Bar texts
On the Texts tab you set everything the bar tells visitors: the title and description, the buttons, the texts of the settings window and the cookie policy. You can start from one of two text presets.
Text presets
At the top is the Text presets box with the Preset menu:
| Preset | When to use it |
|---|---|
| EU legislation | The bar's default texts. |
| Google Consent Mode ready | Recommended when you use Google Ads or Analytics. The bar's description explains personalised advertising and links to Google's privacy information. Details are in A banner that meets Google's requirements. |
Choose a preset and click Use this preset. Once you confirm, the preset replaces every text of this website in all languages; you can then keep editing them. The preset the bar currently uses is marked (in use) in the menu.
If the license sends Google Consent Mode signals and does not use the Google preset, the box recommends it.
Applying a preset also overwrites texts you previously edited by hand.
Editing the texts
The texts themselves are hidden behind the Edit texts button. When you click it, the page warns you that the preset texts are written to meet the legal requirements for consent and that once you change them, you are responsible for the bar's compliance with the law. You continue with Yes, edit the texts, or stay with Keep the preset.
The editor contains all the bar's texts:
| Group | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Consent bar | The title, description and the buttons for accepting, rejecting and settings. |
| Settings window | Category titles and descriptions, including both Google switches: Advertising data sharing (Google) and Personalised advertising (Google). |
| Cookie table | The column headers of the cookie table. |
| Blocked iframe | The placeholder text shown instead of an iframe before consent. |
| Cookie policy | The cookie policy text in Markdown. |
An empty field means the built-in wording. You save changes with the Save texts button.
The Google switches are always shown in the bar, because they control the ad_user_data and ad_personalization signals. What to keep when editing if you use Google Consent Mode is described in A banner that meets Google's requirements.
Languages
You switch the language of the texts with the CS EN SK DE HU PL labels below the license tabs. Only the language currently open is saved.
Each website's own texts
A new license gets its own copy of the texts as soon as it is created. Older licenses share texts with other websites until you save them for the first time. The first save creates a copy for this website only.
