What this integration does
The Google Analytics 4 plugin is a script-injection connector: enter your Measurement ID (the G-XXXXXXXXXXstring from your GA4 property) in Admin → Plugins → Google Analytics, and VeloCMS injects the gtag.js snippet into the head of every page on your blog. Two things happen on every request. First, Google Consent Mode v2's default-denied signals are always queued immediately — a no-cookie, no-network operation Google requires ahead of the tracking container. Second, the actual gtag.js load and config call either fire right away if your visitor has already accepted cookies, or wait behind your site's consent banner until they click Accept. There is no server-side reporting inside VeloCMS — GA4's own dashboard and reports remain the source of truth for your traffic data.
