Getting started with Savira

Compliant basics in about 15 minutes.

Start here

Quick start: compliant in 15 minutes

If you have just received your login, start here. Two things get you covered: your privacy statement first, then your cookie banner. Both are done in plain steps with no coding.

Before you start, have these ready

  • Your Savira login, provided by your Savira administrator
  • The Savira plugin file (a .zip), also from your administrator
  • Access to your WordPress admin area, usually yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Priority 1

Publish your privacy statement

  1. Step 1: Create your privacy statement in Savira

    Go to Policy Templates > Privacy Policy and complete the short setup wizard. Savira builds a statement that meets the Australian Privacy Principles. When you are happy with it, click Save & Publish.

  2. Step 2: Add it as a page on your website

    Copy your finished statement from Savira. In WordPress, go to Pages > Add New, title the page Privacy Policy, paste the text in, and click Publish.

  3. Step 3: Link it where people can find it

    Add the new Privacy Policy page to your website footer or main menu, found in WordPress under Appearance > Menus, so visitors can reach it from any page.

Priority 2

Add your cookie banner

  1. Step 1: Copy your Savira Licence Key

    Go to Settings > API. Under Savira Licence Key, click View Key and copy the full key. It starts with sv_

  2. Step 2: Upload the Savira plugin to WordPress

    In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin. Click Choose File, select the Savira plugin .zip from your administrator, then click Install Now and Activate Plugin.

  3. Step 3: Paste your key to connect

    Still in WordPress, open Settings > Savira. Paste the Licence Key you copied, then click Save.

  4. Step 4: Design and publish your banner

    Back in Savira, go to Policy Templates > Cookie Consent Banner. Set your wording, position and colours, then click Save & Publish. Your banner goes live on your site on its own.

You're compliant

Your privacy statement is live and your consent banner shows on every public page. Any change you make in Savira updates your site automatically, so you never touch code again.

2. Sending Emails

Savira sends compliant consent requests and confirmation emails. Every response is logged, timestamped and stored automatically, so you can prove consent later without digging through inboxes.

Composing & Sending

TO REPLACEWalk through creating and sending a consent email. Where in the sidebar it lives, choosing a template, selecting recipients or uploading a list, personalising the wording, previewing, and sending. Note anything that cannot be undone once sent.

Where responses go

TO REPLACEExplain where recorded responses appear and how to export them.

Section 3

3. WordPress Integration

Connecting Savira to WordPress takes a licence key and a plugin. Once connected, consent decisions are captured automatically from your existing forms and sync in real time, with no code changes needed.

Licence Key & Plugin Setup

The four setup steps are covered in the Quick start guide above: copy your licence key from Settings > API, upload the plugin, paste the key into Settings > Savira in WordPress, then publish your banner.

The notes below cover what to do afterwards.

Important

If you generate a new licence key

The old key stops working straight away and your banner will disappear from your site. Copy the new key into WordPress under Settings > Savira and click Save to reconnect.

Fix

If your banner is not appearing

Check the plugin is Activated, your banner is set to Published in Savira, and the key is pasted with no extra spaces. Save again, then refresh your site or clear your browser cache. Changes can take a minute to show.

Still stuck? Head to Troubleshooting or click Help & Resources in the Savira sidebar.
