Customizing Your Banner Design

Learn how to customize your cookie banner's appearance to match your brand identity.

Why Customize?

A well-designed cookie banner that matches your brand creates a better user experience and can improve consent rates. Studies show branded banners see up to 2.5x higher interaction rates.

Color Customization

Customize every color in your banner: background, text, buttons (primary, secondary, outline), borders, and overlays. Use your brand colors for a seamless integration.

Design Best Practices

  • 1

    Match your brand colors

    Use your primary and secondary brand colors

  • 2

    Keep text concise

    Users scan, don't read - get to the point

  • 3

    Make buttons clear

    Accept/Reject actions should be equally prominent

  • 4

    Test on mobile

    Over 50% of users are on mobile devices

  • 5

    Consider dark mode

    Offer a dark variant for dark-themed sites
