How do you enable the cookie consent banner in Loopia Sitebuilder?

Loopia Sitebuilder uses cookies so your website can offer visitors the best possible experience. In some regions, legislation such as GDPR and the 2002 ePrivacy Directive (often called the “cookie law”) may require you to inform visitors about the cookies your site uses and get their consent for certain types of cookies.

If your site has visitors from the EU, you’ll need to show a cookie banner.

A cookie banner is a consent notice shown to a visitor the first time they visit a site. Its purpose is to inform visitors about cookies and get their consent to use them.

  1. Click the main menu button in the top-left corner of Loopia Sitebuilder and select Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Go to the Cookies and user data section and tick Cookie consent banner.
  3. Click Submit and publish your site for the change to go live.

Visitors will now see the banner at the top of the screen the first time they visit your site.

The banner’s default text is generic and may not fit your specific situation. To change it, click anywhere on the banner and start typing. You can also format the text – bold, italic, underline or strikethrough.

You can edit the text inside the buttons too – click the existing button text and type a new one.

You can also add a link to your privacy policy or other legal pages. See our guide on creating and displaying a privacy policy in Loopia Sitebuilder for more on adding links.
