Question 1

What is North Consent?

Accepted Answer

North Consent is a cookie consent platform built in Montreal by Riman Agency. It gives any website a bilingual English and French cookie banner, holds trackers until visitors agree, applies the right rule for Quebec, the rest of Canada, the US and the EU, sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals, and keeps proof of every choice.

Question 2

Is North Consent compliant with Quebec Law 25?

Accepted Answer

North Consent gives you what Law 25 expects from a website: tracking that is off by default, consent before it switches on, a refuse option as easy as accept, and records of each choice. Your privacy officer should still confirm your setup and your privacy policy.

Question 3

Do I need a developer?

Accepted Answer

No. You paste one line of code in your site header, or add it in Google Tag Manager. Most sites are live in about ten minutes.

Question 4

Does it work with Google Analytics and Google Ads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. North Consent sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization), so Google tags adjust to each visitor's choice.

Question 5

What happens if we go over our monthly banner views?

Accepted Answer

Nothing breaks. The banner keeps working and consent records are still saved. Only the view analytics pause until the 1st of the next month.

Question 6

Is the banner available in French?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every plan. It shows French or English based on your page language or the visitor's browser, and you can edit every word in both.

Question 7

Can visitors change their mind later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A small settings button stays on the page, and any link to #nc-settings, like a "Cookie settings" link in your footer, opens the preferences window.
