1. Enable the banner

In the General card, check Enable consent banner. Choose the banner position that best fits your theme:

  • Bottom bar
  • Bottom left
  • Bottom right
  • Center modal
  • Top bar

2. Customize appearance

In Style, set the background color, text color, primary/secondary button colors, border radius, and font family. Use your storefront brand colors, but keep contrast high enough for accessibility.

3. Choose per-region layouts

In Buttons & Layout, choose a layout for each privacy regime:

  • EU & UK (GDPR): three-button, reject-first, or two-button layouts. Single-accept and nested reject patterns are intentionally unavailable here.
  • US state privacy laws: layouts must include a clear opt-out path.
  • Everywhere else: all layouts are available, including implied-consent options.

You can customize the labels for Accept, Reject, Customize, Save preferences, and the manage-preferences link.

4. Edit banner copy and categories

In Content, update the headline, description, and category labels/descriptions:

  • Functional
  • Analytics
  • Marketing

Also add your Privacy Policy URL and Cookie Policy URL so visitors can review your full policy.

5. Configure behavior

Use the Behavior, Dismissal Behavior, Preferences Re-entry, and Global Privacy Control (GPC) sections to control:

  • Whether the banner appears on first visit.
  • How many days before it reappears.
  • Whether US/rest-of-world visitors can close the banner.
  • Whether an X means Reject or temporary Dismiss where legally allowed.
  • Whether a floating Cookie Settings button appears.
  • How GPC signals are handled for US opt-out states.

6. Save and verify

Use the save bar to save your changes, then open the storefront in a fresh/incognito browser window. Accept, reject, and customize preferences to verify the banner behaves as expected.
