Modifying or personalizing text and content in the cookie banner can indeed be done in the cookie manager.
However, if you are looking for a different style or look and feel for your cookie banner, you can also design this within the custom template in the cookie manager.
If you don't have the time for this, you can check out our custom designs. They might offer a good starting point for this.
