How to Enable or Disable Your Cookie Consent Banner The **Enable Cookie Banner** toggle is pre-configured for every template. Use it to instantly show or hide the cookie consent banner on your website — no code changes required. This is useful when running A/B tests, performing maintenance, or managing seasonal compliance needs. ## 2\. Preview the Cookie Banner Across Devices Before publishing, use the built-in preview to see how your **cookie banner** will appear on **desktop, tablet, and mobile** devices. Switch to full-screen mode for the most accurate visual representation. Note that the preview is an approximation — always verify on a live staging environment for final checks. ## 3\. How to Switch to Cookie Banner Edit Mode To modify any cookie banner setting, click the **Edit** button. This unlocks the full editor, divided into five sections: **Language, Text, Buttons, Advanced Categories,** and **Preview**. ![Clicking the Edit button to open the cookie banner editor in Secure Privacy](https://pub-7bd19505838640d0a08ef1bd6ec3fb9b.r2.dev/articles/f5cd73f85652ec948c5b-d7361b583a92.webp) ## 4\. Edit Mode: Cookie Banner Language Settings Each template comes pre-loaded with languages relevant to its target region — for example, EU-focused templates include the major EU languages by default. To add or remove languages, navigate to **Template → Settings**. Supporting multiple languages ensures your **cookie consent notice** is compliant and accessible to all visitors. ## 5\. Edit Mode: Customize Cookie Banner Text & Links The **Text** section lets you edit every written element of your cookie banner — including the heading, body copy, and embedded hyperlinks. You can link directly to key privacy resources such as your **preference center, privacy policy, cookie policy,** and **data request form**. All text is pre-written to be legally compliant, but can be tailored to match your brand's tone and voice for a seamless user experience. ![Editing cookie banner heading and body text in the Secure Privacy template editor](https://pub-7bd19505838640d0a08ef1bd6ec3fb9b.r2.dev/articles/875a175c28f184986a2e-3ac670755bd5.webp) ## 6\.

The **Decline** and **Personalize** buttons can be independently enabled or disabled to match your legal requirements and UX preferences. Default states are pre-configured per template. ## 7\. Edit Mode: Advanced Cookie Consent Categories **Advanced categories** allow granular control over cookie consent — for example, separating analytics cookies from marketing cookies. You can enable or disable each category here. To edit category names and descriptions, go to the **Preference Center** tab. Changes are reflected instantly in the preview below. ## 8\. Edit Mode: Interactive Cookie Banner Preview The **interactive preview** updates in real time as you make edits, so you can see exactly how your cookie banner will look before going live.
