Set up your cookie banner on any website

Section 1

Before you start

You need a Savira login and access to your website's header code. If your site runs on WordPress, use the WordPress plugin instead.

• A Savira account. No account yet? Sign up free.
• Access to the place your website builder lets you add code to every page, often called Custom code, Header code or Code injection.

Section 2

Set up your banner

Everything about how the banner looks and what it offers is set in Savira.

1. Go to Policy Templates > Cookie Consent Banner.
2. Choose a Banner Position: Footer Banner or Modal Pop-up.
3. Edit the Cookie Banner Copy (up to 500 characters), or click Default to start again.
4. Under Banner Links, add your Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy addresses and switch each link on.
5. Under Cookie Categories, check the wording for Strictly necessary, Functional, Analytics and Marketing. Switch off any category your site does not use.
6. Set Banner Radius, Text Colour, Button Radius and Button Colour to match your site.
7. Click Save & Publish.

Section 3

Add the code snippet

The snippet loads your banner. It is the same on every page.

1. On the Cookie Consent Banner screen, find Standard Code Snippet. On a narrow screen, widen your browser window if you cannot see it.
2. Click Copy Code.
3. In your website builder, paste the snippet into the head code for every public page, as high as possible.
4. Save and publish your website.

Add the snippet once, in the site-wide header setting, not page by page.

Section 4

Check it works

Test in a private browser window, so no earlier choice is remembered.

• Open your website. The banner should appear.
• Click Manage Preferences and check the categories match what you set.
• Reject, then reload. The banner should not ask again.
