Enabling a cookie compliance banner

You can add a cookie compliance banner to your Developer Portal site by configuring the EU Cookie Compliance module.

You must have administrator access to the Developer Portal to complete this task.

The EU Cookie Compliance module provides a customizable pop-up notification that informs visitors to your site that cookies are being used. The notification enables your site visitors to find out more about cookies, and to decide not to browse the site if they disagree with using cookies. You can also provide a link from your cookie compliance banner to an internal or external privacy policy. For more information about configuring an internal privacy policy, see Customizing the privacy policy statement.

The EU Cookie Compliance module is enabled by default. The following instructions show you how to configure the notification.

  1. Log in to the Developer Portal as an administrator.
  2. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
  3. Click Configuration > System > EU Cookie Compliance.
    The Settings tab of the EU Cookie Compliance page is displayed.
  4. In the SETTINGS section select Enable banner, otherwise the notification does not display.
  5. In the PRIVACY POLICY section, edit the Privacy policy link field to provide a link to your privacy policy or other page that explains cookies to your site visitors. The default link is /privacy, which links to the Privacy Policy content that is configured within the Developer Portal. For more information, see Customizing the privacy policy statement.
    External links should start with http:// or https://. For example:
    https://example.com/privacy
  6. Configure the remaining options as required. For example, you can change the wording, and edit the display size and color.
  7. Click Save configuration to save your updates.
