AdOpt allows you to hide the Cookie Banner and its Controller after the user’s consent preference has been registered.
The Controller is the widget displayed in the corner of the page. It allows visitors to reopen the Cookie Banner to view, review, or change their consent preferences.
Before enabling this feature
📢 Important: When this feature is enabled, the Cookie Banner and its Controller — the widget displayed in the corner of the page — will be hidden after the user’s consent preference is registered.
As a result, visitors will no longer see the Controller in the corner of the page as a direct way to reopen the Cookie Banner, review their previous choice, or change their consent preferences.
For this reason, AdOpt recommends using this setting with caution and validating it internally with your legal team, DPO, privacy officer, or the person responsible for privacy compliance in your organization.
If you choose to enable this feature, we strongly recommend providing an alternative and easily accessible way for visitors to reopen the Cookie Banner whenever they wish. This alternative can be a button or link placed in the website footer, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, privacy settings page, or another area that is clearly accessible to the data subject.
Without an alternative access point, visitors may have difficulty finding the Cookie Banner again and managing their preferences. This may create unnecessary friction and could be interpreted as making it harder for users to review or change their consent choices.
How to hide the Cookie Banner and Controller after consent is registered
Check out our guided tutorial below or follow the steps below:
Log in to you AdOpt account.
Access your (1) Organization.
Select the (2) Disclaimer where you want to enable this feature.
Go to (3) Settings of your Disclaimer.
Toggle the (4) Fully hide the disclaimer and its controller after acceptance option.
Click (5) Save to apply the new configuration.
Once this setting is enabled, the Cookie Banner and the Controller will be hidden after the visitor registers their consent preference.
The Cookie Banner may be displayed again after the consent validity period expires or in situations where a new consent record is required, depending on the settings applied to the Cookie Banner.
How to allow visitors to reopen the Cookie Banner
If you choose to hide the Controller, we strongly recommend adding an alternative button or link to your website so visitors can reopen the Cookie Banner.
This button or link works similarly to the Controller: when clicked, it displays the Cookie Banner again, allowing visitors to view, review, or change their consent preferences.
You can place this access point, for example:
in the website footer;
in the Privacy Policy;
in the Cookie Policy;
on a dedicated privacy settings page;
in another area that is easy for visitors to access.
Button to show the Cookie Banner
Use this option if you want to add a button to your website so visitors can reopen the Cookie Banner.
This button can be placed in the website footer, on a privacy page, or in another location defined by your team.
<button onclick="window.sendAdoptCommand('open')">Show Disclaimer</button>
Link to show the Cookie Banner
Use this option if you prefer to add a text link that allows visitors to reopen the Cookie Banner.
The link can use labels such as:
"Manage cookie preferences"
"Change consent preferences"
"Cookie settings"
"Reopen Cookie Banner"
"Privacy preferences"
<a href="javascript:void" onclick="window.sendAdoptCommand('open')">Button to Show the Disclaimer</a>
Final recommendation
Hiding the Cookie Banner and Controller can be useful in specific user experience strategies, but it should be adopted carefully.
If this feature is enabled, always provide a clear and easily accessible alternative way for visitors to reopen the Cookie Banner and manage their consent preferences.
