Use custom link/button instead of Cookie Shield
If you find that our shield blocks important elements of your website, you can use a custom link/button instead of the Cookie Shield to enable access to the cookie settings.
This feature is only available for customers on Cookie Business.
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: 1
<button data-openli="show-cookie-settings">Access your cookie settings</button>
Copied!
When the user clicks or taps an element with that attribute, the cookie widget will show the settings page.
If the
data-openli="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.Example
Below is an example of how you could use this functionality on your page:
The updated link would look something like this:
1
<a data-openli="show-cookie-settings">Access your cookie settings</a>
Copied!
