Cookie banner
Ask for consent, block known trackers until the visitor agrees and keep a log of choices.
- Cookie banner overviewHow the Privacyboard cookie banner works: it asks first, blocks known trackers until consent, supports Google Consent Mode v2 and keeps a log of every choice. Part of the Pro plan.
- Set up the cookie bannerStep-by-step guided setup for the cookie banner: switch it on, list your services, style the banner, install it and run the final check.
- Install the bannerAdd the Privacyboard cookie banner script to Webflow, Google Tag Manager, Shopify, WordPress or any site, and verify it is the first script on your pages.
- Services and categoriesDeclare the services your website uses and sort them into necessary, preferences, statistics and marketing. Learn how the declaration drives blocking, the cookie policy and removal of cookies.
- Blocking before consentHow the cookie banner holds back known analytics and marketing tools until the visitor consents, which loading methods it can and cannot intercept, and how to close the gaps.
- Google Consent Mode v2The cookie banner sets Google Consent Mode v2 to denied by default and updates it with the visitor's choice. Learn the signal mapping and the options for Google tags.
- Banner appearance and textsPosition, theme, colours, languages, texts and how long a choice is kept. Learn how to customise the cookie banner and let visitors reopen their choice.
- Site checkScan your website to list known services, check what loads in a real browser before and after consent, and receive an automatic weekly check by email.
- Consent logWhat the cookie consent log records, how long it is kept, how to export it and why it contains no IP address.
- Versions and asking visitors againEvery published banner is a numbered version. Learn how to review history, ask all visitors for a new choice when services change, and take the banner offline.
- Cloudflare ZarazConnect the cookie banner to Cloudflare Zaraz consent management so tools Zaraz loads on the server wait for the visitor's choice.
- Limits and compatibilityWhat the cookie banner does not do: it is not a Google-certified CMP, does not implement IAB TCF, cannot intercept some loading methods and depends on the browser for cookie lifetimes.
- Cookie banner troubleshootingFix common cookie banner problems: it does not appear, trackers load before consent, the choice is not saved, Google tags ignore the choice, or the site check shows warnings.
