Consentik Shopline: Delay Banner

What it does

Delay banner holds back the cookie banner for a set number of seconds after the page loads, instead of showing it the moment a visitor arrives.
Some merchants use it so the first impression of a landing page isn’t a consent dialog, or so the banner appears after a hero animation has finished. The delay affects only when the banner becomes visible — it does not change what Consentik blocks in the background.

Availability

Delay banner is available on PLUS. On the Free plan the field is visible but locked, with an upgrade prompt.

How to set it up

1. Open the Consentik app in your Shopline admin.
2. Go to Settings → the Behavior tab.
3. Expand the Interaction & visibility settings card.
4. Find Delay before showing banner and enter a whole number of seconds.
5. Save.

The default is 0, which means the banner appears as soon as it is ready. There is no fixed maximum — the app will accept a large value, so enter it carefully. We recommend 0–5 seconds.
The field accepts whole numbers only. Negative values and non-numeric input are converted to 0 automatically, without an error message.

What visitors see during the delay

While the timer is running, the banner is not rendered at all — there is no placeholder, faded box, or partial state. The page looks as though Consentik is not installed.
Two things are worth knowing:

• Script blocking is not delayed. If you have auto-blocking or Google Consent Mode enabled, third-party cookies and scripts stay blocked for the entire delay, exactly as they would before a visitor answers the banner. The delay is purely visual.
• “Block user interaction until consent” is also delayed. That overlay appears together with the banner, so during the delay window visitors can browse and click freely. If your goal is to force a consent decision before any interaction, do not combine it with a delay.
