This guide covers how to install the **Secure Privacy script** across all major website platforms and CMS tools. Select your platform from the list below for step-by-step installation instructions.

**Important:** Regardless of platform, always place the Secure Privacy script at the very top of the `<head>` section of your webpage — before any other third-party scripts. You can always find your installation script under **Domain > Installation** in your Secure Privacy dashboard.

## 4\. Google Tag Manager (GTM)

## 5\. Wix

1.  Log in to your **Wix Dashboard** and click **Manage Website** in the side menu.
    
2.  Go to **Tracking & Analytics** in Site Manager.
    
3.  Click **\+ New Tool** and select **Custom** from the dropdown menu.

8.  Under **Place Code in**, select **Head**.
    
9.  Save your changes.
    

## 6\. Shopify

**Note:** Shopify does not allow external scripts in the checkout flow. Secure Privacy can only be used on your Storefront and the Order Confirmation page.

1.  Log in to your Shopify account.
    
2.  Click **Online Store > Themes**.
    
3.  Click the **Actions** button and select **Edit Code (HTML/CSS)**.
    
4.  Under **Layout**, select your active theme's `theme.liquid` file.
    
5.  Locate the closing `</head>` tag. **Note:** some themes use variations such as `{/head}`, `[/header]`, or `[/head]` — these work the same way.
    
6.  Paste the Secure Privacy script immediately before the closing `</head>` tag.
    
7.  Save the file.
    

## 7\. Squarespace

1.  Log in to your Secure Privacy account and copy the installation script from **Domain > Installation**.
    
2.  Go to the **Settings** (gear icon) of your Squarespace account.
    
3.  From the Settings menu, click **Advanced**, then navigate to **Code Injection**.
    
4.  Paste your script (including the <script> tags) into the **Header** field. For scripts like Secure Privacy CMP that need to load before anything else for compliance reasons - the **Header** is required — not the Footer.
    
5.  Click **Save**. The script will now load on every page of your Squarespace site.
    

**Note:** Code Injection is available on **Business plans and above**. It is not available on the Personal plan.

## 8\. WordPress

**Note:** Administrator-level access is required to modify website settings in WordPress.

1.  Log in to your WordPress admin panel and go to **Plugins > Add New**.
    
2.  Install a plugin that allows adding scripts to the page header — for example, the free **Insert Headers and Footers** plugin.
    
3.  Once installed, open the plugin and confirm the **Head and Footer** tab is active.
    
4.  In the **Page Section Injection / On Every Page** input field, paste your Secure Privacy script on the very first line — this ensures Secure Privacy loads before any other cookies or plugins can fire.
    
5.  Scroll down and click **Save** to apply the changes. Your Secure Privacy script is now installed on your WordPress website.

1.  Log in to your Secure Privacy account and copy the installation script from **Domain > Installation**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why must the Secure Privacy script be placed at the top of the <head> section?

Placing the script at the very top of the `<head>` tag ensures it initializes before any other third-party scripts, pixels, or tags can load — preventing non-essential cookies from being placed before the visitor gives consent. A script loaded later in the page may allow cookies to fire before the blocking engine is active.

### Where do I find my Secure Privacy installation script?

Your unique installation script is always available in your Secure Privacy dashboard under **Domain > Installation**. Select the domain you are installing for and copy the full script including the `<script>` tags.

### How do I verify the script is installed correctly?

After installing and publishing your site, navigate to the **Report** page in your Secure Privacy dashboard and run a website rescan. If the script is correctly installed, the scan will detect it and begin populating your cookie report. You can also check your browser's developer tools to confirm the Secure Privacy script is loading in the page source.
