Features

Cookie Byte is an important addon to make your website fit for the current privacy and cookie policies. In addition to the usual cookie consent modal, in which users can selectively accept their desired cookies, the addon offers numerous other features so that you no longer have to worry about how to handle cookies placed by your website.

• Control panel settings: Change the addon's settings directly where you prefer to do it: In the control panel. Activate the addon, add cookie categories, remove a code snippet - rule over all cookies!
• Code snippets and their cookies: Code snippets are loaded on the website only when the user agrees to the cookies required for them - without reloading the website (so your analytics data won't be corrupted - yesss!).
• Cookie content covers: Some content must be hidden as long as the corresponding cookies have not been accepted,
• such as YouTube or Google Maps embeds. Content covers will handle this for you with just one simple tag.
• Customisability: The modal and the covers are completely customizable - change the text and position of the modal as you see fit.
• Developer friendly: To make your life easier, the addon comes with predefined styles and inline code. But rest assured: If you need more control, you can customize everything!

Future features

In future releases you will see more awesome features like:

• Second modal type: We'll add a second modal to choose from, which features submenus and an opt-out which requires more steps - for our "I wish more users would accept the statistical cookies so we have more analytics data for our online-marketing" colleagues.
• Consent records: How many people have seen the modal? How many people have accepted? How many have bounced off? So many questions - soon we will provide the answers!
• Geo-Targeting: In many countries, the cookie modal does not need to be displayed at all. So why bother the users from these countries with it? Just exclude them with our geo-tracking.
