How to add Cookies Consent Bar to a Grav website

Embed Cookies Consent Bar on Grav

01

Create a Cookies Consent Bar plugin for Grav on Common Ninja

First, create a Grav Cookies Consent Bar plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Cookies Consent Bar and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Cookies Consent Bar plugin

When you're done creating the Cookies Consent Bar plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Cookies Consent Bar Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Cookies Consent Bar plugin to your Grav website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Grav website.

04

Paste the code to your Grav website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Grav website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Grav’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Cookies Consent Bar Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Cookies Consent Bar plugin on your Grav website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Cookies Consent Bar plugin on your Grav plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Grav website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Cookies Consent Bar plugin to your Grav website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Grav website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Cookies Consent Bar widget when you collect analytics or marketing data and must be transparent about it. A clear, persistent bar that explains cookie usage and offers choices helps you align with privacy regulations and shows respect for visitors. Instead of hiding policies deep in a footer, you bring the key information to the surface in a concise way. This is particularly important for sites with European traffic, ad networks, or advanced tracking. A well worded consent bar can maintain trust while still giving you access to the data you need from informed users, reducing legal risk and friction with privacy aware visitors.
