Configuration & controls
Set banner copy, categories, regional or page rules, default behavior, display frequency, and links to detailed information.
Workflow & architecture
The banner is the first-choice surface; cookie scanning, categorisation, and later preference changes are separate capabilities.
The banner presents the initial visitor choice. Scanning discovers technologies, categorisation maps them to purposes, and the cookie preference centre supports later changes.
Integrations
It can expose a visitor preference to configured site tags or cookie controls. Actual tags and cookies must be mapped in the implementation.
