# How to use the dataLayer set by our app?

Integrating a consent management tool with your website involves understanding how the data layer works, especially when it comes to tracking user consent. 

Our app sets up a data layer that plays a crucial role in this process.

# How the Data Layer Works:

1. **Event Tracking**:
   - Upon enabling the consent bar, our app creates a **consent_status** event within the **dataLayer** object of your store.
   - This event tracks real-time consent status across different cookie categories.

2. **Understanding Consent Status**:
   - The data layer reflects the consent given by customers for various cookie groups.
   - For example, if a customer opts-in for all cookie categories, the dataLayer would show:

     `analytics: true`
     `functionality: true`
     `marketing: true`
     `necessary: true`

3. **Accessing the Data Layer**:

   - To view this data, navigate to your store, open the **Inspector tools > Console**, and type **dataLayer**.

4. **Integration with Google Tag Manager**:

   - Leverage the dataLayer in Google Tag Manager to trigger specific events based on user consent.

# Special Note for Regional Consent:

- **Non-EU & Brazil Browsing**:

  - If the consent bar is configured for EU & Brazil visitors only, and someone browses from outside these regions, the **consent_status** event will show **non_gdpr**. This indicates the visitor is from a non-EU or non-Brazil region.

Understanding and utilizing the data layer effectively ensures compliance and allows for tailored marketing strategies based on user consent.
