If your Weebly website collects any data from visitors — through analytics, embedded forms, social sharing buttons, or ad pixels — you are legally required to display a cookie consent banner under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and a growing list of global privacy regulations. Ignoring this obligation puts you at risk of fines and, more immediately, erodes the trust of visitors who expect transparent data practices.
Weebly is an excellent website builder, but it does not ship with a built-in, fully compliant cookie consent solution. Many site owners resort to generic free banners that lack proper consent logging, geo-targeting, or automatic cookie scanning — leaving them technically non-compliant even when a banner is displayed.
Secure Privacy closes that gap. It handles consent collection, consent storage, automatic cookie categorisation, and multi-regulation support out of the box — and it connects to Weebly through a single script tag, with no coding required.
By the end of this guide, your Weebly site will display a fully customised, legally compliant cookie consent banner — live, tested, and ready to protect both your visitors and your business.

Step-by-Step: Installing Secure Privacy on Weebly
Log in to your Secure Privacy account.
Visit your Secure Privacy dashboard and sign in with your credentials.Copy your installation script.
Go to the Installation page for your target domain. Locate the Secure Privacy installation script and copy the entire code snippet, including the<script>opening and</script>closing tags.Log in to your Weebly Admin Dashboard.
Open Weebly and navigate to the dashboard for the site you want to make GDPR-compliant.Open Settings.
From the top navigation bar, click Settings.Navigate to SEO.
In the left panel, click SEO to open the site-wide code injection options.Paste the Secure Privacy script into the Header Code field.
Locate the Header Code text area and paste the full Secure Privacy script there. Important: do not delete or overwrite any code that is already present in this field — paste below any existing content.Click Save.
Click the Save button to apply your changes.Publish your site.
Click Publish to push the changes live. Your Secure Privacy cookie consent banner will now appear on your Weebly website.
What Happens After Installation?
Once published, Secure Privacy automatically scans your site for cookies and trackers, categorises them, and presents visitors with a consent banner that matches your configured regulations (GDPR, CCPA, and others). Consent records are stored securely in your Secure Privacy dashboard, giving you an auditable log of compliance — something a basic free banner cannot provide.
You can return to your Secure Privacy dashboard at any time to customise the banner's appearance, adjust the consent categories, update your cookie policy, or switch between regulation modes — without touching your Weebly site again.
Troubleshooting
The cookie banner is not appearing after I publish
First, clear your browser cache and reload the page in a private/incognito window — your own browser may have cached a previous version of the site. If the banner still does not appear, return to Settings → SEO → Header Code in Weebly and confirm the full script is present, including both the opening <script> and closing </script> tags.
I can see the script in Header Code but the banner doesn't show on all pages
Code added via Weebly's Header Code field is injected site-wide by default. If certain pages appear unaffected, ensure the page is published (not just saved as a draft) and that no page-level custom code is overriding the header.
I accidentally removed code that was already in the Header Code field
Check your browser history or Weebly's revision history to recover any overwritten code. Going forward, always paste the Secure Privacy script below any existing content in the Header Code area, never replacing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a cookie consent banner on my Weebly website?
Yes — if your Weebly site has visitors from the EU, UK, California, or other regulated jurisdictions, privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA require you to obtain informed consent before setting non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.
Does Weebly have a built-in GDPR cookie consent tool?
No. Weebly does not include a native, fully compliant cookie consent solution. A dedicated tool like Secure Privacy is needed to handle consent collection, logging, and automatic cookie discovery.
How do I add a cookie banner to Weebly?
Paste your Secure Privacy script tag into the Header Code field found under Settings → SEO in your Weebly Admin Dashboard, then save and publish. The banner will appear on your site immediately.
Will the Secure Privacy script slow down my Weebly site?
No. The Secure Privacy script is lightweight and loads asynchronously, so it does not block page rendering or negatively affect your site's performance.
Can I install Secure Privacy on Weebly without any coding knowledge?
Yes. The entire process involves copying a script from your Secure Privacy dashboard and pasting it into a text field in Weebly's settings. No coding or technical expertise is required.
Where do I find the Secure Privacy installation script?
Log in to your Secure Privacy account, select your domain, and navigate to the Installation page. Your unique script tag is displayed there, ready to copy.
