Adding a cookie banner to your website
Learn how to add a cookie banner to your website and ask visitors for their consent to use cookies. A cookie banner appears when a visitor comes to the site.
First, remove the tags that store cookies from the Head, Body Start, and Body End sections of the site through Page Manager. Also, remove the Google Analytics ID from the Analytics section of the User Panel.
If there are no code tags installed on your website, it doesn't require a cookie banner.
Creating a cookie banner
Check the website language settings in the page manager. Texts are in English by default.
To enable the cookie banner, move the slider in the page manager to the on position.
Click Cookie Banner Settings to edit the settings.
A cookie banner consists of two views. First, the visitor will see a banner appearing stating that the site is using cookies. When a visitor clicks the edit cookie settings link, they can see more information and choose which cookies to use.
