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. The Cookiebot CMP Privacy Trigger unfolds a small consent banner for easy end-user consent on any subpage of your domain. 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](https://manage.cookiebot.com/en/manage/) 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)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) to ensure accessibility compliance, e.g. easily readable contrasts. --- ## Easier compliance, better customer relations Creating a more sustainable internet economy in which data privacy and data-driven business are not polar opposites, but integral parts to trustful customer relations comes down to smart, well-built solutions. **Transparency** and **control** are the cornerstones of the [EU’s GDPR](https://www.cookiebot.com/en/gdpr/), the backbone of Cookiebot CMP and the essence of the Privacy Trigger.
