Many global data privacy laws require businesses to obtain user consent for data collection, with cookie banners<\/a> serving as the primary tool for securing consent for cookies and other tracking technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, cookie banners, also known as cookie consent banners, cookie notices, or cookie popups, don\u2019t have to just be about meeting legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designed thoughtfully \u2014 meaning they clearly inform users about cookie use, offer meaningful choices, and are easy to navigate \u2014 they are a key part of Privacy-Led Marketing<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of treating data collection as a transaction, Privacy-Led Marketing prioritizes users by providing transparency and respecting user preferences. This dynamic helps you foster trust and build stronger, more authentic relationships with your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll walk through the steps to set up a cookie banner on your HubSpot website and explore how it can support both regulatory compliance and your customer-first, privacy-led approach to marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sign up for your Cookiebot by Usercentrics account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2. Customize your banner in Usercentrics Cookiebot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you are logged in, add the domain for which you want to collect cookie consent<\/a>. Then, choose a template for the relevant data protection regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Usercentrics Cookiebot CMP scanner will automatically scan your website to see which cookies and other trackers are in use and then generate a scan report. You\u2019ll find the report under the Cookies & Reports<\/strong> tab when it\u2019s complete. If there are any unclassified cookies, add a classification<\/a> and purpose description so that users’ consent preferences can be appropriately applied to these cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to customize your HubSpot consent banner, which will be configured with the necessary settings based on the regulation template you selected. From your account you can customize the color scheme, layout, logo, button style, banner type, content, language, and consent expiration period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The banner text is available in 48 languages<\/a>. You can select multiple languages and enable automatic language detection to display the cookie consent banner to visitors based on their saved preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also configure the Privacy Trigger, which is a shortcut that enables users who have already communicated their consent preferences to update their consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
