Cookies Management

The Cookie management page lets you view, organize, and manage all cookies detected on your store. Cookies are grouped by category and displayed in the consent preference popup for your visitors.

Cookie Categories

Open Avada Cookie Consent and go to Cookies management. In the Cookie categories card, cookies are organized into four categories:

Category	Description
Strictly required	Essential cookies needed for the website to function. These cannot be disabled by visitors.
Analytics	Cookies used to collect data about how visitors use your website (e.g., Google Analytics).
Marketing	Cookies used for advertising and retargeting purposes (e.g., Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel).
Functional	Cookies that enable enhanced functionality and personalization (e.g., chat widgets, language preferences).

Export Cookies

Click the Export button to download your complete cookie list as a CSV file. This is useful for compliance documentation and audits.

Add a Cookie

To manually add a cookie to your list:

1. Click Add cookie next to the category the cookie belongs to (Analytics, Marketing, or Functional).

2. Fill in the following fields:

Field	Description
Cookie Name	The cookie name (e.g., _ga)
Cookie Description	A brief explanation of what the cookie does
Cookie Duration	How long the cookie persists (e.g., 2 years, session)
Cookie Provider	The service or company that sets the cookie (e.g., Google)

3. Click Add new.

Note: Strictly required cookies are managed by the app, so this category has no Add cookie link.

Edit or Delete Cookies

Hover over a cookie in the list to show its action buttons:

• To edit a cookie, click the pencil icon and update its details.
• To delete a cookie, click the trash icon.

Warning: Deleting a cookie from the list does not remove the actual cookie from your website. It only removes it from the consent management display.

Show Cookie Details in the Preferences Popup

You can choose whether cookie details are shown in the Preferences popup that visitors see when they click "Preferences" on the banner.

1. Go to Banner settings and open the Behavior tab.
2. In the Banner type card, select Preferences or Accept/Preferences.
3. Click Edit next to Display cookies information, then choose Yes to show cookie names, descriptions, and durations, or No to show only the cookie categories.

Note: Showing cookie details in the preferences popup provides greater transparency, which is recommended for GDPR compliance.

Tips

• Use Export before making bulk edits, so you have a backup of your current cookie list.
• Add a cookie to the category that matches its purpose, so visitors can accept or reject it correctly in the preferences popup.
