DEBtech Consent Manager
Google Funding Choices Consent Monitoring, Analytics & Revenue Dashboard for XenForo
What does this addon do?
This addon turns Google Funding Choices into a fully monitored consent management system. Google FC handles the banner and consent collection — this addon provides everything Google doesn't: real-time analytics, revenue tracking, cookie auditing, compliance reporting and automated alerts. All directly inside your XenForo admin panel.
How does it work?
Google Funding Choices (CMP ID 300) displays the consent banner to your visitors. The addon listens to Google's TCF API and tracks every consent interaction — accept, reject or custom choice. It logs device types, referrer sources and purpose selections, then visualizes everything in a modern analytics dashboard. If you connect your Google AdSense/Ad Manager API credentials, you also get live revenue data and forecasts based on your consent rates.
