Enabling Cookiebot
Cookiebot is a third party platform that helps website owners manage cookies and tracking technologies to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations. We recommend utilizing Cookiebot for managing cookies, GDPR compliance, and adhering to Google Consent Mode 2.
In this article, we will show you how to install Cookiebot on your Without Code website. Note that Without Code is not affiliated with Cookiebot.
Installing Cookiebot
Create an account at cookiebot.com and copy the HTML code needed to add Cookiebot to your Without Code website (during this process, you will add your site domain and configure your settings).
Place the Cookiebot script in the “Head HTML" section within the editor under “settings & SEO > Header HTML”. Any scripts that follow will be blocked until the user provides consent.
Note: We've recently made a change to the editor output to ensure most of our scripts load at the bottom of the page (to improve Google Pagespeed rankings). So the Cookiebot script successfully blocks 99% of these scripts. The only scripts loading before Cookiebot are first-party technical cookies that are required for the site to function.
Declaration Script
The Cookiebot declaration script is a piece of JavaScript code that is included in a website to manage cookie consent and ensure that cookies are only set and used according to the preferences of the user.
To use the declaration script, create a new page (or add it to your existing TOS) and put the script within an HTML widget. Please do not use this script on the "privacy" page under "privacy settings". It'll break the content within this page. You should create your own privacy or Terms of Service page.
Here's what the Cookiebot script looks like within the editor. Place it above all other scripts in your header HTML (if you have any). The scripts that follow it are for analytics and Google Tag Manager, which is now blocked before consent from Cookiebot.
Additional Notes
You may encounter issues of blocked images when the user doesn't accept the cookie consent. According to Cookiebot, this is the appropriate behavior:
This is the expected behavior of Cookiebot auto-blocking mode. What you are describing is that the automatic cookie-blocking feature holds back any script that sets other than strictly necessary cookies until user consent for the specific cookie category has been obtained. The reason why the auto-blocking mode does not display images is that those elements are setting cookies on the site and therefore they have been holding on (not displayed) until the user consent for the specific cookie category has been obtained.
