Cookiebot

What is Cookiebot?

Cookiebot (by Usercentrics) is a consent management platform that makes your storefront compliant with GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA and similar privacy laws. It scans your site, lists every cookie and tracking script in use, and shows visitors a consent banner where they can accept or reject specific categories (statistics, marketing, preferences).

Once a visitor makes a choice, Cookiebot blocks or allows cookies accordingly and keeps an audit log of consent — which is what regulators expect you to produce if you're ever audited. It's popular with stores selling in the EU/EEA, UK and California where consent rules are strict.

How Nevuto handles Cookiebot

  • Nevuto injects the official Cookiebot consent banner script into every page of your storefront as soon as you save the integration.
  • Cookiebot runs entirely client-side: once loaded, it scans the page, shows the banner, and blocks categories the visitor hasn't accepted.
  • Nevuto doesn't modify or wrap the Cookiebot script — all consent logic, banner styling and audit logging happen inside Cookiebot's own SDK.
  • You can disable the integration at any time from the admin panel; the script is removed on your next page load and the banner stops appearing.

Add Cookiebot to your Nevuto store

  1. Log in to your Nevuto admin panel.
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations.
  3. Click the Add button next to Cookiebot.
  4. Paste your Domain Group ID into the input field.
  5. Toggle the status to Active and click Save.

Done — the Cookiebot banner starts appearing on your storefront immediately.

Where to find your Domain Group ID

  1. Sign in to manage.cookiebot.com.
  2. If you haven't created a site yet, click Add new domain group and fill in your storefront URL.
  3. Open the Your scripts tab (sometimes labeled Banner → Your scripts).
  4. Look at the generated <script> snippet — near the top you'll see a data-cbid="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" attribute.
  5. Copy the value of data-cbid (not the whole script) and paste it into Nevuto's Domain Group ID field.

Test that it's working

  • Open your storefront in an incognito window (so you don't hit any existing consent cookie).
  • The Cookiebot banner should appear within a second or two at the bottom or top of the page, depending on the style you chose in your Cookiebot dashboard.
  • In your Cookiebot dashboard, open Reports → Cookie report — the domain should now be listed and Cookiebot should have picked up the cookies it found during its first scan.
  • Accept consent on the banner once, then reload the page. The banner should no longer appear. Clear your browser cookies to test the flow again.

Troubleshooting

  • No banner appears: confirm the Domain Group ID is correct (a UUID-like string, usually 36 characters including dashes). Also check that the integration status toggle is set to Active in Nevuto.
  • Banner shows but looks wrong: the banner's colours, position and wording are all configured inside the Cookiebot dashboard, not in Nevuto. Open Banner → Content / Style in Cookiebot and tweak from there.
  • Scripts loading before consent: Cookiebot's auto-blocking only works on scripts it recognizes. For aggressive blocking, add data-cookieconsent="statistics" or similar attributes in your theme's custom code. Reach out to Cookiebot support for advanced setups.
  • Ad blockers: some consent-banner blocker extensions will hide Cookiebot. Test in a clean incognito window with no extensions before assuming something's broken.
