How to Add Consentik Cookie Banner on WordPress Sites
Step 1: Configure Your Banner in the Consentik Dashboard
Before installing the plugin, you need to create and configure your cookie banner within the Consentik platform.
- Start by creating an account at
https://cmp.consentik.com/admin/register. - Once registered, create a domain for your website and complete the onboarding steps.
- During this process, you will customize your banner’s behavior:
- Select the cookie banner type: Choose from Lite, Basic, or Advanced options based on your needs.
- Select regulations: Enable the banner for all countries or for specific regions.
- Once you complete the onboarding steps, the app will generate your unique installation code. This code needs to be pasted into your website’s <head> tag. Click the Copy button to copy the code to your clipboard.
Step 2: Install the Consentik CMP on WordPress
The easiest way to add the banner to WordPress is by using the dedicated Consentik plugin.
- First, you need to download the Consentik CMP WordPress Plugin. The downloaded file will be a
.zipfile.
- Log in to your WordPress Admin dashboard.
- From the main navigation menu on the left, go to Plugins and click on Add New.
- On the “Add Plugins” page, click the Upload Plugin button located at the top.
- Click Choose File, select the
consentik-cmp-plugin.zipfile you downloaded earlier, and click Install Now.
Step 3: Activate and Configure the Plugin
Once the plugin is installed, the final step is to activate it and connect it to your Consentik account.
- After the installation is finished, click the Activate Plugin button.
- Navigate to the Consentik CMP settings page, which will now appear in your WordPress sidebar.
- In the Consentik CMP Configuration section, you will see two fields: Site ID and Instance ID.
- Enter the corresponding IDs that you obtained from your Consentik account in Step 1.
- Click the Save Changes button. Your Consentik cookie banner will now be active on your website.
