# Advanced mode or basic mode

In Google Consent Mode, the main difference between **Advanced** and **Basic** modes lies in data collection behavior regarding user consent.

* **Advanced Consent Mode** allows limited, anonymous data collection even before consent is granted, tailoring data practices to user preferences by enabling data pings.
* **Basic Consent Mode** requires explicit user consent before any data is collected, ensuring a more straightforward compliance with privacy regulations.

Essentially, Advanced Mode offers a nuanced approach to data handling, while Basic Mode prioritizes explicit user permission.
