For this example, we are going to use the 'Facebook Pixel' tag:

Click on 'Edit icon'.

Remove the current trigger.

Click on 'Triggering'.

Choose the new trigger.
For Facebook Pixel, for example, we can choose 'Marketing Cookies'.

That means the Facebook Pixel script will only load when the user consents to the 'Marketing' category or clicks on 'Accept All'.

You can select the trigger you think fits best for each script.

Select the tag you want to add the addicional consent check.

For this example, we are going to use the 'Facebook Pixel' tag again:
