Introduction

The Cookiebot CMP Privacy trigger functions as a shortcut to the users' consent state information on your website. Showing a mini version of the cookie banner, it enables users to easily check or update their consent. This is in line with demands for more transparency and providing users control of their own data, as is required by various privacy legislations such as GDPR.

Key features of the widget include:

• Easier and more intuitive consent
• Seamless integration with our Swift banner design
• Customizable colors, text, and position
• Full mobile responsiveness
• WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance.

How does the Privacy trigger work

Your website users will encounter the cookie banner upon first visiting the website (or every time consent renewal is needed). After providing a consent state via the cookie banner, the Privacy trigger will appear as a small Cookiebot CMP icon, present on all pages in a placement of your choice. Clicking it opens a small window showing:

• Current consent state divided per cookie category:
• 🔒 Necessary (always enabled)
• ✔️ Preferences
• ✔️ Statistics
• ✔️ Marketing
• Date and time of when the current valid consent has been given
• Consent ID (an anonymous, random and encrypted key value, used for proof of consent)
• Option to withdraw consent (only necessary cookies will be allowed from then)
• Option to change consent (recalling the cookie banner)

How to enable/disable the Privacy trigger

The Privacy trigger is enabled by default, but you can disable and enable it as follows:

1. Login into the Cookiebot CMP Admin
2. Select "Configuration" in the left-hand menu
3. Select the "Privacy" tab
4. Click the toggle labeled "Show privacy button"

How to change the color of the Privacy Trigger

Three colored circles are displayed under the section "Icon color", selecting one of these applies the corresponding color.
You have the following options:

1. White
   A black toggle logo on a white background.
2. Black
   A white toggle logo on a black background.
3. Custom
   The toggle logo will be displayed in either black or white, depending on which background color you select. This is applied automatically based on which color has the highest contrast with your selected color.

How to change the position of the Privacy trigger

The default position (10px from the bottom and 10px from the left) may not be optimal for your website. It's possible that the Privacy Trigger would obscure important elements, or just not look right in that position.

You can select in which corner of the screen the Privacy Trigger needs to be placed in the drop-down menu labeled "Position".
You can then adjust the offset in the two fields under "Distance from", which will correlate to the two sides adjacent to the corner you selected.

How to change the theme of the Privacy Trigger

When the Privacy Trigger is clicked, a small overview window expands from it. This window too can be adjusted to your needs in terms of colors.

As with the Privacy Trigger itself, you have the following options:

1. White
   A black toggle logo on a white background.
2. Black
   A white toggle logo on a black background.
3. Custom
   The toggle logo will be displayed in either black or white, depending on which background color you select. This is applied automatically based on which color has the highest contrast with your selected color.
