Cookie Consent Banner Generator
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, websites that use non-essential cookies must obtain informed consent from visitors before setting those cookies. This means analytics tools like Google Analytics, advertising pixels, and social media embeds cannot load until the user explicitly agrees. LegalForge Pro generates a fully customizable, GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner that blocks scripts until consent is given.
Generate for Free — No Signup RequiredWhy You Need a Cookie Consent Banner
If your website uses any cookies beyond those strictly necessary for the site to function (session cookies, authentication cookies), you need a cookie consent banner. This includes Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, Hotjar, Intercom, YouTube embeds, and many other common tools. Under GDPR Article 7 and the ePrivacy Directive, consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — which means pre-ticked checkboxes and implied consent (like 'by continuing to browse, you accept cookies') are not valid.
How LegalForge Cookie Banners Work
LegalForge Pro generates a self-contained JavaScript snippet you add to your website. The banner categorizes cookies into groups (Essential, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences) and lets visitors choose which categories to accept. Scripts tagged with our data attribute are automatically blocked until the visitor grants consent for that category. When they accept, the scripts are unblocked and load normally. Consent choices are remembered so returning visitors are not asked again.
Customization Options
You can customize the banner's position (bottom bar, top bar, or center popup), colors to match your brand, button text, banner title and description, and which cookie categories to display. The banner is responsive and works on all screen sizes. All customization is done through your LegalForge dashboard — no coding required. The generated snippet is a single script tag you add to your site's HTML head.
Consent Analytics
LegalForge Pro tracks consent decisions so you can see what percentage of visitors accept, reject, or customize their cookie preferences. This data helps you understand your consent rate and make informed decisions about your cookie strategy. All consent logs are stored securely and can be used to demonstrate compliance if questioned by regulators.

Is a cookie consent banner required by law?
In the EU and EEA, yes — the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive require informed consent before setting non-essential cookies. Many other jurisdictions including the UK, Brazil, and several US states also have cookie consent requirements. Even if not strictly required in your jurisdiction, a cookie consent banner is a best practice that builds user trust.
Can I use the cookie banner on any website platform?
Yes. The LegalForge cookie consent banner is a standalone JavaScript snippet that works on any website — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, custom HTML, React, Next.js, and more. Just add the script tag to your site's HTML head section.
Does the banner block scripts before consent?
Yes. Scripts tagged with our data attribute (data-lf-blocked) and changed from type='text/javascript' to type='text/plain' will be blocked until the visitor consents to the relevant cookie category. When consent is given, scripts are automatically unblocked and execute normally.
Is the cookie banner included in the free plan?
No. The cookie consent banner is a Pro feature ($9.99/month). The free plan includes a basic privacy policy generator. Upgrade to Pro to access cookie consent banners, Terms of Service generation, AI scanning, and more.
