How to integrate Cookiebot with Webflow

While Cookiebot doesn't offer a native Webflow app, you can implement comprehensive cookie consent management through Google Tag Manager or direct script embedding. These methods give you greater control over consent flows, enable conditional script loading, and provide detailed compliance reporting that goes beyond basic cookie notices.

Use Google Tag Manager (recommended)

Google Tag Manager (GTM) provides the most robust way to implement Cookiebot on Webflow sites. This method ensures proper script blocking and gives you granular control over when third-party scripts load based on user consent.

What you can do:

• Block all tracking scripts until users provide consent
• Manage multiple tags and scripts from one interface
• Update consent logic without touching site code
• Implement advanced consent scenarios

How it works:

1. Create a Google Tag Manager account and container
2. Add Cookiebot as a tag within GTM
3. Configure consent triggers for other tags (Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.)
4. Add the GTM container snippet to Webflow's Custom Code section
5. Test consent flows and script blocking behavior

This set up is best for sites with multiple tracking scripts, e-commerce stores needing precise consent control, or teams wanting centralized tag management.

Direct script embedding

Add Cookiebot directly to your Webflow site through the custom code settings. This straightforward approach works well for basic consent management needs.

What you can do:

• Display consent banners automatically
• Block cookies loaded after Cookiebot initializes
• Add cookie declarations to privacy pages
• Customize banner appearance through Cookiebot's dashboard

Setup process:

1. Create a Cookiebot account and add your domain
2. Configure your consent banner design and text
3. Copy the Cookiebot script from your dashboard
4. In Webflow, go to Site Settings > Custom Code
5. Paste the script in the Head Code section
6. Publish your site to activate the consent banner

Webflow places custom scripts at the end of the  tag, which may allow some cookies to load before Cookiebot initializes. For complete blocking control, use the GTM method.

Cookie declaration embedding

Display a detailed list of all cookies used on your site for transparency and compliance.

Implementation:

1. Get the Cookie Declaration script from Cookiebot
2. Add an Embed element to your privacy policy page in Webflow
3. Paste the declaration script:

<script id="CookieDeclaration" 
src="https://consent.cookiebot.com/YOUR-ID/cd.js" 
type="text/javascript" async></script>

Take note, the declaration updates automatically as Cookiebot scans detect new cookies.

Build with Webflow and Cookiebot APIs

For advanced implementations, combine Cookiebot's JavaScript API with Webflow's capabilities to create custom consent experiences.

Client-side consent handling

Use Cookiebot's JavaScript API to build dynamic features based on consent status. Access consent data directly in the browser to control content visibility or trigger custom workflows.

Available methods:

• Check consent status with window.Cookiebot.consent
• Verify category consent using Cookiebot.hasConsented('marketing')
• React to consent changes through event listeners

Example use case: Show personalized content only to users who've accepted marketing cookies:

window.addEventListener('CookiebotOnAccept', function() {
  if (Cookiebot.consent.marketing) {
  // Display targeted content
  }
});

Consent data synchronization

While Cookiebot's REST API requires an enterprise plan, you can capture consent events client-side and send them to external systems.

Workflow:

1. Listen for Cookiebot consent events in JavaScript
2. Send consent data to your webhook endpoint
3. Update Webflow CMS items via Webflow's API
4. Create audit trails for compliance reporting

Implementation example:

window.addEventListener('CookiebotOnAccept', function() {
  fetch('your-webhook-url', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
  consent: Cookiebot.consent,
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
  })
  });
});

What you can build

Integrating Cookiebot with Webflow enables privacy-compliant websites that respect user choices while maintaining business functionality.

• E-commerce stores with regional compliance: Build online shops that automatically adapt consent requirements based on visitor location, showing GDPR banners to EU visitors while maintaining different approaches for other regions
• Marketing sites with conditional analytics: Create lead generation websites that only load conversion tracking pixels after obtaining proper consent, ensuring accurate attribution while respecting privacy laws
• Multi-language business sites: Develop corporate websites serving global audiences with consent banners automatically displayed in the visitor's language from 47+ supported options
• Content platforms with personalization: Build membership sites that adapt content recommendations and features based on user privacy preferences while maintaining full compliance documentation
