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](https://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](/en/doc/cloudflare-deployment) — about 2 minutes the first time.

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

Once deployed, the **Deployment** tab shows your install snippet:

```html
<!-- FlowConsent CMP -->
<script src="https://YOUR-LICENSE-CODE.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
- **Framer** — Site Settings → Custom Code → End of `<head>`
- **Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit** — your root layout's `<head>`. For client-side routing, also enable SPA Mode — see the [Next.js & React SPA guide](/en/doc/nextjs-integration)

## 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:
