Cookie banner and consent

The GDPR tab configures the cookie consent banner shown to visitors on your public website. It is headed "GDPR & Cookie Consent — Configure the cookie consent banner for your public website".
Open Settings in the sidebar and pick the GDPR tab.
Note
Agents can open this tab and change the fields on screen, but saving requires an administrator.

Switching the banner on#

A single switch at the top, Enable Cookie Banner, described as "Show a cookie consent banner to visitors on your public website". Everything else on the tab is hidden until it is on.
Note
This tab configures the banner. It does not by itself stop tracking scripts from loading. If you use Google Analytics, Tag Manager or the Facebook Pixel — see SEO — check with whoever advises you on data protection that your setup does what your policy says it does.

The preview redraws as you type. It is not interactive.

Saving#

Save GDPR Settings stores everything on the tab. While it runs it reads "Saving...". On success a green line reads "GDPR settings saved successfully" for a few seconds.
If the save is refused you see "Failed to update agency".
