Does the t_gid cookie require consent?
t_gid is used for advertising, so under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules it may only be set after the visitor has agreed. Showing a banner is not enough on its own: the cookie must not be set before the visitor clicks accept.
Does your site set t_gid before consent?
A free scan loads your site the way a new visitor sees it and lists every cookie that is set before anyone has said yes, t_gid included.
How to put t_gid behind consent
Remove the Taboola snippet from your site and add your Taboola ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads Taboola only after the visitor has accepted advertising, so t_gid is never set before consent.
