A cookie banner is easy to add. A banner that actually blocks tracking until people agree, respects opt-outs and keeps your analytics and ads working is not. Our developers set it up properly on your site and keep it that way.
Cookie consent management is the process of asking website visitors for permission before setting non-essential cookies and trackers, recording their choice and respecting it on every page. It usually runs through a consent management platform (CMP) that shows the cookie banner and controls which tags can load. Mint Media sets up and configures your CMP, connects it to Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and ad pixels, adds Google Consent Mode v2 and tunes it for the privacy laws that apply to your visitors.
We find every cookie, pixel and script on your site, including the ones added by plugins, apps and old marketing tools, and sort them into categories.
We install and style a consent banner in Termly, the platform we recommend, or in the tool you already use, such as Osano, Cookiebot, CookieYes, OneTrust or Complianz. It is matched to your brand and in English and French if you need it.
Analytics, ad pixels and other trackers stay off until a visitor agrees. We test it, because many banners look right while tags keep firing in the background.
Consent signals are passed to Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads so measurement and remarketing keep working within the rules, including the signals Google requires for EU and UK visitors.
Opt-in where the law requires it, opt-out links and Global Privacy Control support for US state privacy laws, and region-aware banners so each visitor sees the right choice.
New tools and plugins add new cookies. We rescan, update your cookie declaration and keep the setup working as your site and the rules change.
For most websites we set up Termly. It is a Google-certified consent management platform that scans your site for cookies, blocks trackers until visitors agree, keeps consent records and supports Google Consent Mode v2, Law 25, GDPR and US state privacy laws, with banners in English and French. It is also simple for your team to manage once we hand it over.
Already paying for a consent platform, or prefer a different one? We set up and fix the tool you choose, so you do not have to switch.
Termly, Osano, Cookiebot, CookieYes, OneTrust and Complianz are trademarks of their respective owners.
Different visitors, different rules. We configure the technical side for each region. Your lawyer or privacy officer decides your policy, and we make the website match it.
California and a growing list of states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Virginia, give people the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data. We add the opt-out links and honor Global Privacy Control signals.
Visitors from the EU and the UK must opt in before non-essential cookies are set, with a reject option as easy as accept. We set up prior consent and record every choice.
Quebec's privacy law requires tracking and profiling technologies to be off by default, so Quebec visitors must opt in. We configure a bilingual banner that respects it.
Google requires Consent Mode v2 signals for ads personalization and remarketing with EU and UK traffic. We implement it so your campaigns keep their data.
The banner shows, but Google Analytics, Meta and other pixels load anyway. This is the most common issue we see.
Reject is hidden or takes three clicks, while accept is one big button. Many rules expect both choices to be equally easy.
Google Ads and GA4 data drops because consent signals are not being sent, or are sent incorrectly.
A heavy script delays your page or shifts the layout, hurting user experience and Core Web Vitals.
Quebec and other French-speaking visitors see an English-only banner. We set it up in both languages.
The cookie declaration was generated once and never updated, so it no longer matches what the site actually sets.
If your website uses Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta pixels or marketing tools, you need consent handled correctly. We work with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States and Canada.
Shopify and WooCommerce stores that rely on pixels and remarketing to sell.
Companies spending on Google and Meta ads that cannot afford to lose conversion data.
Organizations that need Law 25 opt-in and a bilingual banner.
Service businesses that collect forms and inquiries and want to respect visitor privacy.
Tell us about your site, your tools and where your visitors are. We send a clear, fixed-scope quote.
We scan every cookie and tag, and agree on the CMP, categories and regional rules with you.
We install the banner, connect your tags and Consent Mode v2, and test that nothing loads before consent.
Regular rescans and updates keep the banner, cookie list and settings in line as your site changes.

If your website uses non-essential cookies, such as analytics, advertising pixels or chat tools, and you have visitors from the EU, the UK or Quebec, you generally need their consent first. In much of the US the rules work on an opt-out basis instead, but several state laws still require clear notices and opt-out options. Your lawyer can confirm what applies to your business.
There is no single federal cookie law. Instead, California's CCPA and a growing number of state privacy laws give people the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data, which covers many advertising cookies. That usually means a clear notice, an opt-out link and honoring Global Privacy Control signals rather than an EU-style opt-in banner.
Google Consent Mode v2 is a way for your website to tell Google tags whether a visitor agreed to analytics and advertising cookies. Tags then adjust their behavior. Google requires it for ads personalization and remarketing with visitors from the EU and the UK, and it helps keep your reporting useful when some visitors decline.
Google Analytics sets cookies that are not strictly necessary, so where opt-in laws apply, such as the EU, the UK and Quebec, it should not run until the visitor agrees. With Consent Mode v2, GA4 can still send cookieless signals that help model the data you would otherwise lose.
A consent management platform is the software that shows your cookie banner, stores each visitor's choice and tells your tags whether they can run. Popular CMPs include Termly, Osano, Cookiebot, CookieYes, OneTrust and Complianz, and we usually recommend Termly. The tool matters less than how it is set up, which is where most sites go wrong.
Since September 2023, Quebec's Law 25 requires technologies that identify, locate or profile people to be turned off by default. In practice that means visitors in Quebec should opt in before tracking cookies run, and your privacy policy should explain what you collect. We set up the website side in English and French.
We recommend Termly for most websites. It is a Google-certified CMP, it supports Consent Mode v2, Law 25, GDPR and US state privacy laws, and it is easy for your team to manage after setup. If you already use or prefer another tool, such as Osano, Cookiebot, CookieYes, OneTrust or Complianz, we set that one up properly or fix it instead. You never have to switch tools to work with us.
Yes. We set up consent on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Shopify Plus, Webflow and custom sites, along with Google Tag Manager, GA4, Google Ads, Meta and other marketing tools.
Some visitors will decline, so you will see fewer tracked sessions where opt-in applies. Setting up Consent Mode v2 correctly and using region-aware rules keeps the impact as small as possible, and you keep data you can trust.
No. Mint Media is a web development company, not a law firm. We set up and test the technical side of consent. Your lawyer or privacy officer should decide your privacy policy and which laws apply to your business.
No. Your privacy policy should come from your lawyer or a trusted privacy service. We make sure your website matches it: the banner, the cookie list and the opt-out links all reflect what your policy says.
Most cookie consent setups take a few business days, including the scan, configuration and testing. Sites with many tools or several regions can take a little longer.
Yes. Cookie rescans and consent updates can be added to any of our website maintenance plans, so new tools and plugins never slip past your banner.
