Changing the language of the Cookie Consent Banner

Last updated on October 15, 2024

To ensure compliance with privacy regulations, such as GDPR, when operating a website in a language other than English, it is essential to implement a cookie consent banner in that language. Utilizing WebToffee’s GDPR Cookie Consent plugin facilitates the seamless integration of this banner and allows for customization in the language of your choice.

Steps to change the banner language

Step 1. From the Dashboard, navigate to GDPR Cookie Consent and select the Languages tab. English is set as the default language.
