How do I get the cookie notice working?

[Mike0071]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the Weebly cookie notice to work on my site.

So I've set it to "EU visitors" but nothing is popping up, I've also set it to "All visitors" but again nothing is popping up.

Is there something else which needs to be done to get this working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as was looking to upgrade and purchase a plan soon but it's no good if I can't get this working.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi, @Mike007. Welcome to the Community!

It might be best to use a cookie banner option from the App Center, or a third-party widget that you can find doing a Google search. There are some issues with the current banner and it won't display; a third-party option should work great and will likely give you more control of the banner.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your reply.

I had a look at the Weebly addons but all I can see is one addon which requires an upgraded Weebly account to use unfortunately... I'm somewhat reluctant to upgrade at the moment with the actual Weebly cookie notification being broken.

So far I've used a website recommended in the Weebly forums named "CookieYes" to add a cookie notification to my site giving visitors the choice whether to opt in or out of cookies. This is working.

I've also removed the mailing list I'd added to my website - in case this makes things simpler (in that I won't be storing any personal details etc).

However do I need to add a privacy policy in regards to what cookies/info I'm storing? (I have no idea what cookies/info Weebly is storing?). Although having explored the cookie notification banner provided by "CookieYes" on my website I cannot see any link or button to a privacy policy - only the option to opt in or out of specific cookies.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Glad to hear you have a cookie solution working for you. You may want to see this article in our support site which outlines cookies we are using. I'm not sure what the laws of your locale say, but you'll probably just need to make a regular page of your site and add your privacy policy content to that.

Why is the cookie Opt Out Button still in the control panel if it is not working??
