# Cookie Notice Manager

### Introduction

The **Cookie Notice Manager** lets you review, edit, and publish your cookies list on your website.

### Manage Cookie Information

Cookies are organized into three lists :

1. **New** – recently detected, **unreviewed**.
2. **Active** – validated by you, ready to be shown on the notice.
3. **Ignored** – (optional) You can place cookies here that you do not want to see listed in your cookie notice.

{% hint style="success" %}
The cookie manager interface reflects the current status of your site in real time. When you refresh the page, the “New” section may contain cookies that have just been detected a few seconds ago.
{% endhint %}

Each entry can be edited (✎) to adjust vendor, category, storage type, domain, duration, and description.\
You can also add custom cookies or activate/deactivate existing ones.

**2. HTML Table (recommended)**

The HTML table is the recommended installation method for a dynamic cookie notice.\
Create a placeholder `<div>` in your CMS and use the tag template “TRUST | Install Cookie Notice” in your Web Container.\
Both must share the same ID (e.g. `ca-slot--cookie-notice`).

**Endpoint of the HTML file :**

```
https://cdn.tagcommander.com/cookie-scanner/<site_id>/v1/cookies-<language_code>.html
```

* **site\_id** = your Commanders Act site ID (e.g. 1234)
* **language\_code** = language of the cookie notice (default = `en`)

> ℹ️ The HTML table uses accessible semantic markup and inherits your site’s CSS.\
> You can fully customize its style with your own stylesheet.

**3. JSON API**

For advanced or custom use cases, the JSON API returns the cookie information in a structured format that can be used in web apps or native apps.

**Endpoint of the JSON file :**

```
https://cdn.tagcommander.com/cookie-scanner/<site_id>/v1/cookies-<language_code>.json
```

* **site\_id** = your Commanders Act site ID
* **language\_code** = language code (e.g. `fr`, `en`)

{% hint style="info" %}
By default all cookies are listed but it is also possible to manage one cookie notice per website
{% endhint %}
