Before you start:

Step 1: Code snippet
To install your widget, you’ll need your cookie widget code snippet.

Step 3: Blocking cookies
The final step you need to take to make sure your cookies are compliant is to block the scripts that set them on your website, so the widget can enable them only when a visitor gives consent.
This step is a bit more technical, however, this guide shows you how to categorise the scripts that set cookies on your website to enable blocking. You might need a developer to help you.
In the future, we plan to remove the need for Step 3, when we introduce a fully automatic blocking feature.
Done!
Congratulations on completing your first step towards collecting compliant cookie consent. Pad your self on the back and know that our monster Sven is proud of you.
