License configuration
On the Configuration tab you set the domain, the operator details, the implementation type and the bar's behaviour. You save changes with the Save configuration button.
Next to the save button is Refresh widget cache. It forces the website to load the new configuration immediately. Without it, the changes take effect on their own within a few minutes.
Domain configuration
Main domain
The domain the license is valid for. It does not cover subdomains, so sub.example.com needs its own license. The www prefix counts as the same domain and localhost is always allowed.
Test mode
Allows the license to be used on any domain, for example on a staging environment or during local development.
Test mode turns off automatically every day at 4:00 (Prague time), so the license is not left open by mistake. If you need it for longer, you have to turn it on again.
Company details
The operator's name, contact email, company ID (IČO), registered address and, optionally, your own cookie policy page. If you leave a field empty, the value from your account is used; that value is shown in the field as a hint. The Load from ARES button below the company ID fills in the operator's name and registered address from the Czech business register; they are saved only with the Save configuration button.
These details are shown in the cookie policy, which must state who collects the consents.
Implementation type
Either Cookies správně or Google Tag Manager. The choice must match how you actually install the bar on the website, because it tells the bar who sets the Google Consent Mode default:
| Option | When to choose it | What the bar does |
|---|---|---|
| Cookies správně | You insert the script directly into the website code. | Sets the Consent Mode default as soon as it loads and sends an update after the visitor's choice. |
| Google Tag Manager | You install the bar with our GTM template. | Does not set the default; the template does that. Sends an update after the visitor's choice. |
Below the field, depending on the choice, the relevant hint appears with a link to the installation guide.
Send Google Consent Mode signals
A switch below the implementation type. It is on for every new license. The bar then sets the Google Consent Mode default as soon as the page loads, with all four consent types ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization denied, and sends an update after the visitor's choice.
Turn it off only if you want to control Google tags yourself and block them until consent is given instead of using Consent Mode. The bar then sends no Consent Mode commands, but it still blocks scripts from the Scripts tab and scripts marked type="text/plain". The procedure is in Turning Consent Mode off, and all the signals are described in detail in Settings and signals.
Content & Interaction
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Allow YouTube iframes | YouTube plays even without consent. |
| Allow any iframes | Any iframe runs without consent. Takes precedence over the previous option. |
| Interaction blocking | A non-clickable layer covers the website until the visitor deals with the bar. |
The bar never blocks captcha frames (reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile) and nothing needs to be set for them; otherwise the website's forms that use them would stop working. Any other iframe can be excluded from blocking with the data-cookies-ignore attribute directly in the website's HTML.
Interaction blocking may be prohibited in some countries, because it pushes the visitor towards consenting. Before you turn it on, check whether it is permitted where your audience is.
Allowing all iframes globally, on the other hand, means a risk that third-party cookies are stored before consent. Turn it on only if you know what is embedded on the website.
Advanced functionality
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Use RFC standard cookie | Not needed with modern servers; helps older systems. |
| Disconnect subdomain consents | Consent from blog.example.com is not linked with example.com and the bar appears again. |
