Two routes, about five minutes, and one line on the consent screen that is worth more than everything else on it. This is the walkthrough rather than the explainer.
Almost every version of this diagram contains one arrow that Google does not allow. Removing it makes the funnel work better, which is the annoying part of the whole subject.

You cannot see most abandoned carts on WooCommerce, and the ones you can see are worth considerably more. Both facts come from the same place, and both change what you should send.
The queue refills the room without anybody in your business touching it. This is the operator’s half: the settings, their defaults, and the three that behave differently from how they read.
