Cookie Consent Integration Guide

Overview

Redacto’s Cookie Consent solution allows you to quickly add a compliant cookie banner and preference center to your website. Once you configure your domain inside the Redacto CMP, the platform generates a script tag unique to your domain, organization, and workspace.

Adding this script to your site automatically:

Displays a cookie banner
Manages user consent preferences
Blocks non-essential cookies until consent
Logs consent data into Redacto
Ensures global compliance (GDPR, DPDP, CCPA, etc.)

1. Setting Up Cookie Consent in Redacto

Step 1 - Add Your Domain

Navigate to:

Console → Consent Management → Cookie Consent → Domains

Click Add Domain and enter:

Domain URL (e.g. https://yourwebsite.com)
Display Name
Workspace
Optional geolocation rules

Step 2 - Configure Your Banner

You can customize:

Banner style (bar, modal, drawer)
Colors and theme
Button labels
Categories (Essential, Analytics, Marketing, Functional, Custom)

Step 3 - Copy the Script

After saving, Redacto generates a script like:

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://redacto.ai&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>

This is the only script you need to add to your site.

2. Understanding the Script Tag

Full Example

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`domain`	The domain where the script will run. Used for validation.
`organisation_uuid`	Identifies your organization for consent logging.
`workspace_uuid`	Links consent settings to the correct workspace.

The script automatically:

Loads and displays the cookie banner
Handles Accept/Reject/Customize actions
Blocks analytics/marketing cookies until allowed
Stores preferences locally
Syncs consent logs to Redacto

3. Website Integration (HTML)

Add the script before the closing </body> tag:

<body>
  ...
  <script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>
</body>

The banner will begin working immediately.

4. WordPress Integration

Method 1 - Using “Insert Headers and Footers” Plugin (Recommended)

Install the plugin Plugins → Add New → Search: “Insert Headers and Footers”
Open Settings → Insert Headers and Footers
Paste the script under Scripts in Header or Scripts in Footer:

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>

Save.

Method 2 - Add Script to Theme Header

Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor
Open header.php
Add before </head>:

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>

5. Next.js Integration

Next.js App Router (`app/layout.tsx`)

import Script from "next/script";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <Script
          src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"
          strategy="beforeInteractive"
        />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Next.js Pages Router (`_app.js`)

<Script
  src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"
  strategy="afterInteractive"
/>

6. React / SPA Integration

Add to `public/index.html`

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>

Or Load Dynamically in React

useEffect(() => {
  const script = document.createElement("script");
  script.src = "https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://yourdomain.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID";
  document.body.appendChild(script);
}, []);

8. Validating the Integration

After adding the script, verify:

Banner shows on first page load
Accept/Reject/Customize buttons work
Consent logs appear in Redacto dashboard
Analytics/Marketing cookies blocked until consent
"Manage Preferences" opens correctly

9. Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Fix
Banner not showing	Domain mismatch	Ensure `domain=` matches your site exactly
Consent not saving	Browser blocking cookies	Test in non-incognito
Script failing	Incorrect UUIDs	Regenerate script from console
WordPress not updating	Cache plugin	Clear WP + CDN cache

10. Example Final Script

<script src="https://cdn.redacto.io/dist/redacto.min.js?domain=https://mywebsite.com&organisation_uuid=ORG_UUID&workspace_uuid=WORKSPACE_UUID"></script>
