Tips
- Start with the Layout choice — it changes the overall look the most; fine-tune the rest afterwards.
- Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a calmer, still version automatically.
Troubleshooting
- This is a consent notice, not a full consent manager: it has one choice (all optional cookies or none), not per-category toggles (analytics, marketing). Scripts must be marked by hand.
- Without JavaScript nothing is shown, so no choice can be recorded.
- The privacy link hides itself when no published privacy page is chosen (this site has none).
- A change not showing on the live site is almost always a page cache — clear your caching plugin or host cache.
- Works well with: Login Page Designer, Maintenance Mode.
