Cookie Consent Banners: What They Must Do
Consent banners are required in many regions. Learn what a banner must say and the difference between a notice and real consent.
What is the Cookie Consent Banner Generator?
A cookie consent banner is the notice that asks visitors to accept cookies. This generator builds a small, dependency-free banner script with your site name and message.
How to use it
- Enter your site name and message.
- Click Generate banner code.
- Paste the script before your closing body tag.
Worked example
A site name and message produce a banner snippet with accept and dismiss buttons.
Does a banner make my site compliant?
Not by itself — the banner is the visible part; you also need to actually respect the choice in your scripts.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a banner for analytics cookies?
In the EU and UK, yes for non-essential cookies — consent must come before setting them.
What about essential cookies?
Strictly necessary cookies (login, cart, security) do not need consent.
