Testing Tip

After customizing your banner, test it on your actual website in an incognito/private browsing window to see exactly how users will experience it.

Best Practices

✓Keep your description clear and concise - most users won't read long paragraphs
✓Ensure sufficient color contrast for accessibility (minimum 4.5:1 ratio)
✓Test your banner on mobile devices - it should be easy to interact with on small screens
✓Make "Accept" and "Reject" buttons equally prominent to avoid dark patterns
✓Use your brand colors but ensure the banner is clearly visible

Multi-Language Support

If your website serves users in multiple languages, you can create different banner configurations for each language. The banner will automatically detect the user's browser language and display the appropriate version.
