Add and configure services

2 min read Updated June 2026

Services are the trackers and tools you want ClearConsent to manage — Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, a chat widget, and so on. You list them, sort them into categories, and decide which ones wait for consent.

Open the Services list

Go to Settings → ClearConsent → Services. You’ll see the services you’ve added and a button to add a new one.

The ClearConsent Services tab listing managed services with their categories

Add a service

Click Add service and give it:

  • A name visitors will recognise (for example, “Google Analytics”).
  • A slug — the short identifier you use when tagging a script (for example, google-analytics). This is what links a script to its service.
  • A category — the purpose it falls under, such as Analytics or Marketing.

Categories and the “Default” toggle

Categories group services by purpose in the preferences modal. For each service you can decide whether it is on by default (granted unless the visitor turns it off) or off until the visitor opts in. Leaving optional services off until consent is the more conservative choice.

Listing a service isn’t the same as blocking it
Adding a service tells ClearConsent it exists and which category it belongs to. To actually hold its script until consent, tag the script with the service slug — see Tag a custom script for consent — or let Google Consent Mode / Script Manager handle it.

How many services can I add?

The free plan manages up to three services. ClearConsent Pro removes that limit, so you can list as many trackers as your site uses.
