Websites often use cookies to improve user experience, track visitors, or collect data for analytics and marketing. However, many countries require websites to inform visitors about cookies and obtain their consent before placing certain types of cookies on their devices. This is especially important if you use tools like Google Analytics or newsletter signup forms.

What are Consent Cookies?

Consent cookies are a way to ask visitors for permission before storing or accessing cookies that track personal data or behavior. These cookies help ensure compliance with privacy laws such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in Europe or the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) in the US.

Implementing Consent Cookies on your Indie Pocket site

Framer does not include a built-in cookie consent banner, but you can add one by embedding third-party tools or custom scripts. Popular options include:

• Cookiebot

• OneTrust

• Osano

• Tarteaucitron.js (open source)

Most of these services offer easy setup with customizable banners and automatic cookie blocking until consent is given.

Adding a Cookie Consent Banner

To add a consent banner to your site:

1. Choose a cookie consent service and create an account if needed.

2. Configure your preferences and customize the banner text and style.

3. Copy the provided code snippet.

4. In your Framer project, use the Embed component to paste the code snippet into your site’s header or footer.

5. Publish your site to activate the consent banner.

Best Practices

• Clearly explain which cookies your site uses and why.

• Make the consent options easy to understand and accept or refuse.

• Ensure non-essential cookies are only activated after consent.

• Provide a way for visitors to change their cookie preferences later.
