The Cookie notification in the Presspage Manager provides a built in solution to configure and manage your newsroom’s cookie notification. The Cookie settings allows you to control the messaging and policy information directly from the platform without requiring additional development.
The design and layout of the Cookie notifications are predefined to ensure a consistent and compliant presentation across newsrooms. If you have specific design or functional requirements beyond the standard setup, you can contact support@presspage.com to discuss available options.
Note: The cookie notification must be enabled in the advanced account settings. If it is not active, go to Account settings to turn it on.
