Cookie Banners

Automad automatically displays a cookie consent banner when a page includes embedded third-party content, such as YouTube videos, SoundCloud embeds, social media posts, or similar elements. This ensures your site remains GDPR compliant.

Custom Script Wrapper

For third-party scripts that aren't automatically handled, you can use the am-consent wrapper component to request visitor consent before loading the script.

The am-consent component can handle both, linked .js files as well as inline JavaScript code. 

Inline JavaScript can be added to a custom HTML field as follows:

<am-consent type="script">
	console.log('Hello you!');
</am-consent>

To fetch and run an externally linked script file, you can use the src attribute:

<am-consent type="script" src="https://domain.com/script.js"></am-consent>

Styling the Cookie Banner

Automad lets you customize the consent banner via the dashboard:

This way, the banner and placeholders feel like part of your design, not a foreign element. All cookie consent customization settings can be found either in General Data and Files > Customizations section or under the Customizations tab in the page settings.
