You can add legal documents, such as a Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy, to your CookieScript cookie banner.

Choose which type of document you want to add and how you want to add it.

You can add a Privacy Policy to your CookieScript banner in four main ways:

  • Add a link to an existing Privacy Policy

  • Generate a Privacy Policy in CookieScript

  • Upload a Privacy Policy as a PDF file

  • Write or edit a Privacy Policy using the Text Editor

Use this option if your Privacy Policy is already published on your website or hosted on another page.

To add a link to your Privacy Policy:

  1. Go to your CookieScript Dashboard.
