We want to make this process as simple and streamlined as possible so you can achieve compliance with minimal time and effort.
Termly’s cookie consent manager works in just a few steps. You’ll input some information, but most of the work is done behind the scenes. When it comes to banner and preference center installation, we’ll help you out with code snippets you can simply copy and paste onto your website. We also provide an automatic cookie blocking method to simplify the final steps.
Here is a basic overview of the cookie consent manager installation process:
It’s as easy as inputting your website’s URL into the cookie consent tool and starting the scan. Our software will find, review, and compile a list of your website’s cookies.
Once you’ve scanned your website, you’ll need to classify your cookies. Our tool does most of the classification for you – just review and edit as needed, and make sure to categorize any unclassified or missing cookies. Assigning the correct cookie categories is vital so your users can give consent for individual categories. For example, a user might consent to analytics cookies but decide to reject advertising cookies.
We know that matching your website’s branding is essential, which is why we have multiple customization options: select colors, fonts, display style, banner position, and more. You can also use our built-in themes.
You can even use our live preview feature to view customization changes before you implement them. Check out some of the options below:
If you don’t want to fully customize your banner, no problem! Select from a few built-in themes at no charge.
Beyond the style and placement, we also offer customization options for text, location, and language.
Once you’re ready to install your consent banner, simply copy the auto-generated code snippet and paste it onto your website.
Don’t forget a preference center! Preference centers allow visitors to change their cookie preferences at any time, which is required under some privacy laws. We’ll generate the code snippet for you, and you can paste your preference center as a link or onto a button on your website.
Some laws require websites to publish a cookie policy along with their cookie consent banner and preference center. Our cookie consent manager makes adding a cookie policy easy. After you complete your scan and classification, we’ll provide the cookie policy for you! Simply add it to your site using HTML, a code snippet, or a URL.
Some laws, like the GDPR, require user consent before collecting personal information. You’ll need to store these user consent logs in case of an audit. You also likely need to provide ways for users to contact you about the use of their information. The CCPA requires a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link to be displayed on your website to allow users to request that you no longer sell their personal information.
In addition, the GDPR and CCPA both require you to give users a way to contact you about their data. A Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) form is a way to let your users submit requests to opt out of the sale of data, request their information be deleted, and more. Consent logs, a “Do Not Sell” link, and a DSAR form are all available in your Termly dashboard.

Cookie consent is the act of consenting to, rejecting, or specifying the use of cookies on a website. Some laws, like the GDPR, require that websites give users options for which cookies are used, if any, as they access a site.
To comply with the GDPR’s cookie consent requirements, your website or app needs a cookie consent function that users see before cookies can be served. The consent function can appear as a banner, popup, or form that users will see and can interact with when they enter your site. You’ll also need to implement a cookie blocking method to ensure that cookies are blocked before you receive explicit user consent to serve cookies.
A cookie consent banner, is a notice on your site that informs visitors of your use of cookies.
Some consent banners ask users to consent to the use of cookies on the site or allow them to set their cookie preferences for which types of cookies can be used. These banners help satisfy GDPR and ePrivacy Directive consent requirements.
Other cookie banners don’t include consent or preference buttons. Instead, they inform users that cookies are being used but don’t provide any consent or preference settings.
You make a cookie consent banner using one of the following methods:
Remember, you still need to implement cookie blocking to comply with laws like the GDPR, CCPA, and the ePrivacy Directive that require explicit consent before serving cookies. Adding in a consent banner plugin or tool to your website may not be enough for full compliance.
First-party cookies are cookies that are set by your own website. For example, they may track visitors’ login status or shopping cart items. Third-party cookies are set by service partners that you include on your website. They may be used in ad tracking, by analytics services like Google Analytics, or in tools like embedded YouTube videos.
The different types of internet cookies include:
Yes, cookies used to identify individuals are considered personal data (e.g., a cookie ID). Many regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), control how businesses use cookies and other personal information. Cookies that are not considered personal data are still subject to requirements set out in the ePrivacy Directive that governs the use of cookies more generally.
Some laws, like the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, require explicit consent from users before a website can serve certain cookies.
Using a cookie consent banner that asks users for consent and gives users the option to set their cookie preferences can satisfy this requirement.
Other laws may not require cookie consent, but instead require a disclaimer about the cookies you use.
Cookie blocking is when a cookie script is blocked from running on a given user’s browser. Cookie blocking can happen at the browser level or at the website level. Cookie blocking should be done automatically until users consent to non-essential cookies. Some browsers allow cookie blocking to be set from the user’s end.
When implementing a cookie consent solution, you’ll need to use a cookie blocking method to ensure all non-essential cookies are blocked before users give consent. Our cookie consent manager gives you the option to use our Auto Blocker. Auto Blocker is a Termly feature that automatically detects, categorizes, and blocks third-party tracking mechanisms from being delivered to your website visitors until they have given their consent. Our cookie consent manager also allows you to manually block cookies or block cookies using Google Tag Manager if you don’t want to use auto-blocking technology.
