+> Google enforced consent on March 6, 2024 for European Economic Area (EEA) users. Google Ads Classic won’t be updated to support Consent Mode due to its use of a Google legacy tag that, while still functional, is not actively maintained by Google and lacks support for privacy-durable solutions, including consent management. Segment recommends you to migrate to [Google Ads (Gtag) destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-adwords-new/) for web tracking and to the [Google Firebase destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/firebase/) for mobile tracking as soon as possible.

-## Consent mode
-[Consent mode](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9976101?hl=en){:target="_blank"} is a feature provided by Google in the context of its products, particularly the Gtag library and Google Analytics. As of March 6, 2024, Google announced that consent mode must function for European Economic Area (EEA) users, otherwise data from EEA users won't process. 
-
-Consent mode in the Gtag library and Google Analytics is designed to help website owners comply with privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. It allows website owners to adjust how these tools use and collect data based on user consent.
-
-With consent mode, you can configure your website to dynamically adjust the tracking behavior of the Gtag library and Google Analytics based on the user's consent status. If a user provides consent to data processing, both the Gtag library and Google Analytics can collect and use that data for analysis. If a user doesn't provide consent, both tools limit data collection to essential functions, helping businesses respect user privacy preferences.
-
-Consent mode may involve updates to your sources outside of Segment, such as incorporating a consent management system for consent functionality.
