Styling a Notice

 

Styles allow you to control the look and feel of your notices. Where notice templates are a template for the consent settings, styles are a template for the visual design. Privacy experiences that match the look and feel of the web experience have been proven to result in higher consent rates. Organizations often create a different style for each brand, division, or while running consent optimization tests.

To start creating a style, click Template & Assets and Styles in the main menu bar. From here you can modify an existing style or create a new one.

Caution: If you edit an existing theme that is being used on active notices, changes will automatically be applied and visible on those notices.

To begin the design process, click one of the display types from the tabs at the top: Link, Button, Banner, Barrier, and Options Dialog. You can design and preview the desktop and mobile experiences from each tab.

Note: While you can design all display types within the style, you will select the display type to use on your notice during consent notice setup. The preview is a generic preview and text specific to a regulation might not match your final consent notice.

 

Link

A hyperlink your website visitors can click to access their privacy options. You can easily customize the typeface, color, or font size. Advanced customization is also available using CSS.
