Introduction

Some data protection legislations, such as the the Italian Data Protection Authority (See official guidelines here), require the consent banner to contain a "✖" close button. This has now been added to your banner configuration options at Cookiebot CMP.

How to enable a close icon on your banner

What happens when users click the close icon on my banner?

The action of clicking the close icon is equal to a full opt-out, which means users will continue on the website with necessary cookies only. In your consent log and consent statistics, this will therefore be reported the same as a user opting out of non-necessary cookies.

Notifying your customers on what will happen when they click the "✖" on your banner can be done by adding a warning text in the main banner text. See also: How-can-I-customize-the-content-in-the-cookie-consent-banner-

How to replace the close icon with custom text

If you want to replace the close icon "✖" with your own text, you can do so by adding the following script:

<script>
  window.addEventListener("CookiebotOnDialogDisplay", () => {
    const txt = "Close!";
    document.querySelector(".CybotCookiebotBannerCloseButton").innerHTML = txt;
})
</script>

Change the txt variable with your own custom text and you are done!
