Set up and manage consent

Set up Cytrio to obtain user consent

To capture valuable insights while protecting user privacy, you need to collect consent from your website users. We recommend you use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) or work with your Content Management System (CMS) to collect consent and send it to Google.


Step 1 of 2: Set up a consent banner

  1. Sign up at Cytrio, and configure your banner using the getting started wizard.
  2. Make sure your banner complies with the requirements in the Google EU User Consent Policy (EUUCP).
  3. Navigate to Consent > Banner in the left panel menu.
  4. Customize the language, branding, layout, geo-targeting for your consent banner.
