Juniper Websites: How do I set up the cookie notification on my website?

Overview

This article explains how you turn on and configure the cookie notification on your Juniper Website. The cookie notification functionality notifies users that the site uses cookies and asks them whether they want to allow cookies.  If a user chooses to allow cookies, they can view third-party content on your website, but if they do not allow the cookies, any third-party content will not be displayed.

Prerequisites

To configure cookie notifications, you must be an administrator.

Instructions

To enable and configure the cookie notification:

  1. Select Cookies and Privacy from the Website tab:

  2. Select Cookie Settings:

    The Cookie Settings window opens:

  3. Select the required Cookie Notification Layout from None (doesn't show a cookie notification), Overlay, Bar or Shape. When you select an option, a preview is displayed with any visual settings associated with your selection, for example, when Overlay is selected the following is displayed:

    If you choose not to show the cookie notification banner (Cookie Notification Layout is set to None), do so with great caution. While consent isn't needed for essential cookies, any content using non-essential cookies, for example, embedded YouTube videos, will display by default. Normally, by default, such content is hidden without consent, but disabling the banner means it will show automatically. Schools disabling the banner must carefully monitor their website content or re-enable the banner and update the cookie list when adding such content.

  4. Change any of the settings as required - select the position where the icon will appear on the screen, its colour and the cookie version.

    By default, the Cookie Version on all new websites is V2. Some older websites may have V1 enabled. The different versions are as follows:

    1. When V1 is selected, users can choose whether to accept or deny all cookies.
    2. When V2 is selected, users are given a greater level of control over which cookies they can accept or deny. They are given the choice to accept or deny Essential, Targeting, Functional and Performance cookies. When enabled, a customer can view the specific details of the cookies when they are presented with the cookies screen.
  5. Select Save. 

Outcome

When a visitor accesses your site they will see the Cookie policy:

If they select Manage Cookies, they can choose which cookies to accept / deny, based on the Cookie Version used. When using V2, the following options are available:
