When it comes to implementing a cookie consent pop-up in Webflow, there are several scripts you can use. I'll walk you through two popular options:
1. Cookie Consent by Insites:
Cookie Consent by Insites is a widely used and customizable solution for managing cookie consent on websites.
- Start by signing up on the Cookie Consent website and customize the appearance and behavior of your consent pop-up using their intuitive interface.
- Once you're satisfied, you'll receive a script to embed in your website.
- In Webflow, open the Designer and navigate to your project's settings (the gear icon in the left-hand toolbar).
- Go to the "Custom Code" tab and paste the Cookie Consent script in the "Footer Code" section.
- Publish your site, and the cookie consent pop-up should appear to visitors.
2. Webflow CMS + Custom Code Integration:
If you prefer more control and want to implement a custom cookie consent solution using Webflow CMS and some custom code, follow these steps:
- Create a new Collection in Webflow CMS to store the cookie consent preferences. Include fields such as "Accepted" (Boolean), "Preferences" (text or multi-reference), and any other relevant information.
- Create a new CMS template page to contain your cookie consent pop-up content.
- Design your cookie consent pop-up using elements, interactions, and styles in the Webflow Designer.
- Add a form to gather visitor preferences and configure the form submission settings to store data in the new Collection.
- Use Webflow interactions to show/hide the pop-up based on the visitor's consent status.
- Add some custom JavaScript to check whether a visitor has already accepted cookies or not (using cookies or local storage). If they haven't, display the pop-up.
- When the visitor accepts or updates their preferences, update the CMS collection accordingly.
- Finally, publish your site, and the customized cookie consent pop-up will be effective.
Both options have their pros and cons. If you prefer a quicker and easier solution with less customization, go with Cookie Consent by Insites. If you require more customization and want to leverage Webflow's CMS capabilities, then the second option would be more suitable. Select the one that best fits your needs and technical expertise.
