Weebly Platform

Weebly offers a built-in Embed Code element and per-page header code settings. For CookieScan, the best approach is to add it to the site-wide Header Code via the Settings area.

Before you start

You will need:

An active CookieScan subscription (view plans)
Your banner installation code from the CookieScan dashboard (Cookie Banner → Install Code)
A Weebly Pro plan or higher (Header Code requires paid plan)
Site admin access

The install code looks like this:

<script src="https://banner.cookiescan.com/js?id=YOUR-COOKIESCAN-ID"></script>

Replace YOUR-COOKIESCAN-ID with the code from your dashboard.

Method 1: Site-wide Header Code (recommended)

Step 1 – Open Site Settings

Log into your Weebly account
Select the site you want to edit
Click the Settings tab at the top
In the left sidebar, click SEO

Step 2 – Add script to Header Code

Scroll down to Header Code

Paste your CookieScan script:

<script src="https://banner.cookiescan.com/js?id=YOUR-COOKIESCAN-ID"></script>

Click Save at the top right

Step 3 – Publish your site

Click Publish (top right of the editor)
Wait for the publish to complete

Step 4 – Verify

Visit your site in a new incognito window
The CookieScan banner should appear

Method 2: Per-page Header Code

If you only want CookieScan on specific pages (not recommended for compliance):

Open the page in the Weebly editor
Click Pages in the top menu
Select the page you want, then click SEO Settings
In Header Code, paste your CookieScan script
Save and publish

For compliance purposes, cookie banners should appear on every page. Always use the site-wide Header Code (Method 1) unless you have a specific reason to limit it.

Method 3: Install via Google Tag Manager

If you have GTM already installed on your Weebly site:

In CookieScan, open Cookie Banner → Install Code and switch to the Google Tag Manager Install tab
Copy your CookieScan ID
In GTM, go to Templates → Search Gallery and add the CookieScan template
Create a tag using the template, paste your ID
Trigger: Consent Initialization – All Pages
Submit and publish GTM

Disable Weebly's built-in cookie notice (if enabled)

Weebly has a basic cookie notice feature. Disable it so CookieScan handles consent:

Go to Settings → General
Find the Cookie Notice option (if shown)
Turn it off or leave it disabled

Verify the installation

Visit your site in a new incognito window
The CookieScan banner should appear within a second
Open DevTools (F12) → Network tab → filter by cookiescan
Confirm banner.cookiescan.com loads

What happens next

CookieScan scans your Weebly site and detects all cookies (Weebly's built-in analytics, any integrations)
Discovered cookies appear in Cookie Manager → Unclassified – categorise them
The banner blocks non-essential cookies until the user consents
Every decision is logged in Consent Log

Troubleshooting

Banner not appearing

Verify you're on a Weebly paid plan (Pro or higher) – Header Code requires this
Check you saved AND published – Weebly requires both
Clear your browser cache
View page source and search for cookiescan to confirm the script is in the <head>

Script appears but some pages don't show the banner

Make sure you're using the site-wide Header Code, not a per-page one
Re-publish the site to refresh all pages

Weebly's own cookies still loading

Weebly sets some essential session/session-state cookies which should be categorised as Necessary
Any analytics/marketing cookies can be categorised appropriately so the banner blocks them
Run Cookie Manager → Rescan Domain to refresh the list
