Cookie banner
Help users manage their personal data by telling them when you store cookies on their device.
By default the cookie banner is shown to all users with just a link to the settings page. If JS is on this is enhanced to show accept/reject buttons if preferences aren’t set, or to hide the banner if they are.
Setting data-hide-cookie-banner="true" on any link inside the banner will overwrite the default action and when clicked will dismiss the cookie banner for a period of 365 days (approx. 1 year).
If the examples below are not showing the banner, make sure the cookies_preferences_set cookie is not present or is set to false.
