Connect Tag Manager. We’ll do the fiddly bit.

Cookie Copilot sets up your banner and Google Consent Mode v2 inside your own Google Tag Manager container. Most sites are done in about five minutes, without touching any code.
Start set-up

Five steps, one coffee

  1. Add your website

    Type your address. We load your homepage and list what we find: Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, Hotjar and other trackers, your Tag Manager container, and any cookie banner you already use.

  2. Connect Google Tag Manager

    Sign in with Google and choose your container. We ask for permission to edit, version and publish containers, and nothing else. The access lasts about an hour, sits in an encrypted cookie in your browser and is never saved on our servers.

  3. Review every change

    We list each tag and what it needs. Google’s own tags read Consent Mode by themselves, so they’re left alone. Tags that fire regardless of consent get a suggested category, which you can change. Another consent tool’s tags are paused, not deleted.

  4. Publish

    We add the Cookie Copilot Consent tag on the Consent Initialization trigger, so it runs before anything else, then publish a new container version. It’s an ordinary Tag Manager version: you can see exactly what changed, and roll back from Tag Manager if you need to.

  5. Check it’s live

    We look at your site again to confirm the banner is loading. From then on, every visitor’s choice is recorded in your dashboard.

No Tag Manager? One line does it.

Paste this at the top of your site’s head, before any other scripts. Your dashboard gives you the line with your own site ID.

<script src="https://app.cookiecopilot.com/s/your-site.js"></script>
WordPress
Add it with a header and footer plugin, or in your theme’s header.php, just after <head>.
Shopify
Online Store, Themes, Edit code, then theme.liquid. Paste it just after <head>.
Squarespace
Settings, Advanced, Code Injection, then the Header box.
Wix
Settings, Custom code, Add custom code. Choose All pages and Head.

Good questions

Will this break my existing tags?
No. Google’s tags carry on working and adjust to each visitor’s choice. Other tracking tags wait until the visitor allows the right category, which is what the law asks for. You see every change before it’s published.
Do you keep access to my Google account?
No. Google’s access token lasts about an hour and is stored only in an encrypted cookie in your browser. When it expires, our access ends. You can also remove it at any time from your Google account’s security settings.
Can I undo it?
Yes. Everything we publish is a normal Tag Manager version, so you can go back to the previous version from Tag Manager. Paused tags are still in your container; unpause them to restore them.
What about tracking code that isn’t in Tag Manager?
Scripts in your site’s code need one small change: mark each one with the consent category it needs, and it waits for that consent. If they’re already marked for Cookiebot, they work as they are.
