Customers using server-side tracking or GTG can review their current setup against these capabilities today. Marketing teams need reliable visibility into how their [consent management platform (CMP) ](/en/cookie-consent-solution/)handles visitor consent. That need is growing as Google's tagging infrastructure evolves. Cookiebot by Usercentrics has again met Google's requirements for its CMP Partner Program, maintaining Gold Tier status for 2026. This year's focus is on Google Tag Gateway (GTG), and how Cookiebot by Usercentrics supports customers with clear, reliable consent handling for tags that use GTG. Cookiebot by Usercentrics was among the first CMPs Google accepted into Google's CMP Partner Program when it launched in May 2023. It subsequently achieved Gold status as a Google CMP Partner excelling in customer service and support, with straightforward setup for [Google Consent Mode V2](/en/cookiebot-cmp-google-consent-mode/). After a visitor's consent choices are captured, Consent Mode signals those choices to Google services like Google Ads and Google Analytics. As Google Tag Gateway adoption grows, Cookiebot by Usercentrics has strengthened how our reliably detect and document consent handling for tags served through GTG. One-click content delivery network (CDN) injection through GTG can make it harder for customers to control tag load order. That, in turn, can affect when and how consent signals are applied. > "Tags get served in more ways than ever, client-side, server-side, through CDNs and gateways. Maintaining the Google CMP Partner Gold Tier status this year means customers can continue to rely on us to keep consent signals accurate and verifiable across all of them, without ever having to wonder whether their setup is compliant." — Eike Paulat, VP of Product at Usercentrics GmbH ## How Cookiebot by Usercentrics Supports Google Tag Gateway (GTG) To support customers using Google Tag Gateway, Cookiebot by Usercentrics provides advanced capabilities including proactive scanning for late consent signals, clear setup documentation, and robust consent handling to help maintain measurement continuity. - Proactive scanning and debug mode for late consent signals - Documentation on Google Tag Gateway and how to verify tag enrollment - Consent handling built to support measurement continuity ### Proactive scanning for late consent signals Cookiebot by Usercentrics proactively scans for consent signals flagged as late. If a signal is flagged, our platform directs customers to documentation to help them check whether the affected tag has adopted GTG. Where GTG adoption is confirmed, we point customers to our GTG documentation for next steps. ### Documentation on Google Tag Gateway and how to verify tag enrollment CMP documentation must now explain what GTG is and how it affects consent. That includes how one-click CDN injection can prevent customers from controlling tag load order. Documentation must link to Google's own GTG documentation. It must also explain how customers can verify whether a given tag is enrolled in GTG. Where a late consent signal is detected and GTG enrollment is confirmed, documentation must recommend one path forward. Customers should adopt advanced consent mode (U and C) with Data Transmission Controls and Global Consent Defaults. Alternatively, customers can move tags into a Google Tag Manager container they control. Advanced consent mode is compatible with manually configured GTG. ### Consent handling to help maintain measurement Our documentation guides customers to set Data Transmission Controls or Global Consent Defaults. Cookiebot by Usercentrics CMPs are built to grant consent by default outside regions where it's required to appear, such as the EEA. This helps businesses maintain measurement continuity across a range of technical conditions. ## What this means for customers Customers using Cookiebot by Usercentrics with server-side tagging or Google Tag Gateway can review their current setup against these new capabilities today. Our Google Consent Mode and Server-Side Tracking solution resources walk through how advanced consent mode and manually configured GTG work together. ## Preamble Cookiebot by Usercentrics CMP maintains Gold Tier CMP Partner status.
