🔐 Updated IAB TCF to Version 2.4

🍪 New “Keep Cookies Until Consent” Option
A new Keep cookies until consent option gives you more control over how existing cookies are handled before a visitor makes a consent choice.
By default, CookieScript deletes non-essential cookies that are already stored on a visitor’s device before they accept or decline consent. When Keep cookies until consent is enabled, those cookies remain on the device until the visitor makes a choice and are then handled according to that decision.
This option affects cookies only. Script blocking, Google Consent Mode, IAB TCF, and other consent features continue to work as usual.
🔀 Banner Button Order Option for the First Layer
You can now customize the order of buttons displayed on the first layer of the Cookie Banner.
This new option gives you greater flexibility when configuring the banner layout and allows you to adjust the button order to better match your preferred user experience.
👋 Improved User Onboarding
We’ve improved the CookieScript onboarding process to make getting started smoother and more intuitive.
The updated experience helps guide users through the initial setup more clearly, making it easier to configure CookieScript and begin managing consent.
We’ve introduced several important updates to CookieScript, bringing more flexibility, improved performance, and greater control across the platform. 🚀
1. 🍪 Redesigned Cookie Banner
The Cookie Banner has been redesigned from the ground up using the latest modern technologies to deliver a faster, more flexible, and more refined experience.
The updated banner includes new configuration options that give you greater control over its appearance and behavior. Button styling can now be customized in more detail, while new banner designs provide additional options for matching your website’s look and feel.
We’ve also introduced new animations to create a smoother and more polished user experience.
Keyboard controls have been improved to make navigating and interacting with the banner easier, while performance enhancements help ensure faster banner loading and a more responsive preview experience.
2. 🧪 Pre-production and Staging
CookieScript now supports improved workflows for pre-production and staging environments.
This makes it easier to configure, review, and test your CookieScript implementation before changes are introduced to your live website, helping teams work more confidently across different development environments.
3. 💳 Plans, Subscriptions, and Pricing Update
We’ve updated our plans, subscriptions, and pricing structure to provide a clearer and more streamlined experience.
The changes make it easier to understand the available subscription options and choose the plan that best fits your CookieScript usage and requirements.
We’re introducing several new improvements to make CookieScript more flexible, collaborative, and data-friendly. 🚀
1. 🔍 Advertising Vendor Auto-Detection
You can now enable Advertising Vendor auto-detection directly in your banner settings.
To turn it on, go to:
Banner Settings → Frameworks → “Auto-detect advertising vendors”
This feature helps simplify banner configuration by automatically identifying advertising vendors, making it easier to manage vendor-related consent settings within your setup.
2. 📋 IAB TCF Framework Setting Overrides
When the IAB TCF framework is enabled, some banner settings will now be automatically overridden to align with IAB TCF standards.
This helps ensure that banners using the framework stay consistent with its requirements and expected configuration rules.
You can review which settings are affected here:
3. 📩 Send Installation Instructions to a Teammate
You can now send banner installation instructions directly to a teammate from within CookieScript.
To use this feature, first create a banner, then go to:
Banner Settings → Install → “Send instructions to team member”
Enter the email address and click Send — that’s it.
This makes it easier to collaborate with developers, colleagues, or clients during banner setup and implementation.
4. 📊 New Integration: Looker Studio
CookieScript now supports a new integration with Looker Studio, allowing you to connect your CookieScript banner analytics for more detailed reporting and visualization.
With this integration, you can track metrics such as:
Cookie banner accept/reject rates
Banner interaction data, including button clicks and usage
Cookie category insights, including the frequency of selected cookie categories
The integration is available through the CookieScript API, which is accessible on the Plus plan.
5. ⚙️ Other CookieScript Improvements
We’ve also introduced additional improvements across CookieScript to support a smoother and more refined user experience. These updates are aimed at making day-to-day banner management more efficient and easier to navigate.
We’ve shipped a few practical updates to make CookieScript easier to manage and more accessible.
🧩 Updated IAB TCF from 2.2 to TCF 2.3
CookieScript now supports IAB TCF 2.3, upgrading from TCF 2.2. This update helps keep your consent flows aligned with the latest TCF version.
🏷️ Cookie Badge: Custom Alt Text
You can now add custom alt text for the Cookie Badge (great for accessibility and screen readers).
To update it, go to: Banner settings → Texts and search for “Cookie badge alt text field” — then enter your preferred text.
🗑️ Restore Deleted Banners
Deleted a banner by mistake? You can now restore deleted banners directly from the dashboard.

Overview Page Added + Banner Branding & Performance Updates
We’ve shipped a set of improvements to make CookieScript easier to manage, more customizable, and more performance-friendly. 🚀
📊 New Overview Page
A brand-new Overview page is now available in CookieScript, giving you a single place to view the most relevant information about your banner. This makes it quicker to review your setup and confirm everything is configured the way you expect.

🖼️ Show a Custom Logo in the Banner
You can now upload and display your own logo directly in the cookie banner:
- Upload an image to use as your logo
- Choose to display it in the first layer and/or second layer of the banner
You’ll find this option under Banner Elements → “Show Custom Logo in the Banner.”

🏷️ Refined Cookie Badge Customization
The Cookie Badge option has been improved with more flexibility:
CookieScript allows you to display your own custom logo directly inside the cookie banner, helping you reinforce brand recognition and create a more consistent user experience.
This feature lets you upload a logo image that appears within the banner itself, without affecting its functionality or compliance.
For users who previously used custom badges, we’ve automatically downloaded and stored those images on our servers. The cookie badge is now included as part of the banner code rather than being loaded through a separate custom image link—helping ensure more consistent delivery and reliability.

✅ One-Click Banner Implementation Check
You can now verify whether your banner is implemented on your website in one click. This option is available directly in the new Overview page, making it faster to confirm installation status without extra steps.

⚡ Banner Layout Improvements for Better PageSpeed
We’ve refined the banner layout to help improve your Google PageSpeed score, supporting a smoother experience with reduced impact on performance.
🛍️ Shopify App Updated
The CookieScript Shopify app has been updated to support a more consistent and improved experience for Shopify users.
♿ High-Contrast Ratio Option (WCAG AAA)
Enable a High Contrast Ratio to meet WCAG AAA contrast requirements—improving readability and accessibility.
How to enable: Go to Banner Settings → Colors and toggle High Contrast Ratio.
🔔 Dashboard Notifications
Get notified about news and important activity across all your banners—directly in the app.
Find notifications in the top-right corner of the CookieScript dashboard (the bell icon).

⚖️ Improved Regulations Selection During Banner Setup
The Regulations step now features a cleaner layout and clearer guidance, making it easier to select the right compliance frameworks when creating a new banner.

🕒 Time Zone Setting in Profile
You can now set your time zone in CookieScript. The default is UTC, but you can switch to your local time for clearer scheduling.
Where to update: Go to Profile → Time zone and select your preferred time zone.
Once set, scan times and consent reset times will follow your selected time zone. We’ll continue enhancing this area with additional options in the future.
Stay tuned—more improvements are on the way to make compliance even simpler and smarter! 🎉
