Understanding Your Embed Script

The script you copied looks like this:

<!-- Start Consently Banner -->
<script src="https://app.consently.net/consently.js" data-bannerid="[YOUR_BANNER_ID]"></script>
<!-- End Consently Banner -->

Key components:

  • Script source: Loads the Consently library from our CDN

  • data-bannerid attribute: Unique identifier linking to your specific banner configuration

  • Asynchronous loading: The script loads without blocking your page content

What's Next

Now that you've copied your embed script, you should:

  1. Install the script on your website

  2. Test your installation

Troubleshooting

The Copy button isn't working

Why this happens: Some browsers block automatic clipboard access for security reasons.

Solution:

  1. Try a manual copy: Click inside the script box, select all text with Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on Mac), then copy with Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C)

  2. Check for a permission prompt in your browser's address bar and allow clipboard access if prompted

  3. If the issue persists, try using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge

The script box appears empty

Solution: Refresh the page and try again. If the problem continues, verify that your banner configuration was saved properly—check for any "unsaved changes" indicator on the dashboard.
