# How to Add a Cookie Banner to Your Squarespace Website Using Consentik

## Overview
Adding a cookie consent banner to your Squarespace site helps you comply with privacy regulations (like GDPR) — and shows transparency to your visitors about cookie usage. This guide walks through creating a Consentik banner, adding it to your site, and verifying installation.

## Step 1 — Create and Configure Your Consentik Cookie Banner
1. Go to [Consentik’s registration](https://cmp.consentik.com/admin/register) page and create an account.
2. Once registered, add your website’s domain and follow the onboarding steps.
3. During onboarding, configure the banner settings:
    * Choose the banner type (e.g. Lite, Basic, or Advanced).
    * Select the regulation coverage (e.g. enable for all countries or limit to certain regions).
4. At the end of onboarding, Consentik will generate a unique installation code for your banner. Copy this code (e.g. using a provided “Copy” button).

## Step 2 — Add the Consentik Code to Your Squarespace Site
1. Log in to your Squarespace Dashboard.
2. In the left-hand menu, navigate to the **Website** (or **Settings**) section.![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/8/3/8/3/8383e5404a31c000/image_m3fk93.png)

1. Paste the installation code from Consentik into the **Header** input box.
2. Save your changes.

## Step 3 — Verify the Banner Installation
1. Return to Consentik’s setup screen.
2. Click the **Verify** button.
3. Consentik will check if the banner is properly installed and active on your website.
If verification succeeds, the consent banner should now be live on your site.

## Notes & Best Practices
* Even though customization options are possible, make sure your banner stays clear and easy to read.
* If your site receives visitors from regions with strict privacy laws, ensure consent options (Accept, Decline, Manage) are clearly presented.
* After installation, test the banner — ideally in an incognito/private browser window — to confirm it displays correctly for new visitors.
