Unsolved Can you accurately track lead source when using a cookie consent system?

[Marketing-EdJones]

With the introduction of cookie consent for third party analytics cookies, is it still possible to accurately track traffic source?

Legally, you can't create a tracking cookie for platforms like Analytics until consent is given. So...the associated Javascript tags can't fire.

Surely this means you can't collect any of the information on the user's original source...

Can anyone shed any light on this conundrum....greatly appreciated.

@beklerken unfortunately not, I was hoping for some technical insight into whether it's possible to track the original source when someone chooses to accept cookies.

It naturally returns to the web start. Of course, personal rights will also be valid on the internet, which is used extensively now. Attention should be paid to the framework of respect for people.
Analytics makes a restriction there, but you can see how long the user has come and stood there. When creating reports, it is useful to distinguish between using and not using cookies.
Everyone has rights as individuals and it's just a matter of learning to respect that.

Of course, this is my personal opinion, I hope it helped your question.
