Installation & Integration

Easily install and integrate Consently with your website or platform, enabling seamless deployment of cookie banners, consent tracking, and privacy compliance features without technical hassle.

8.1 Installation Overview Installing Consently on your website is a one-time setup that enables your consent banner to collect visitor preferences and manage cookies. The installation process involves adding a single JavaScript snippet to your site, which can be done through various methods depending on your technical setup and platform.

8.2 Direct HTML Installation Direct HTML installation adds the Consently script directly to your website's code. This method gives you full control over script placement and works with any website platform that allows HTML editing.

8.3 Google Tag Manager Installation Google Tag Manager (GTM) lets you manage tracking scripts without editing website code directly. Installing Consently through GTM keeps your consent banner centralized with your other marketing tags and allows non-developers to update the banner configuration.

8.4 Platform Compatibility Consently is platform-agnostic and installs via a single JavaScript snippet that works across all website builders, content management systems, and custom-coded sites. The installation method varies by platform—some let you paste code directly into theme files, while others provide custom code injection settings or require plugins.

8.5 Installing on Dorik Dorik is a no-code website builder that supports custom code injection. Installing Consently requires adding the banner script to your site's custom code settings, which makes your consent banner appear across all pages.

8.6 Installing on WordPress WordPress offers several ways to add the Consently script to your site. The most common method is editing your theme's header file, though plugins and functions.php alternatives provide safer options for sites with custom themes or frequent updates.

8.7 Installing on Shopify Shopify stores require adding the Consently script directly to your theme's liquid template files. This ensures the consent banner appears across all pages, including product pages, collections, cart, and checkout (where Shopify allows custom code).

8.8 Installing on Wix Wix allows custom code through its built-in Custom Code feature available on Business and eCommerce plans. You'll paste the Consently script in the header section to load the consent banner on all pages.

8.9 Installing on Squarespace Squarespace provides a Code Injection feature that lets you add custom scripts to your site's header or footer. Installing the Consently banner on Squarespace takes just a few minutes using this built-in functionality.

8.10 Installing on Framer Framer's Custom Code feature lets you add the Consently script to your entire site from one location. This method is ideal for Framer sites because it automatically applies the consent banner to every page without requiring edits to individual page code.

8.11 Installing on Webflow Webflow supports custom code injection in site headers, allowing you to install the Consently script without editing individual pages. The script loads on every page of your site once you publish it.

8.12 Installing on Other CMS Platforms This guide provides universal installation principles for platforms not covered in our dedicated setup guides. Whether you're using a website builder like Carrd or 10web, or a traditional CMS like Joomla or Ghost, the core process remains the same: add your Consently script to your site's <head> section.

8.13 Testing Your Installation Testing confirms the Consently banner loads correctly, displays to visitors, and enforces consent by blocking non-essential cookies until permission is granted. Proper testing prevents compliance violations from undetected installation errors.
