Super Admins and Site Admins can enable and configure a cookie notification and acknowledgment banner for community sites. The notification text can be customized, and you can link to your organization's privacy or cookie policy. In the banner, users can click:
- a customizable "policy link" to access information about your organization's policy and
- a customizable button to acknowledge the cookie notification.
Let's learn how to enable and configure the Cookie Notification, and customize a few aspects of its visual design.
Enable & configure the Cookie Notification
By default, the Cookie Notification is disabled and must be manually enabled and configured.
To do so:
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Site Options.
- Click Site Setup.
- Navigate to the Layout tab.
- Scroll down to the Cookie Notification option and toggle it to YES. A set of configuration options expand.
- You can configure the following options:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Position | Controls where on the page the cookie banner displays:
|
| Policy Link | Enter the URL to your organization's cookie policy. |
| Message | The message that you want displayed in the notification.
EXAMPLE: "This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website." |
| Accept button text | The text for the button that users click to acknowledge the notification (the default is "OK"). |
| Policy link text | The text for the link that users click to view your organization's privacy policy (the default is "Learn more"). |
- Click Finish at the bottom of the page.
The Cookie Notification will display to users when they log in.
- The notification continues to display to a user until that user clicks the acknowledgement.
Customize cookie visual design
Super Admins and Site Admins can customize a few visual aspects of the Cookie Notification to make it align with your organization's aesthetic.
- In the Admin Toolbar, click Site Options.
- Click Themes.
NOTE: If you're already in the Site Setup interface, you can also get to this page by navigating to the Theme Editor tab.
- Edit the Theme associated to your community site.
- On the Misc. tab (scroll to the bottom), you can customize the Cookie Notification's background color and text color.
- Click Save to apply your changes.
NOTE: While not directly customizable, note that the Cookie Notification's Accept button inherits the color selected in the Primary Color menu, located on the Main Colors tab.
