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 :
New – recently detected, unreviewed.
Active – validated by you, ready to be shown on the notice.
Ignored – (optional) You can place cookies here that you do not want to see listed in your cookie notice.
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.
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.
Keep internal cookies in Ignored to prevent reappearance after future scans.

Manage Cookie Notice
Health > Realtime Cookie Scanner > Cookie Notice Manager > DEPLOY (Tab)
The DEPLOY tab is used to install, create, and publish the cookie notice on your website. It shows all existing notice versions and their status.
Install Cookie Notice
Once the cookie information is set up in the EDIT tab, you can install the cookie notice in three formats :
1. JavaScript Snippet
Paste the JavaScript snippet on your legal page to automatically generate and display the cookie list table.
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 :
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 :
site_id = your Commanders Act site ID
language_code = language code (e.g.
fr,en)
