Consent policies help site owners manage visitor consent for cookies and related technologies to comply with data protection regulations. The Consent Policy APIs allow you to customize cookie banners, control social media elements, and enforce privacy preferences.
Cookies and related technologies are categorized into various types, which are allowed or blocked by Wix based on the site vistors consent policy. Site owners can customize cookie banner text and appearance, but cannot modify the list of consent types presented to visitors.
For more information about consent, see About GDPR and Data Protection Compliance.
