Adding a Cookie Consent Banner (Termly)

Adding a consent banner is a requirement for schools that wish to use Google Analytics 4 to track user journeys in Finalsite Enrollment.

Consent is usually achieved via an automatic pop-up that appears on a webpage, informing users of how their personal information will or will not be saved and used on that site. Users can click through a consent confirmation to indicate that they want to continue using the site.

Finalsite Enrollment utilizes Termly for consent management. Follow the directions below to access and create a consent banner code that you can add to your site.
