# Carrd

> Add a GDPR & CCPA compliant cookie consent banner to your Carrd one-page site with CookieChimp. Works with Carrd Pro using the Embed widget.

Add a GDPR, ePrivacy and CCPA compliant [cookie consent banner](/why-use-a-cmp) to your Carrd one-page site. CookieChimp installs as a single Embed widget in the page head.

<Info>
  Custom code is available on **Carrd Pro Standard, Plus and Pro** plans. The free Carrd plan does not allow embedded scripts.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the snippet via a Carrd Embed widget">
    1. Open your site in the Carrd editor.
    2. Click the **+** (Add) button and choose **Embed**.
    3. In the Embed settings, set **Type** to **Code** and **Style** to **Head**. Setting it to **Head** places the script in `<head>` so it loads before the rest of the page.
    4. Paste the CookieChimp snippet into the **Code** field.
    5. Click **Done**, then publish your Carrd site from the top toolbar.

    <Tip>
      Carrd's built-in **Analytics** field (Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom etc. under **Site Settings → Analytics**) injects pixels server-side. To enforce consent, disable Carrd's built-in analytics and re-add them as Embed widgets with `type="text/plain"` and `data-category="analytics"` so CookieChimp can manage them.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow users to update their preferences">
    <Snippet file="install/cms-preferences-step.mdx" />

    On Carrd, the simplest pattern is to enable CookieChimp's built-in floating Privacy Trigger. If you want a "Cookie settings" link in your footer, add a Text element with an inline link and the `data-cc="show-preferencesModal"` attribute via an Embed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

* **"Embed → Code" option is not available** — you're on the free Carrd plan. Upgrade to Carrd Pro to unlock custom code.
* **Banner doesn't appear on the published site** — make sure your Carrd domain (both the `*.carrd.co` URL and any custom domain) is allowed in **Account Settings → Additional Domains** in your CookieChimp dashboard.
* **Banner shows in preview but not after publish** — Carrd caches published sites aggressively. Hard refresh (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R) and check on a fresh incognito window.

## Carrd cookie banner FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need Carrd Pro to use CookieChimp?">
    Yes. Embedding third-party scripts requires a Carrd Pro plan (Standard, Plus, or Pro). The free plan does not allow custom code.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does CookieChimp work with Carrd's form submissions?">
    Yes. Form submissions are user-initiated actions and the data they collect is covered by your form's own privacy notice, not the cookie banner. CookieChimp only governs storage and tracking scripts.
