# Privacy and cookies

> Turn on the cookie consent banner for your public site and choose its layout, position, lifetime and dark mode.

MagicPost can show a cookie consent banner to visitors of your public site. You configure it under **Platform**, **Backend Settings**, **GDPR Settings**. The page is titled **GDPR Settings**: control your GDPR compliance settings.

The banner appears on the public pages only: the landing page, blog, contact page, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It does not appear inside the signed-in dashboard.

## Turn it on

**1. Open the page**

Go to **Platform**, **Backend Settings**, **GDPR Settings**.

**2. Enable the banner**

Switch on **Enable GDPR Cookies**. The banner is off by default.

**3. Choose how it behaves and looks**

Set the options described below.

**4. Save**

Click **Save**. Open your landing page in a private window to see the banner.

## Options

| Option | What it does | Default |
| - | - | - |
| **Enable GDPR Cookies** | Shows the banner on public pages. | Off |

## What visitors see

The first banner is titled **We use cookies**. Visitors can choose **Accept all**, **Reject all** or **Manage preferences**. The preferences window, **Consent Preferences Center**, groups cookies into four categories:

* **Strictly Necessary Cookies**, always on.
* **Functionality Cookies**.
* **Analytics Cookies**.
* **Advertisement Cookies**.

Visitors tick the categories they allow and click **Save preferences**. The banner works in opt-in mode, so the optional categories stay off until the visitor accepts them. The choice is stored in a cookie named `cc_cookie` for the number of days you set. The banner text is translated with the rest of the interface, see [Languages and translations](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/languages.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> The banner uses a script and a stylesheet that are loaded from the jsDelivr CDN (`cdn.jsdelivr.net`). A visitor whose network blocks that host will not see the banner.

> [!WARNING]
>
> The banner records the visitor's choice, but the Google Analytics tag from [Global settings](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/global-settings.md) loads whatever the visitor chose. Check your own legal requirements before relying on the banner alone.

## Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

The two legal pages have their own editor under **Frontend Settings**, **Pages**. See [Website content](https://magic-post.mintlify.site/admin/website-content.md).
