Configure the Spectry consent banner

Customise the appearance, text and behaviour of Spectry's built-in consent banner.

If you use the Spectry consent provider, you get a fully customisable banner. Configure it in Settings → Privacy & Consent.

Consent banner configuration

Appearance

  • Position — bottom bar, modal (centre), or corner (bottom-right).
  • Theme — light, dark, or custom.
  • Brand colour — set the primary accent colour.
  • CSS override — add custom CSS for full control of styling.

Text & labels

  • Heading and body text.
  • Accept, Decline, Manage preferences and Save preferences button labels.
  • Links to your cookie policy and privacy policy.

Categories

The banner presents consent categories visitors can toggle. Defaults include:

  • Essential — always on.
  • Analytics — page views, custom events, web vitals.
  • Heatmaps — click, move and scroll interaction tracking.
  • Replay — session recording.
  • Feedback & surveys — feedback widgets, surveys and optin forms.

You can add or rename categories to match your privacy policy.

Reopening the banner

Add a "Cookie preferences" link in your footer that calls:

Spectry.openConsentBanner();
Consent is re-collected automatically after expiry (about a year) and when the banner configuration changes, per GDPR best practice.

Put this to work on your own site.
