FAQs

The Wix Cookie Banner is no longer available for new sites. The Usercentrics cookie banner is now available as an alternative solution. If you already have a Wix Cookie Banner active in your site, the banner continues to collect consent from your users and you can continue to customize your banner and link to your legal notices.

A cookie consent banner is a notification that informs your visitors on how their cookies are being used on your site. Wix has partnered with Usercentrics to offer you a consent banner solution that includes automated monthly site scans, translation in up to 60 languages, and is supported for Google Consent Mode v2.

About cookies

When a site visitor first enters your site, only essential cookies and scripts are loaded. In order to use other types of cookies and scripts (e.g., Functional, Marketing, Analytics), you must obtain consent from your visitor. Visitors can either approve all cookie types by simply clicking Accept All, or only allow specific types by disabling the toggles for those cookie types.

Important information about Marketing & Analytics integrations

To make the Usercentrics for Wix cookie banner appear on your site, head over to the Wix Privacy Center and add the consent banner to your site. The basic version of the Usercentrics cookie banner is free to use and fully GDPR-compliant.

If you wish to access premium features such as privacy trigger placement, customizable text and legal document linking, you'll need to sign up for a monthly or yearly Usercentrics plan. Usercentrics offers a 14-day trial period on sign up.

To add the cookie banner:

Go to Privacy & Cookies in your site's dashboard.
Click Add to Site next to Add a cookie consent banner.

Review the Usercentrics information and click Agree & Add to continue.
(Optional) To access premium banner features, click Upgrade Now.
1. Click Start your free trial.
2. Click Select and choose a monthly or yearly plan renewal cycle.
3. Click Continue to Checkout.
4. Add your billing information for app renewal and click Submit Purchase.

Step 2 | Run a scan of your site

Perform a scan of your site to identify components that may require user consent. The scan shows both Wix and 3rd-party components as well as describing the cookie type (e.g., Functional, Marketing, Analytics) they employ.

If the scan tells you that action is required, you can review the relevant component as well as the suggested courses of action presented in your scan report. An automated scan is scheduled once monthly, but you can choose to re-scan your site at any time.

To run a scan:

Go to Cookie Consent Banner in your site's dashboard.
Click Website Scan.
Choose one of the following:
- For first-time users, click Scan.
- To re-scan your site, click Re-scan website now.
Click View scan results to review your scan report.

Step 3 | Customize your banner's look & texts

After enabling the cookie banner, make it your own by customizing the design. Premium users can also edit colors, layout, theme and adjust the text to your tone & voice.

Additionally, premium users can link the banner to a privacy policy so visitors are aware of all of the ways your site collects, uses, discloses, and manages their data.

  - Redisplay your banner: Click Resurface to force the consent banner to reappear for all users.

Step 4 | Enable your banner

Note: You can use the toggle to disable your banner if you need to.
