Cookie banner — optional, fully yours to design

A small floating cookies-and-privacy card. Off by default (Indian law doesn't require one); turn it on and style every text, colour, font and button.

An optional floating “cookies & privacy” card for your website. Most Indian stores don't need one — Indian law (DPDP) doesn't require a cookie banner — so it's OFF by default. If you want one (for example you serve customers in Europe, or you simply prefer showing a notice), you can turn it on and fully design it: texts, colours, fonts, position and buttons.

Do I need it?

Selling only in India? You can leave it off. India's DPDP Act doesn't ask for cookie pop-ups, and banners cost you a little screen space on every first visit.
Serving customers in Europe / UK? Turn it on and also enable the Decline button — European rules expect visitors to be able to say no.
Just want to look extra professional? That's fine too — the new banner is a small, polished card, not a full-width wall.

Turn it on & design it

Open Appearance → Cookie banner

In that website's menu, under Website, open Appearance and scroll to the Cookie banner card. Flip Show a cookie consent banner on. A live preview appears — everything you change below updates the preview instantly.

Write your texts

Title is optional (leave blank for a compact one-line banner). Set the message, the Accept and Decline button words, and — if you like — a “Learn more” link pointing at your privacy-policy page (leave its address blank to hide the link).

Pick the design

Position (bottom left / center / right), Theme (Dark, Light, or Custom with your own background, text and button colours) and a Font style (Clean, Serif or Rounded).

Choose the behaviour

Show a ✕ close button (recommended) lets visitors hide the banner for their visit without accepting. Show a Decline button adds a real way to say no.

Save

Press Save — your website updates itself within about a minute; there is nothing else to publish.

What Accept, Decline and ✕ actually do

Accept — the banner never shows again on that device.
Decline — the banner never shows again, and that device is excluded from your visitor analytics. Your orders, revenue and reports are never affected — those come from real orders, not from browsing trackers.
✕ close — hides the banner for the current visit only; it may appear again next visit.

Decline does not switch off ad tags. It stops your website's own visitor counting on that device. A Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or Google Ads tag you added under Settings → Tracking still loads for that visitor. If European rules matter to you, remove those tags or take advice before you rely on this banner alone.

Keep the message short and friendly. One line like “We use cookies to improve your shopping experience.” reads better than a legal paragraph — and the Learn-more link can carry the details.

Visitors browsing in private/incognito mode may see the banner again on each visit — private browsing wipes the saved choice when the window closes. That's how private mode works on every website, not a bug.
