Customize the banner

The banner editor lives in your site, Banner tab. On the left, the settings; on the right, a live preview reflecting every change. Your changes are saved as a draft on their own (the indicator goes from "Unsaved changes" to "Saved"); they only reach your visitors when you click Deploy, top right. In simple mode, only the Appearance card is shown; the Advanced options switch reveals the Appearance, Content, Categories & cookies, and Cookie scanner tabs.

Appearance

The floating button is the visitor's way back: it is how the preferences reopen to change or withdraw a consent. If you hide it, offer another door: a "Manage my cookies" link in your footer, wired to the JavaScript API.

Advanced styling

In advanced mode, the Advanced style card of the Appearance tab refines the look without writing CSS: rounded corners (global or per corner), background opacity and frosted glass effect, border and shadow, typography (system, serif, monospace or rounded font; title and text sizes and weights), button style (solid, gradient or pill), and your logo: uploaded or by URL, in SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF up to 4 MB, resized and converted to weigh at most 96 KB, with a height from 16 to 64 px and an alignment of your choice. A Custom CSS field remains available as an escape hatch for special cases.

Content

The Content tab exposes every text of the banner: the notice's title and description, the Accept, Reject and Settings button labels, the preference center's title, the save button, the "Always active" label of necessary cookies, the revisit widget's title, and the secondary labels (show or hide cookies, close, proof download link). Added to those are the texts of the special regimes: the notice's dismiss button, the "Do Not Sell or Share" link and the "GPC opt-out honored" badge. Write them in your site's language; a courteous tone and clarity remain your best allies for informed consent.

Categories and cookies

Five categories are provided at the start: necessary, functional, analytics, performance and advertising. You can add and remove some, and tune each one:

• Strictly necessary: the category is always active and cannot be refused (reserve it for genuinely essential cookies).
• GPC opt-out: the category is refused outright for visitors whose browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, as long as they have not made an explicit choice.
• Sensitive data: the category is never granted implicitly, even under an opt-out regime.
• Blocked URL patterns: the request patterns the banner neutralizes as long as the category is not consented.
• Gate selectors: the page elements (embedded videos, maps) veiled while consent is missing.
• The category's cookie list: name, duration and description are shown to the visitor in the preference center; the name (with a trailing * for a prefix) and the domain also serve to delete the cookies when the category is withdrawn.

Cookie detection

The Cookie scanner tab sweeps your site with the Scan site button, draws up the inventory of detected vendors (cookies and scripts actually present, sorted by category) and flags separately the hardcoded trackers: those placed in the <head> before Google Tag Manager, out of reach of the consent layer, which must be removed from the site's code. The Apply to consent config button turns the result into a draft: categories created if missing, cookies and blocking patterns added, left for you to review then deploy.
