Categories

Categories are used to organize vendors into groups. You can create as many categories as you need and edit the default ones.

The default categories are:

  • Essential
  • Analytics
  • Marketing
  • Personalization

A category becomes active when it contains an active service or storage items. Only active categories are shown to visitors in the banner.

Vendors

Storage items set by a vendor/service can be grouped together. Services must be associated with a category and each service will have a toggle inside its category section to allow users to opt-in or opt-out of the service. You can then use the services attribute to block scripts until consent.

CookieChimp offers a vendor library of popular services that contain storage items set by the service. Simply select the ones used in your site and add.

If you are using a service that is not in our vendor library, you can create a service manually.

Storage Items

Storage items can be of three types:

  • Cookie
  • Local Storage
  • Session Storage

Storage items can be grouped together into a service or be added to a category directly.
