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.
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.
