Migrate Without Duplicate Banners
Replace an existing installation with a controlled cutover.
Content and code last checked 2026-10-06 by ConsentEase product documentation. This is a review of the written content and code, not a test on a live third-party platform.
Inventory the current setup
Identify every loader and consent provider: theme/head code, header plugins, GTM tags, native platform banners, pixels and cache optimisers. Record current settings and keep a recoverable copy before changing them.
Prepare the replacement
Configure categories, notices, signals and withdrawal controls in ConsentEase. Test on a staging surface or controlled preview with the real tracking configuration. A visual preview alone cannot validate tag behaviour.
Cut over
- Choose a single installation method and publication point.
- Remove or disable the superseded loader at that point; do not serve two competing consent UIs.
- Ensure defaults still run before Google tags.
- Publish website/container changes and purge applicable caches.
- Run the complete installation checklist and confirm the preferences link.
Existing choices
Do not assume another provider's stored consent can be imported or reused. ConsentEase does not provide a universal consent migration adapter. A changed provider, purpose or notice can require a new choice.
If checks fail
Restore the known working installation and its tag configuration. Keep troubleshooting evidence without sharing API keys or raw visitor identifiers. Do not delete consent logs to resolve an installation issue.
