CCPA compliance
Comply with California Consumer Privacy Act with the same banner. Opt-out instead of opt-in if needed.
Use case 3
Analytics gating
Don't fire Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any tracker until the visitor opts in. Keeps your hands clean.
Frequently asked questions
Is this GDPR-compliant?
Yes. The banner shows before any tracking scripts load, captures explicit consent, and remembers the choice. Combine with the JS API to gate Google Tag Manager.
Does it work with Google Tag Manager?
Yes. The recommended pattern: load GTM only after FloatMessage fires the cta:click event when a visitor accepts.
Can I customize the banner?
Yes. Edit the HTML and CSS in the visual editor. Change colors, copy, button labels, and link to your privacy policy.
Will the banner show on every page load?
Only until the visitor accepts or declines. Set dismiss behavior to 'Permanent' so it never shows again after their first choice.
Is it free?
Yes. Cookie banner is included on every FloatMessage plan, including the free 30-day trial. No add-on fees.
Can I show the consent banner only in the EU, UK, or California?
Yes. Combine the cookie banner with geo-targeting — show it only for visitors whose IP resolves to EU member states, the UK, or California (state-level on US traffic). Visitors outside those regions never see the banner, reducing friction where consent isn't required.
Does it gate analytics, advertising, and chat scripts separately?
Yes. Use the FloatMessage JS API events (cta:click) to load each tracking script independently after consent — Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Hotjar, etc. You can also gate the FloatMessage chat / push subscription itself behind consent if your privacy posture requires it.
Does the banner record proof of consent for audits?
Yes. Each consent decision is timestamped on the visitor and exportable from the dashboard, satisfying the 'demonstrate consent' requirement under GDPR Art. 7. Combine with a webhook to forward consent events into your audit log.
