Cookiebot CMP Privacy Trigger for weightless consent management
Fastest and easiest cookie consent becomes even faster and easier, again
Right behind the launch of the latest generation of cookie banners from Cookiebot CMP comes the Privacy Trigger – a small, weightless element for your website that gives visitors quick access to check or change their consent state faster and easier, bringing flexibility and simplicity to an area that users often find tiresome and complicated.
A key requirement of the EU’s GDPR is that users must be able to withdraw their consent state just as easy as they gave it.
The subtle, floating Privacy Trigger from Cookiebot CMP gives your website’s visitors access to check or change their consent state, i.e. to opt in or out of categories of cookies, give or withdraw consent as easy as with the flick of a mouse click.
Your website will no longer need to have a cookie declaration on a separate subpage that users must navigate to for them to change their consent state – with one simple click the Privacy Trigger unfolds a miniature banner showing their consent information and giving them easy access to change their consent state.
With the Cookiebot CMP Privacy Trigger on your website, you provide end-users with the easiest and most flexible solution to this key consent requirement from the EU’s GDPR – one that brings transparency and control to data privacy in an effortless way.

How does the Cookiebot CMP Privacy Trigger work?
The Privacy Trigger from Cookiebot CMP works as a shortcut for users to access their consent state information, making cookie consent a more seamless integration of the overall user experience on your website.
As always, when a user lands on your website, they will give consent to cookies through the Cookiebot CMP consent banner. Once given, the consent banner folds itself into a small and subtle Privacy Trigger hovering at a position of choice on your website.
Users can then click on the Privacy Trigger to unfold a mini version of the cookie banner, giving them quick access to easily check or change their consent state, opt in to cookies or withdraw consent already given – at any given time on any given place on your domain.
How to enable, disable and customize the Privacy Trigger
The Cookiebot CMP Privacy Trigger is not enabled by default on existing domains but needs to be activated in the Manager by ticking the checkbox named “Show Privacy Trigger”. However, for all new domains created with Cookiebot CMP, the Privacy Trigger will be enabled as default.
Once implemented, you can customize the position of the Privacy Trigger to find the ideal layout for your website. Place the Privacy Trigger in one of the four corners of your website and configure distance from bottom and margins to get a detailed, seamless fit with your design.
Free plans with Cookiebot CMP can choose between dark and light themes for the Privacy Trigger, but won’t be able to customize it additionally.
The Privacy Trigger also supports several script attributes that allows you to customize its position settings on each individual domain, effectively overriding domain group settings.
Choose between different color themes for the closed version of the Privacy Trigger (in its hovering state) and the open version (in its unfolded mini version).
The Privacy Trigger can be changed to any color that might fit your website, but we recommend following the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) to ensure accessibility compliance, e.g. easily readable contrasts.
