Set up a cookie consent banner
A cookie consent banner tells visitors that your site uses cookies and lets them accept with one tap. Mawg3 has a built-in banner you can switch on in a minute. You choose the message, the button text and where it sits on the screen.
Why stores add a cookie notice
Your store uses cookies and browser storage to run things like the cart and language choice. If you connect tools such as Google Analytics, the Meta Pixel or the TikTok Pixel, those tools set their own cookies too.
Many shoppers expect to be told, and some markets have rules about it. The Mawg3 privacy policy explains that when a merchant turns on analytics or ad tools, the merchant is responsible for any consent and cookie notice that is required.
Turn on the cookie consent banner
- Go to Settings.
- Click Cookies and Data Privacy.

- Edit the Banner Message. It starts with a default line about using cookies to improve the experience.
- Edit the Button Text. The default is Accept.
- Choose a Position: Full Width, Bottom Left or Bottom Right.
- Close the window. Your changes save automatically.
How the banner behaves
The banner appears on a visitor's first visit, in your site's colors. Once they click the button, it stays hidden in that browser. To see it again yourself, open your live site in a private browser window.
The banner is a notice with a single button. It does not block analytics or ad pixels before the visitor clicks, and it has no reject option. If your business needs opt-in consent before any tracking starts, the built-in banner is not enough on its own. Ask a legal adviser what applies to you.
Write a clear cookie consent message
Say plainly what cookies do on your store, for example: We use cookies to keep your cart and understand how our store is used. Keep it to one or two sentences.
The banner shows the same message in every language. If your store runs in Arabic and English, write a short line in each language.
Point visitors to your Privacy Policy, which they can open from your footer. The banner message itself is plain text, so it cannot hold a link.
Check it on your live site
Open your store in a private window on your phone and on a computer. Make sure the banner does not cover your Add to cart or checkout buttons. If it does, try Bottom Left or Bottom Right instead of Full Width.
Questions people ask
Is the cookie banner on by default?
No. It is off until you switch on Cookie Consent Banner in Settings, Cookies and Data Privacy.
Can visitors reject cookies from the banner?
No. The banner has one button that hides it. Visitors can still block or delete cookies in their browser settings.
Why don't I see the banner on my site?
You probably clicked the button already. Open the site in a private window, and check that the banner is switched on.
