Google Consent Mode v2 Framework • Last Updated: March 2025
Cookies are compact text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by web browsers when accessing online resources. They enable the platform to remember your navigation state, preserve session security, and provide aggregated analytics.
JourneyAotearoa operates Google Consent Mode v2 (Advanced Setup). When you arrive on our site, all analytics and advertising storage parameters are set to denied by default.
