Match my website ## A banner that looks like your site, in about a minute Cut the design and development time. CookieBeam captures your homepage, reads its colours, fonts, corner shapes and logo, and our AI suggests three banner styles that fit. In about a minute you have an on-brand banner you can keep customising in the designer. ![One suggested banner style, Forest Roast, shown on a capture of a coffee shop homepage with the reason it was chosen](https://cookiebeam.com/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fapp_preview%2Fmatch-website%2Fmatch-style-card.png&w=1920&q=75&dpl=048c69e334d1f4961be6aad4996119be3342ebfd-40254305837-1) ![Match my website: three suggested banner styles, each shown on a capture of the same coffee shop homepage, with a short reason and a Use this style button](https://cookiebeam.com/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fapp_preview%2Fmatch-website%2Fmatch-styles.png&w=3840&q=75&dpl=048c69e334d1f4961be6aad4996119be3342ebfd-40254305837-1) 1. 1 ### We capture your homepage On desktop, tablet and mobile. Behind bot protection? Enter your brand colours and font instead. 2. 2 ### AI suggests three styles Typically a quiet one, one in your brand colour and a high-contrast one, each with a one-line reason. 3. 3 ### Check it where it runs Enlarge any style, switch device, and preview it under GDPR, California and the other legal presets. 4. 4 ### Refine, then save Ask for changes in plain words, like "square buttons and our green". The style you pick becomes a new theme. ![The Forest Roast style previewed on desktop under the California preset, with a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information button](https://cookiebeam.com/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fapp_preview%2Fmatch-website%2Fmatch-preview-california.png&w=3840&q=75&dpl=048c69e334d1f4961be6aad4996119be3342ebfd-40254305837-1) ![The same style previewed on a phone](https://cookiebeam.com/_next/image?url=%2Fimages%2Fapp_preview%2Fmatch-website%2Fmatch-preview-mobile.png&w=828&q=75&dpl=048c69e334d1f4961be6aad4996119be3342ebfd-40254305837-1) One style, previewed under the California preset on desktop and on a phone. ### On brand, and still fair to your visitors - Text keeps at least 4.5:1 contrast. Where a colour would be hard to read, we adjust it slightly and tell you. - Accept and Reject always share one button style, so no style nudges visitors to accept. - Nothing goes live until you make the new theme your default and publish. Available on Starter and above. It changes how your banner looks, not your consent settings or wording.

Consent Mode Integration ## Consent Signals for Your Measurement Tools CookieBeam sends consent signals to Google tags, Microsoft UET and Clarity, and Meta Pixel. Enable and publish the relevant integrations, install the tags separately, and verify their consent behavior. Google Ads may model conversion gaps; advanced Consent Mode uses cookieless pings when consent is denied, subject to Google’s traffic and eligibility requirements. Modeled results are aggregate estimates, not recovered individual conversion events. Microsoft UET modeling requires its own tag setup; Meta and Clarity consent signals and server-side GTM do not guarantee conversion recovery. [Google Consent Mode v2](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/google-consent-mode) [Microsoft Clarity & Bing Ads](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/microsoft) [Meta Pixel consent signals](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/meta-pixel) [Server-side GTM add-on](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/server-side-gtm) [TikTok consent signals](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/tiktok) [Pinterest](https://cookiebeam.com/docs/integrations/pinterest) ## Comprehensive Privacy Regulation Support CookieBeam helps you navigate the complex landscape of global privacy regulations. Support your compliance efforts across multiple jurisdictions with a single solution. ### GDPR (EU) Built for EU General Data Protection Regulation requirements including consent management, data subject rights, and documentation requirements. ### CCPA/CPRA (California) Support for California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act including opt-out mechanisms and "Do Not Sell" requirements. ### ePrivacy Directive Designed to help meet the EU ePrivacy Directive requirements for cookies and electronic communications across all member states. ### LGPD (Brazil) Ready for Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados with appropriate consent mechanisms and user rights support. ### Your own region rules Add a rule for any countries or US states you choose, beyond the built-in legal presets. Name it, pick how visitors are asked (ask first, allow until declined, or notice only), and give it its own banner design. ### What's Included - Automatic geo-detection for region-specific banners - Pre-built legal framework presets (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA) - Google Consent Mode v2 integration - GPP (Global Privacy Platform) support for US privacy compliance - GPC and DNT privacy signal handling - Automatic cookie scanning and categorization - Multi-language banner in 30 languages - Customizable consent categories and button layouts - Analytics dashboard with consent rate tracking ## Quick Installation Install the banner in minutes: either embed our script directly or use the CookieBeam GTM template. ### Option A - Direct Script Place the script as the first element in the page head, loaded synchronously. Replace PUBLIC_BANNER_ID with your banner ID. ``` ``` The loader sets Consent Mode v2 defaults early and updates consent after user actions. [Full installation guide](https://cookiebeam.com/guides/setup-banner) ### Option B - Google Tag Manager Import the official CookieBeam GTM template manually. Add your Banner ID and publish. ``` Template: CookieBeam Consent Mode v2 Field: Banner ID = PUBLIC_BANNER_ID ``` Prefer the direct installation for synchronous loading before trackers. GTM starts later and does not gate hardcoded scripts outside the container.

A cookie consent banner is a notice shown when someone visits a website. It explains which cookies and similar technologies the site uses, lets the visitor accept or decline them by category, and records that choice for future visits. ### What does CookieBeam do? CookieBeam shows a customizable consent banner on your website, records each visitor's consent choice in a timestamped consent log you can export, blocks or allows third-party scripts based on that choice, and sends consent signals to Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft Consent Mode, and Meta Pixel. ### Do I need a cookie consent banner? If your website sets non-essential cookies or uses tracking tools, many privacy rules require you to inform visitors and collect their choice first. A consent banner is the most common way to do that. Whether your specific setup needs one depends on your audience and tools — if you are unsure, ask a legal professional. ### How long does CookieBeam take to set up? Most sites finish in under 10 minutes. Design your banner in the visual editor, then add a single script tag to your site or use the Google Tag Manager template — no other code changes are needed. ### Does CookieBeam support Google Consent Mode v2? Yes. CookieBeam sets Consent Mode v2 defaults before any tags load and updates the consent state as visitors make choices, so tags from Google, Microsoft, and Meta adjust their behavior to the recorded choice. ### Which languages can the banner speak? The banner comes with ready-made translations in 30 languages, and regional rules let you show different banner variants to visitors from different regions. ### Can I customize how the banner looks? Yes. Choose from 21 built-in themes and 7 banner layout variants, adjust colors, fonts, position, and text in the visual editor, and preview the result on desktop and mobile before publishing. ## Learn & Get Started Comprehensive guides to help you implement cookie consent correctly [Setup Guide Complete step-by-step banner installation guide](https://cookiebeam.com/guides/setup-banner) [GTM Integration Google Tag Manager setup and best practices](https://cookiebeam.com/guides/gtm-integration) [GDPR Checklist Essential GDPR compliance requirements](https://cookiebeam.com/guides/gdpr-checklist) [All Resources Browse all guides and documentation](https://cookiebeam.com/guides) ## Ready to Take Control of Cookie Consent?
