Start by creating an account at [`https://cmp.consentik.com/admin/register`](https://cmp.consentik.com/admin/register). 2. Once registered, create a domain for your website and complete the onboarding steps. 3. 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. * ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/8/3/8/3/8383e5404a31c000/image_69lcjp.png) 4. Once you complete the onboarding steps, the app will generate your unique installation code. This code needs to be pasted into your website’s tag.
