Usage

How It Works

The cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page for visitors who haven’t made a cookie consent choice.
Users can Accept or Decline cookies (if the Decline button is enabled).
The user’s choice is stored in a cookie named cookieConsent.

Customizing the Appearance

Use the configuration options to adjust colors, opacity, and text.
The banner message supports markdown, so you can include links, bold text, and more.

Testing the Banner

Previewing the Banner

Clear your browser cookies for the site.
Refresh the page. The cookie banner should appear.
Test both the Accept and Decline buttons.

Debugging

If the banner doesn’t appear: Ensure the extension is enabled. Check if the cookieConsent cookie is already set. Verify there are no JavaScript errors in the browser console.
