Cookiebot detects and controls all cookies and trackers on a website and automatically manages end-users’ consent. This tool helps to fully comply with global privacy regulations.

Note: Make sure you’ve published your website before connecting the service so that CookieBot could scan your site properly. 

Adding

  1. In Sitebuilder, click Settings > Privacy.
  2. Select the Cookiebot Concent Management Platform by Usercentric option.

Scanning

Cookiebot will start scanning your website. As soon as the scan is complete, you will receive an email with a detailed report. Depending on your website size, this process can take up to 24 hours. You can also check the scan status under the Reports tab.

Once you have received the report, you can go to the Cookies tab and review the list of cookies found on your website.
