FlowConsent

Quick install in 3 minutes

The fastest way to ship a FlowConsent banner — sign up, create a banner, paste one script tag. Three minutes, no configuration.

This is the script-and-go path for users who want a working GDPR banner live in three minutes. We'll skip every optional setting. You can come back later to fine-tune.

1. Sign up

Go to app.flowconsent.com and create an account. The free plan covers 1 banner with self-hosting on your own Cloudflare account — no credit card.

2. Create a banner

From the Banners page, click + New banner. Enter:

  • A name (anything, e.g. acme-website)
  • Your site URL (https://acme.com)

FlowConsent scans the page and pre-fills the Services and Cookie list tabs with whatever third-party scripts it detects. The defaults are GDPR-compliant: equal Accept / Reject buttons, prior blocking, granular categories.

3. Deploy

Open the Deployment tab.

On the Free plan, you'll be asked to connect a Cloudflare account so we can deploy a Worker on your infrastructure. Follow the Cloudflare deployment guide — about 2 minutes the first time.

On Pro / Enterprise, deploy is one click; the banner is hosted at https://YOUR-WORKSPACE.consent.flowconsent.com.

Once deployed, the Deployment tab shows your install snippet:

<!-- FlowConsent CMP -->
<script src="https://YOUR-WORKSPACE.consent.flowconsent.com/cookie-manager.js?code=YOUR_LICENSE_CODE"></script>

4. Paste the snippet

Add the snippet to the <head> of every page on your site, as high as possible — ideally right after <head> and before any other <script>. This is required for prior blocking to work: any tracking script defined below the snippet is held back until consent is given.

For a static HTML site, paste it in your template. For a CMS:

  • WordPress — Theme header.php, or a plugin like Insert Headers and Footers
  • Shopify — Online Store → Themes → Edit code → theme.liquid → inside <head>
  • Webflow — Project Settings → Custom Code → Head Code
  • Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit — your root layout's <head>

5. Verify

Open your site in an incognito window. You should see:

  • The banner on first visit
  • No third-party requests in Network tab before clicking Accept
  • A new entry under Analytics → Sessions in your FlowConsent dashboard within ~1 minute

If the banner doesn't show, check that the snippet is inside <head>, not <body>, and that it's not blocked by a CSP.

Done

That's the minimum viable install. When you have time, come back to:
