Add a GDPR, ePrivacy and CCPA compliant cookie consent banner to your Carrd one-page site. CookieChimp installs as a single Embed widget in the page head.
Custom code is available on Carrd Pro Standard, Plus and Pro plans. The free Carrd plan does not allow embedded scripts.
1

Copy your CookieChimp snippet

Log in to your CookieChimp dashboard and copy your website's JS snippet:
<script src="https://cookiechimp.com/widget/abc123.js"></script>
Replace abc123 with your website's unique CookieChimp ID.

Add the snippet via a Carrd Embed widget

  1. Open your site in the Carrd editor.
  2. Click the + (Add) button and choose Embed.
  3. In the Embed settings, set Type to Code and Style to Head. Setting it to Head places the script in <head> so it loads before the rest of the page.
  4. Paste the CookieChimp snippet into the Code field.
  5. Click Done, then publish your Carrd site from the top toolbar.
The CookieChimp script needs to be the first script in the <head> section so it can block other scripts before they run and set cookies without consent. If other scripts are added before, they may set cookies and other storage items before consent is granted.

Block scripts & cookies

To stay compliant with GDPR and other privacy regulations, you need to actively block non-essential scripts and cookies until the user gives consent. See our Scripts Management Section for full details.
Carrd’s built-in Analytics field (Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom etc. under Site Settings → Analytics) injects pixels server-side. To enforce consent, disable Carrd’s built-in analytics and re-add them as Embed widgets with type="text/plain" and data-category="analytics" so CookieChimp can manage them.

Allow users to update their preferences

CookieChimp provides a floating privacy icon (Privacy Trigger) that lets users manage cookie preferences at any time. Enable it in the banner settings.To open the preferences modal from a custom button or link, add the data attribute data-cc="show-preferencesModal":
<button type="button" data-cc="show-preferencesModal">
  Manage cookie preferences
</button>
On Carrd, the simplest pattern is to enable CookieChimp’s built-in floating Privacy Trigger. If you want a “Cookie settings” link in your footer, add a Text element with an inline link and the data-cc="show-preferencesModal" attribute via an Embed.

Troubleshooting

  • “Embed → Code” option is not available — you’re on the free Carrd plan. Upgrade to Carrd Pro to unlock custom code.
  • Banner doesn’t appear on the published site — make sure your Carrd domain (both the *.carrd.co URL and any custom domain) is allowed in Account Settings → Additional Domains in your CookieChimp dashboard.
  • Banner shows in preview but not after publish — Carrd caches published sites aggressively. Hard refresh (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R) and check on a fresh incognito window.
  • Enable Debug mode from the CookieChimp dashboard and check the browser JS console for errors.

Yes. Embedding third-party scripts requires a Carrd Pro plan (Standard, Plus, or Pro). The free plan does not allow custom code.
Yes. Form submissions are user-initiated actions and the data they collect is covered by your form’s own privacy notice, not the cookie banner. CookieChimp only governs storage and tracking scripts.
No. The CookieChimp script is under 30KB gzipped, loads asynchronously and is served from a global CDN. It doesn't block rendering and won't meaningfully affect your Lighthouse scores.
CookieChimp has a free tier suitable for low-traffic sites, with paid plans for higher traffic and additional features. See pricing.
