Before You Dive In
The Cookie Consent Banner is the little popup you’ve probably seen on other websites asking if you’re okay with cookies. Cookies are small bits of data that help a website work (and sometimes track things like analytics or ads). Some laws, especially in Europe and the UK, require you to give visitors the choice to accept or reject these cookies.
This guide is perfect if you want to:
Learn how to add a cookie consent popup on your site or funnel
Let visitors choose which cookies they do and don't allow
Stay more compliant with privacy rules
Note: Enabling the cookie consent banner can support your efforts toward privacy compliance, but it does not guarantee full legal compliance. Always consult your legal advisor to ensure your website meets applicable regulations.

Click for the written steps
Step 1: Turn the banner on
Open your funnel or website in the builder
Go to the page where you want the banner to show
Click the cookie icon on the top toolbar
In the settings panel that opens on the right, toggle it ON
Do this inside all Ivorey websites or funnels you want the banner to show in
Step 2: Choose your buttons
You can decide what choices the banner gives people:
Accept Essential: Only the basic cookies the site needs to work
Accept All: Everything, including tracking and analytics
Reject: Only the basic cookies again, no tracking
Save Preferences: Saves whatever options they chose
Step 3: Customise the banner style
Change colours, fonts, and text to match your brand
Add your own message and link to your privacy policy
Edit the button labels so they make sense in your language or tone
Choose a layout e.g. whether it appears on the top/left/right
Step 4: Choose where the banner shows
You can show the banner to:
Everyone, everywhere
Only visitors in the EU & UK (where the law requires it)
Specific countries you choose
(Optional) Step 5: Let visitors pick cookie types
If you want, you can give visitors more control with categories like:
Essential (always on)
Functional (site features like sharing buttons)
Analytics (tracking behaviour)
Advertising (targeted ads)
You’ll need to tell the system which cookies go in which category - more on that below.
Step 6: Finding out which cookies you use
If you’re not sure what cookies your site uses:
Turn the banner off temporarily
Use a free tool like CookieServe to scan your site
See the list it gives you and sort them into the categories above
Turn your banner back on
Step 7: Keep it up to date
Scan your site every now and then for new cookies
Make sure descriptions are clear and simple
Update any changes to your marketing tools (e.g. Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics)
