Step 4: Click on “Preview” to see how your cookie consent banner appears on your page. Once done, click “Save,” and then select the “Add to My Website” button.

Add a Cookie Consent Banner to Your Website
Step 1: Open the HTML source of your website that includes the <head>...</head> tags. This can be done either by editing your files from the administrator panel of your website, hosting control panel file manager, or FTP manager. If you’re not sure how to edit your website’s file, it’s best to contact your hosting or service provider for assistance.
Step 2: Paste the cookie consent banner code you copied earlier right above the </head> tag.
Verify the Installation:
After embedding the code, save your changes and refresh your website in a browser. The cookie consent banner should now be visible at the top or bottom of your website, depending on your chosen configuration.
