Osano Cookie Consent

How to integrate Osano Cookie Consent with Webflow

Integrating Osano with Webflow gives you complete control over cookie compliance without requiring technical expertise. While Osano doesn't offer a marketplace app, the direct embed method provides more flexibility for customization and works seamlessly with Webflow's visual builder.

The integration enables automatic cookie blocking based on user consent, detailed compliance reporting, and the ability to manage all consent settings from Osano's dashboard without touching code. This approach is ideal for businesses needing enterprise-grade compliance features or managing multiple Webflow sites from a central location.

Integration methods

Use the Osano embed

Add Osano to your Webflow site by embedding their JavaScript code in your project settings. This method works for any Webflow site on a paid plan and takes minutes to implement.

Key capabilities:

• Automatic cookie blocking based on user consent preferences

• Customizable consent banners that match your brand design

• Multi-language support with automatic geo-location detection

• Compliance modes including Listener, Permissive, and Strict modes

• Consent logging for audit trails and regulatory reporting

To get started, create your configuration in the Osano Admin Portal and copy the generated osano.js script. In Webflow, navigate to Project Settings > Custom Code and paste the script in the Head Code section before any other scripts. After publishing your site, the consent banner appears automatically based on your Osano configuration.

All banner customization, text updates, and compliance settings are managed through Osano's dashboard. No code changes are needed after initial setup unless you add new scripts that require classification.

Build with Webflow and Osano APIs

For advanced implementations requiring programmatic control, both platforms offer APIs that enable custom workflows and deeper integrations.

Core capabilities:

• Consent state management via Osano's JavaScript SDK

• Conditional script loading based on user consent decisions

• Custom consent workflows triggered by Webflow form submissions

• Automated compliance reporting through consent data exports

The APIs enable use cases like dynamically loading marketing scripts only after consent, creating custom preference centers in Webflow's CMS, or syncing consent states with customer profiles.

Programmatic consent management

Control consent states and respond to user choices programmatically using Osano's JavaScript SDK. This enables conditional loading of analytics, marketing, and other third-party scripts based on real-time consent decisions.

Implementation approach:

• Use getCurrentConsentDecision() to check consent status before loading scripts

• Listen for consent changes with window.Osano.cm.listen('change', callback)

• Open the consent preferences with window.Osano.cm.showDrawer()

This method works well for sites with complex tracking requirements or those needing to integrate consent states with other systems. Common implementations include loading Google Analytics only after analytics consent or triggering CRM updates when marketing preferences change.

CMS-driven compliance workflows

Connect Webflow's CMS with Osano's consent data to create dynamic, consent-aware experiences. Use Webflow's API to update CMS items based on consent events or create audit logs for compliance reporting.

Key workflows:

• Update user profiles in Webflow CMS with consent preferences

• Create consent audit logs as CMS collection items

• Build preference centers using Webflow forms connected to Osano

• Display different content based on consent states stored in CMS

Configure webhooks or use automation tools like Zapier to sync consent updates between Osano and Webflow's CMS. This approach helps maintain compliance records and enables personalized content delivery based on user privacy choices.

What you can build

Integrating Osano Cookie Consent with Webflow enables you to create privacy-compliant websites that respect user preferences while maintaining full design control. Here are practical implementations you can build:

• E-commerce sites with regional compliance: Build online stores that automatically display GDPR banners for EU visitors and CCPA notices for California users, with cookie blocking that prevents tracking until consent is given

• Multi-language marketing sites: Create global marketing websites that show consent banners in the visitor's language, with customized messaging and categories for different regions

• SaaS product sites with preference centers: Develop software product sites featuring custom preference pages where users can manage their consent choices, integrated with your CMS for personalized experiences

• Agency portfolio sites: Design client showcase sites that demonstrate privacy compliance best practices while maintaining brand aesthetics through fully customized consent interfaces
