# Use custom link/button instead of Cookie Shield
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available for customers on Cookie Business.
{% endhint %}
## Step 1: Choose "using a custom link/button"
In the Widget Builder, select the "using a custom link/button" option, as shown:
Press save and exit.
## Step 2: Create a custom link/button on your webpage
To enable the custom link/button, you must add the `data-openli="show-cookie-settings"` attribute to your chosen HTML element. For example, to use a `button` element, you would add the following:
```markup
```
When the user clicks or taps an element with that attribute, the cookie widget will show the settings page.
{% hint style="info" %}
If the `data-legalmonster="show-cookie-settings"` attribute is not present on at least one element on the page, the cookie widget will revert to showing the shield, and log a warning in the browser console.
{% endhint %}
## Example
Below is an example of how you could use this functionality on your page:
The updated link would look something like this:
```markup
Access your cookie settings
```
