We’re thrilled to announce new updates to CookieScript! These features are designed to improve teamwork and enhance website performance, making cookie consent management smoother than ever.
1. Share Cookie Banners with Multiple Users
Managing cookie consent is now easier for teams and agencies! You can share a single banner with multiple users, allowing them to collaborate on updates and compliance settings. This is perfect for organizations with multiple stakeholders or agencies managing several clients.
You can find this feature in your banner > Share tab.
2. Optimize INP Metrics for Faster Interactions
Long Interaction to Next Paint (INP) times can slow down your website and hurt your SEO. Our new
Improve INP Metrics
option allows your cookie banner to close instantly by deferring non-critical JavaScript. This ensures faster responses and smoother user experiences. This feature is experimental, so it is not enabled for all banners for now.
To enable, go to Banner Settings > Banner Behaviour and toggle Improve INP Metrics.

3. Automatic Cookie Translation for New Languages:
Adding new languages is now easier, as CookieScript will automatically translate cookies into the newly selected languages.
4. Last Scan Date in Exported CSV:
The exported CSV file now includes the last scan date, providing users with more transparency and historical tracking of scans.
5. Scan Initiator in Scans List:
Users can now see whether a scan was initiated manually or automatically, adding clarity to the scan list.
6. New IAB Option for Non-Personalized Ads:
Users now have the option to serve non-personalized ads after a "decline all" action, while maintaining legitimate interest checkboxes. This feature is ideal for setups requiring compliance with nuanced consent preferences.
7. Disable Scroll Option for Overlay Banner:
A new option allows users to disable page scrolling when the consent banner is shown as an overlay, enhancing focus on consent choices.
8. Accessibility Improvements for Banner:
Enhanced accessibility features on the consent banner provide an improved experience for users with disabilities.

We’re excited to bring you the latest enhancements to CookieScript! These new features are designed to give you even more control and flexibility in managing cookie consent on your website. Here’s what’s new:
1. Support for Scanning Password-Protected Websites
You can now scan websites that are protected by basic HTTP authentication. This ensures that all areas of your site, even those behind a login, are thoroughly scanned for cookies and trackers.
You’ll find this under Scans > Website is under password.
2. Enhanced Centered Banner Design
We’ve refreshed the design of our centered consent banner for a sleeker, more modern look. If you’re using custom CSS, no worries—CookieScript will automatically enable the older banner version to ensure your customized design remains intact.
Available in Settings > Design tab.
3. Responsive Banner Previews
Now you can easily preview how your cookie consent banner will look on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, helping you ensure a consistent user experience across all platforms.
Check it out in Settings > Above the preview window.
4. Add Up to 3 Custom Extra Links to the Banner
We’ve added a new option that allows you to include up to 3 custom extra links directly in your banner. This gives you the flexibility to link to additional resources, policies, or any relevant pages of your choice.
You can find this under Settings > Banner elements > Show Extra Links in the banner.
We’re excited to introduce a refreshed dashboard design, complete with a new Preview Pane! Now, you can see a fully interactive banner in real-time as you make changes—no need to switch views.

Located under the Google Consent Mode option, this validator allows you to check if Google Consent Mode is installed correctly with just one click. If the validation fails, you will see steps on how to fix it.
2. Trial of the Plus Plan
We understand that some users need to see the full potential of the system before committing to a yearly subscription. To accommodate this, we have introduced a trial of the Plus plan. The trial can be activated when creating a new account or through the dashboard of any Free user.
