How to use Google Tag Manager with EU Cookie Law

I’m using Google Tag Manager too and I modified the plugin to fire a custom event for GTM in case of click of the “consent” button or of presence of the cookie. Then I use this event as a trigger for a FB Pixel tag, for example.

The code to change is in ‘js/scripts.js’.

I’ve added the following function:
// GTM
function consentGivenGTMEvent() {
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
window.dataLayer.push({
‘event’: ‘euCookieConsentGiven’
});
}

and called it here:
if ( euCookieSet > 0) {
consentGivenGTMEvent(); // GTM
createCookie();
}

and here:
function euCookieConsent() {
consentGivenGTMEvent(); // GTM
createCookie();
if (autoBlock == 1) {
window.location = window.location;
}
}

I’m hoping the maintainers will add some support of this kind to GTM, it would be great.

I was wandering if we can find a workaround.

If you create a function in functions.php which read the euCookie cookie. If this exists then an event is created so that GTM can fire whatever tag.

Could it work?
