Cookiebot support
  • Updated

If you want to target the collection of consent to visitors from specific countries or regions in the world, Cookiebot CMP can in real-time determine which country the individual user comes from, and display the consent banner only to visitors from the selected countries and regions.

For all other visitors your website will function unchanged.

 

What regions are available?

In our Premium plan, you can easily select the territory for website visitors who will be shown the cookie consent banner and be asked for consent:
  • All visitors (default)
  • Visitors from the EU only
  • Visitors from specific countries and/or regions (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Oceania). With the possibility to choose sub-regions as well as one or more individual countries under each region.

    I am trying to show the cookie consent banner only to EU visitors. I've also got GTM triggers set up based on cookie consent. However, now non-EU visitors are not receiving cookies either, even though they haven't declined consent... they haven't seen the cookie bar so they don't have the cookies at all. Is there a workaround?

    Hello Webteam

    The United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU and it is not considered for EU visitors only.

    You would have to select the region specifically inside the manager now.
