Quickstart

Get your first banner live in under 15 minutes.

What you need: A ConsentForge account and access to your website's HTML (or a Shopify/WordPress admin).

Step 1: Create your account​

Go to consentforge.com/register and sign up. Free plan available, no credit card required.

Step 2: Add your domain​

After login, click Add Property and enter your website URL (e.g. https://example.com).

ConsentForge will generate an embed token for this property.

Step 3: Run your first scan​

Click Scan now. The scanner visits your site using a headless browser and detects all third-party scripts, cookies, and trackers.

This usually takes 30–60 seconds. You'll see a list of vendors found.

Step 4: Configure your banner​

Go to the Banner tab and choose a preset (Minimal, Brand Dark, or Neutral). Then:

  • Set your primary color
  • Upload your logo (optional)
  • Review the default texts (edit if needed)

Step 5: Add the script tag​

Copy your embed snippet from the Embed tab:

<script
  src="https://cdn.consentforge.com/consentforge.min.js"
  data-token="YOUR_EMBED_TOKEN"
  data-position="bottom"
  defer
></script>

Add this tag before </head> on your website.

Paste the script tag before &lt;/head&gt; in your HTML template.

Step 6: Test your banner​

Open your website in a private/incognito window. The banner should appear.

  • Click Accept All — confirm consent is stored (check browser DevTools → Application → Cookies)
  • Click Reject All — confirm non-essential scripts are blocked

Step 7: You're done​

Your banner is live and GDPR-compliant. ConsentForge now:

  • Blocks scripts until consent is given
  • Stores tamper-proof receipts for every decision
  • Distributes consent signals to your connected tools
