From here, you can monitor compliance status, manage cookies and scripts, customize your banner&#8217;s appearance, and configure global settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onboarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first set up the Cookie Consent plugin, a guided wizard helps you get a compliant cookie banner live quickly. This process involves three steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select Consent Template: Choose between a GDPR (opt-in) or CCPA (opt-out) compliance model. This choice determines the default banner behavior, button configuration, and legal text.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opt-in (GDPR-style): Cookies and scripts are blocked until the user explicitly consents. Users can Accept, Reject, or Customize their preferences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opt-out (CCPA-style): Cookies are enabled by default. Users can click &#8220;Do Not Sell&#8221; to restrict data sharing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Layout: Choose between a full-width banner or a compact box format for your consent prompt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Initial Website Scan: The system automatically crawls your website to detect existing cookies and scripts, categorizing them into Necessary, Functional, Analytics, and Advertisement. You can skip this step and scan later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon completion, the banner is activated on your website, and you are redirected to the main dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details, see <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/get-started-with-elementor-cookie-consent\/\">Get started with Cookie Consent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Overview section provides a quick glance at your compliance status and consent performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1024x504.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1024x504.png 1024w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1536x756.png 1536w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.png 1730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Status<\/strong>: Displays whether the cookie banner is Active or Disabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulation template<\/strong>: Shows which regulation template (GDPR\/CCPA) is in use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Total cookies<\/strong>: Shows the total number of cookies detected and the number of cookie categories in use.
