If you have implemented our consent management system, PubGuru DataGuard for GDPR compliance, but you’re not getting the popup when testing, it can be frustrating. In this article, we want to show you how to fix this issue and get the consent management system working as it should.
There are three possible reasons you’re not getting the popup to work:
- Your computer is set to a non-EU timezone
- Your IP address is non-EU
- Your computer recognizes that you have consented before
Steps to properly test PubGuru DataGaurd popup:
Step 1: Change your computer timezone to EU
Step 2: Use a VPN to change your IP location to an EU country
Step 3: Delete the cookies that contain the information that you have consented before
While the site is open, launch devtools (Press F12 on your keyboard OR right click > inspect)
Click on Application tab > Cookies > click the domain
Look for “consentId” > delete
Look for “euconsent” > delete
Look for “gdpr” > delete
Step 4: Reload the site, and you should get the PubGuru DataGuard popup
