How can I manage cookie enabling and disabling per user request on Webflow, in compliance with GDPR regulations, including a "decline" and "accept" button? I am having trouble implementing the suggested tool.

TL;DR
  • Use a GDPR-compliant cookie tool (e.g., Cookiebot, Iubenda) to create a consent banner that lets users accept or decline non-essential cookies.
  • Embed the tool's script in Webflow via Project Settings > Custom Code, configure cookie blocking in the tool's dashboard, and validate that cookies are blocked until consent is given.

To comply with GDPR regulations in Webflow, you need to implement a cookie consent banner that allows users to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Webflow does not natively support full cookie management, so third-party tools are often required.

  • Use a trusted platform like Cookiebot, Osano, Iubenda, or Termly.
  • These tools generate a script consent banner allowing users to “Accept”, “Decline”, and even customize preferences.
  • They allow blocking of non-essential cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) until a user gives consent.

2. Embed the Script in Webflow

  • In Webflow, go to Project Settings > Custom Code.
  • Paste the cookie tool’s script into the Head or Footer section, depending on the tool’s instructions.
  • You often need to verify domain ownership or configure settings within the external tool’s dashboard.
  • Within the third-party dashboard (e.g., Cookiebot panel), define which services set cookies and mark them as marketing, statistics, or essential.
  • The tool will automatically block scripts for non-essential categories until the user chooses Accept.
  • If using custom scripts (e.g., Google Tag Manager), you must conditionally load them only after consent using the cookie tool’s provided mechanism.
  • Most cookie services allow you to customize the styling of the banner via their dashboard, or inject a custom CSS override.
  • You can match the look and feel of your site by editing colors, buttons, and layout.

5. Validate GDPR Compliance

  • Ensure all tracking cookies are disabled by default before consent.
  • Test that the "Decline" button truly blocks third-party cookies.
  • Use browser dev tools or tools like https://www.cookieserve.com to verify the behavior.

Summary

To enable cookie control per GDPR on Webflow, embed a trusted third-party solution like Cookiebot or Iubenda in your Custom Code, configure it to block cookies before consent, and ensure that the "Accept" and "Decline" buttons function correctly. Webflow does not manage cookie logic directly, so a well-integrated third-party tool is required.
