Your website is the digital face of your brand! And you’ve likely invested a great deal of time, thought, and money into making sure it looks perfect. Every colour, every typeface, every detail has been chosen for a reason. Yet, for many businesses, the first thing a visitor sees isn’t the beautifully crafted homepage… it’s a cookie banner that jars with the rest of the design.
Well, this is now a thing of the past!
We’re proud to introduce the brand-new CookieScan Cookie Banner Designer, an intuitive and powerful tool that finally gives you complete creative control over your cookie banners. You can transform your banner from a compliance necessity into a seamless extension of your brand.
A Modern Banner Experience That Puts Your Brand First
Cookie banners have long been criticised for being intrusive, outdated, and visually disruptive; especially when they clash with a carefully curated website. With this redesign, we wanted to solve that problem once and for all. Our team has rebuilt the CookieScan banner system from the ground up, creating a clean, modern, minimalist design that fits effortlessly into contemporary web aesthetics.
But design was only half the work. The banner framework has also been fully updated to reflect the latest requirements of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA). This includes revised guidance on cookie exemptions and enhanced transparency features, ensuring your website remains fully compliant while maintaining an elegant appearance. You get the best of both worlds: a stylish banner that meets rigorous privacy standards across the UK, EU, US and beyond.
Style Your Banner Exactly How You Want It
Inside the CookieScan portal, you’ll now find a new section dedicated entirely to banner styling, and it’s here that the transformation truly begins. Instead of being restricted to a default look, you can experiment freely with layouts, colours, fonts, corner shapes, outlines, shadows, and button styles. Whether your website is bold and vibrant or subtle and understated, you can build a cookie banner that complements it perfectly.
Perhaps your site has sharp, square edges that give off a professional, corporate feel. Or maybe you’ve opted for soft, rounded corners to create a friendlier, more contemporary look. Either way, your cookie banner can now follow suit. You can adjust its background colour, match your brand palette, and choose from a collection of modern web fonts that bring everything together visually.
As you make changes, a live preview updates instantly, letting you see exactly how your design will appear on your site. And once you’re satisfied, clicking ‘save and publish’ pushes the new design live immediately.
This isn’t just a styling tool, it’s a way to integrate compliance into your brand identity.
Personalise Your Message, Your Tone, and Your Compliance Features
Branding goes far beyond colours and shapes; it extends to the way you communicate. That’s why the CookieScan Banner Designer also allows you to rewrite the banner text to match your tone of voice. Whether you prefer warm and friendly messaging or clear and corporate language, you have complete freedom to tailor what your visitors will read.
You can also add your own privacy notice link, update references to your internal policies, and even integrate Subject Access Request options directly into the banner. This includes the ability to support “Do Not Sell My Info” notices for CCPA-style compliance, giving global visitors clear pathways to exercise their rights.
Your banner doesn’t just look like part of your website, it behaves like it too.
What Existing and New CookieScan Customers Can Expect
If you’re already using CookieScan, the transition will be effortless. Your existing cookie banner will remain unchanged until your 18th December 2025, after which it will automatically upgrade to the new design framework. All your current colours will be carried over, meaning your updated banner will instantly look cleaner and more modern without losing its familiar feel. If you’d like to preview or customise the new design early, you can log into your portal and start experimenting right away.
For new customers, the experience begins the moment you activate your subscription. You’ll immediately have access to the CookieScan Banner Designer, where you can build a banner that aligns perfectly with your website before publishing it live.
Built From Your Feedback, Designed for Your Brand
The inspiration behind this upgrade came from you. Many of our customers shared their frustration with cookie banners that felt intrusive or mismatched, especially on websites they’d invested heavily in. You wanted something cleaner, smarter, and more flexible — and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered.
By combining your feedback with the latest compliance requirements, we’ve created a system that balances legal clarity with brand experience. Cookie compliance should be secure, simple, and unobtrusive. With our new designer, it finally can be.
Trusted Compliance, Beautifully Delivered
CookieScan has always been designed to give businesses and agencies a reliable, transparent, and legally compliant cookie management solution. Now, with the introduction of the Banner Designer, you can achieve that compliance without compromising on aesthetics.
Your website tells a story from the moment someone arrives – and your cookie banner should be part of that story, not a distraction from it.
