CookieBeam

Install CookieBeam

Choose the method that fits your stack. CookieBeam supports direct script embeds and a Google Tag Manager (GTM) template. Both initialize Google Consent Mode v2 correctly.

Before you start

  • Sign up and create a banner to get your PUBLIC_BANNER_ID.
  • Make sure your site allows loading scripts from cdn.cookiebeam.com.
  • Publish changes to production when you’re ready.

Option A: Direct Script

  1. Copy your PUBLIC_BANNER_ID from the CookieBeam dashboard.
  2. Paste the script as the first element in <head>, loaded synchronously before any other script.
<script
  src="https://cdn.cookiebeam.com/banner/PUBLIC_BANNER_ID/default/loader.js"
></script>

This loader sets Consent Mode defaults early and updates consent states after users interact with the banner.

Option B: Google Tag Manager

Prefer the direct script installation to load first and synchronously. The GTM template loads after GTM and does not gate scripts hardcoded outside the container.

  1. Download the template from GitHub, then import it into your GTM workspace.
  2. Import the template and create a new tag.
  3. Set your Banner ID and use the "Consent Initialization" trigger.
