Shield

Consent Change History

A permanent log of every change to what a consent banner shows visitors or what their consent means, with who made it and when, plus a row for every Publish Live.

Open it

Go to Shield > Consent and click the Change History icon in the setup's Actions column, or click Change History on the setup's edit page.

Rows are written automatically when a change is saved, from whichever page it was saved on. They cannot be edited or deleted. Newest changes are listed first. Times show in your browser's time zone.

Columns

ColumnWhat it shows
WhenWhen the change was saved
WhoThe user who saved it, or system when no user is recorded
What ChangedA summary of what moved. Publish rows carry a LIVE tag
VersionA short fingerprint of the setup's published content after the change. Two rows with the same fingerprint describe the same content

What gets recorded

A row is written only when the published surface actually changes:

RecordedNot recorded
Consent mode and region behaviorRenaming the setup
CategoriesPreview rebuilds
The cookie declaration, including Review Queue additions and removalsReview Queue dismissals, keeps and restores
Banner and preference center text, languages
Google Consent Mode settings, privacy signals (GPC / DNT)
Appearance
Publish Live (a LIVE row, even though no setting moved)

The LIVE rows answer "who put this configuration in front of visitors, and when". Pair them with the edit rows above them to see exactly what went live.

Troubleshooting

SymptomCause and fix
"No changes recorded yet."The setup has not been changed since change history started recording. The next save writes the first row
A save did not add a rowThe save did not change the published surface, for example only the title changed
Not legal advice

TagPipes monitors, configures and reports. It does not determine legal compliance and does not provide legal advice. Output is informational and reflects observed state at the time of observation. Confirm any regulatory interpretation with your counsel.
