In the examples below, we'll use a website powered by WordPress. If your website uses a different CMS, the steps remain relatively the same:

  • Go to where the generated code of the Cookie Consent has been added. Usually, that's the header or footer part of your website.
  • Adding a button or link with the ID "open_preferences_center" and place it where you need it (ie. footer). This button or link would allow your website visitors to change their cookie preferences.

Instructions:

  1. Go to your website. If you use WordPress, go to Appearance and click on Theme File Editor:

    TermsFeed WordPress: Dashboard - Appearance with Theme File Editor option highlighted

  2. In the Edit Themes section from Theme files on the right side, choose footer.php:

  3. Scroll down up to the </body> tag. In our example here, the Cookie Consent code has already been generated and added:

  4. Add a link or a button that will open the Preferences Center so that website visitors can change their preferences any time.

    For example, to add a simple link with the text "Open Cookie Preference," add this HTML:

    <a href="#" id="open_preferences_center">Open Cookie Preferences</a>

    Note that it's important to add in the "id" parameter with the value "open_preferences_center."

  6. Done! The footer section of your website will now include a link titled "Open Cookie Preferences."
