Quick add to:

The Common Ninja Cookies Consent Bar is a free, no-code embed that displays a clear cookie notice and consent button on your website so visitors know about cookie usage upfront.

Write the consent message, pick a layout (bottom bar, top bar, modal), customize the acknowledgement button (shape, label, color), add a link to your privacy policy, pick from multiple skins, layer Custom CSS if needed, and paste a one-line embed snippet on Canva, Lovable, Google Sites, Framer, Base44, Webflow, and 200+ other platforms.

Use it as the first step toward GDPR / CCPA awareness on your site — a clear, persistent reminder that visitors can acknowledge in one tap, giving you a baseline consent UI without rebuilding your stack.

Why add a cookie consent bar to your website?

  • Surface a cookie notice without rebuilding your stack

    EU visitors expect a cookie notice on first visit. Many sites built on lightweight builders (Canva, Carrd, Google Sites) don't ship a native consent UI. This widget gives you a baseline notice with a clear acknowledge button in minutes — useful as a first step before deciding whether you need a full Consent Management Platform later.

  • Build trust with transparent messaging

    A visible cookie notice signals "we know data matters" — even to visitors outside the EU. The bar opens the door for a brief, honest statement about your privacy practices and links to the full policy for visitors who want detail. A small UX nudge that builds first-impression credibility.

  • Persistent until acknowledged

    The bar stays visible until the visitor taps acknowledge — not dismissed by scroll or by clicking elsewhere on the page. After acknowledgment, the bar hides for the visitor (tracked via cookie) so they don't see it again on subsequent visits or page navigations within the session.

  • Not a full Consent Management Platform (CMP)

    This widget displays a clear notice with an acknowledge button. It does NOT block scripts before consent, manage per-category opt-ins (analytics / marketing / functional), or generate cookie-policy text. For strict GDPR enforcement (large enterprises, EU-heavy traffic), pair this with a dedicated CMP (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Iubenda) — or use the widget as the visible UI while a CMP handles the script-blocking under the hood.

Get started in 3 steps

How it works

  1. Write your consent message

    Compose a short, plain-language notice that explains your site uses cookies and links to your privacy policy for the full detail. Keep the message human — "We use cookies to improve your experience. See our privacy policy for details." — and avoid legalese unless your jurisdiction requires it. Add a link to your privacy or cookie policy page.

  2. Pick a layout and customize

    Choose a layout — bottom bar (the most common, stays out of the visitor's way), top bar (more prominent, signals urgency for high-priority compliance), or modal (blocks the page until acknowledged, the strictest option). Customize the acknowledge button shape (pill, square, rounded), button label (Accept, Got it, OK), and color. Pick a skin or layer Custom CSS for pixel-level brand match.

  3. Embed on your site

    Copy the one-line embed snippet and paste it on Canva, Lovable, Google Sites, Framer, Webflow, or any of the 200+ supported platforms. The bar persists on the page until the visitor acknowledges, then hides for that visitor (tracked via cookie). Edits in the Common Ninja editor push to every embed without re-paste.

What you get with the Cookies Consent Bar

Simple, straightforward consent UI

A short message, an acknowledge button, an optional policy-link — no per-category opt-in toggles, no legal-jargon walls. Designed for sites that want a clear notice without the complexity of a full CMP.

Various button shapes and labels

Pill, square, rounded — pick the button shape that matches your design system. Set the button label (Accept, Got it, OK, Continue) and color. The acknowledge button is the visitor's one-tap path out of the bar.

Multiple consent bar skins

Pick from a library of pre-designed skins (minimal, brand-vibrant, soft-pastel, dark-mode, neutral) for a fast visual fit. Each skin is a fully styled starting point; tune typography, accent colors, and button styling from there.

Custom CSS for pixel-level control

Layer Custom CSS over any skin to control bar height, font weight, button hover states, border radius, shadow depth, and per-breakpoint sizing. Tight integration with your design system without rebuilding the widget.
