Enabling the Cookie Popup in WebToffee’s GDPR Cookie Consent plugin allows you to present a clear, opt-in consent notice that gives users full control over their cookie preferences. By selecting the Popup layout under the GDPR customization settings, you can display a prominent consent window that supports both full acceptance and category-wise preferences — ensuring transparency, user choice, and regulatory compliance.
Cookie Notice Template Types
Before configuring, it helps to know that the plugin offers four cookie notice template types:
- Classic Type — A traditional full-width bar at the top or bottom of the page.
- Banner Type — A wide banner-style notice, ideal for bottom-of-screen display.
- Box Type — A compact box displayed in a corner of the screen.
- Popup Type — A centered overlay popup that draws clear user attention.
Steps to Enable Cookie Popup on Your Website
Step 1: Navigate to Cookie Consent from the Dashboard
From your WordPress admin dashboard, locate and click on Cookie Consent in the left-hand sidebar. This opens the plugin’s main settings panel.
Step 2: Ensure the Customize Option is Set to GDPR
Once inside the Cookie Consent plugin, you will land on the Cookie Banner tab. Look for the Customize dropdown near the top of the settings panel and confirm it is set to GDPR. This ensures all configuration options align with GDPR compliance requirements.
Step 3: Go to Cookie Banner > Layout and Select Popup Type
Click on Layout in the left sub-menu under Cookie Banner settings. Under the 1. Cookie Notice section, you will see the available template types: Box Type, Banner Type, and Popup Type. Click on Popup Type to select it.
Once Popup Type is selected, a position option (such as Center) will appear, letting you choose exactly where the popup appears on screen.
Step 4: Click Update Settings and Reload Your Site
After selecting Popup Type, click the Update settings button in the top-right corner of the settings panel. Once saved, reload your website in a new tab to see the cookie consent popup displayed live.
