Yes, it is possible to add a native cookie consent that appears only once on the first page load in Webflow without any third-party tools or integrations. While Webflow does not have a built-in cookie consent feature, you can achieve this by using a modal wrapper and some custom code.
Here's how you can do it in Webflow:
1. Add a modal wrapper: Drag and drop a modal component onto your Webflow project. Customize its design to match your website's aesthetics.
2. Create a cookie: On the first page load, you can use JavaScript to create a cookie to track whether the user has already given consent. You can do this by adding a custom code block to the Head section of your Webflow project.
```
```
This code checks if the `cookieConsent` cookie exists. If it doesn't, it opens the modal with the ID `cookie-consent` and creates the cookie, which will expire in 30 days.
3. Add an interaction to close the modal: You can add an interaction to the close button of the modal to close it when the user gives consent.
- Select the close button inside the modal.
- Go to the Interactions panel and add an interaction to the button.
- Set the interaction to hide the modal or fade it out.
4. GDPR-compliant consent message: Design a GDPR-compliant consent message inside the modal that explains the use of cookies on your website and provides an option to accept or decline.
5. Implement cookie consent functionality: You'll need to customize the code to handle the user's choice when they accept or decline the cookie consent. You can use JavaScript to store that choice in a separate cookie or perform any other actions required.
Remember that this solution is a starting point and may need further customization based on your specific requirements and the regulations you need to comply with. You should consult with legal professionals to ensure your cookie consent implementation meets the specific regulations you are subject to.
