How to Use the Cookie Consent Banner in GoHighLevel Funnels and Websites

If you manage multiple projects in tools like ClickUp and need a simple way to handle cookie notices, the built-in banner in GoHighLevel makes it easy to display a clear consent message across your funnels and sites. This guide walks you step by step through enabling, customizing, and managing the cookie consent banner so visitors understand how cookies are used while you keep your tracking and analytics running smoothly.

The instructions below are based on the official documentation from the GoHighLevel support portal and focus on the practical steps you can follow immediately inside your account.

What the GoHighLevel Cookie Consent Banner Does

The cookie consent feature in GoHighLevel provides a standard banner at the bottom of your funnels and websites that informs users you are using cookies. It helps you:

• Display a short, clear message about cookie usage.
• Give visitors a visible notice before they continue using your pages.
• Offer a direct link to your privacy or cookie policy.
• Provide a basic layer of transparency that supports compliance efforts.

The banner is designed to be simple: once enabled, it appears automatically on published funnel steps and website pages within that specific GoHighLevel location.

Where to Enable the Cookie Banner in GoHighLevel

You configure the cookie consent banner at the location level inside GoHighLevel. This means that all funnels and websites under that location can share the same banner settings.

To access the settings:

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Select the sub-account (location) in which your funnel or website is built.
3. Open the main left-hand menu.
4. Navigate to Settings.
5. Find and select the Business Info or similar configuration area where global site and tracking options are listed.

Within this section you will see a panel or toggle related specifically to cookie consent for your GoHighLevel funnels and websites.

How to Turn On the Cookie Consent Banner in GoHighLevel

Once you are in the correct settings screen, follow these steps to enable the banner:

1. Locate the Cookie Consent option or toggle.
2. Switch the toggle from Off to On.
3. After enabling, you will see fields to edit the message text and the policy link URL.
4. Click Save at the bottom or top of the page to apply your changes.

When the banner is turned on, GoHighLevel will automatically display it on all applicable funnel steps and website pages under that location, without needing to edit each individual page.

Customizing the GoHighLevel Cookie Banner Text

GoHighLevel allows you to customize the text displayed inside the cookie consent banner so it fits your brand voice and legal requirements.

Typical customization options include:

• Headline or main statement about cookies.
• Supporting text explaining what cookies do on your site.
• Button label for acknowledging or accepting cookies.

Here is a simple example message you might use in your GoHighLevel banner:

• “We use cookies to improve your experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content. By continuing to browse, you agree to our use of cookies.”

Make sure your text is:

• Short and easy to read.
• Specific about why cookies are used (analytics, personalization, etc.).
• Aligned with the details in your privacy or cookie policy page.

Adding a Policy Link to Your GoHighLevel Banner

An important part of any cookie notice is a link to your detailed policy. In GoHighLevel, you can add this link directly in the cookie consent settings.

1. Create or identify an existing Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy page, either on your GoHighLevel website, your main domain, or another compliant property.
2. Copy the full URL of that policy page.
3. Return to the Cookie Consent settings in your GoHighLevel location.
4. Paste the URL into the field labeled for the policy link.
5. Save your changes.

Once saved, the cookie banner will display a clickable link that takes visitors to your detailed policy, helping them learn more about what data is collected and how it is used.

Previewing the Cookie Consent Banner in GoHighLevel Funnels

After enabling and customizing the banner, you should preview how it appears across your assets inside GoHighLevel.

1. Open the Funnels section in your location.
2. Select a funnel that is connected to this location.
3. Click a specific funnel step and use the Preview option.
4. In the browser tab that opens, scroll to the bottom of the page.
5. Verify that the cookie banner is visible, readable, and contains the correct text and link.

If you do not see the banner, confirm that it is enabled in the correct location and that the funnel step is assigned to that same location in GoHighLevel.

Checking the Banner on GoHighLevel Websites

The cookie consent banner also applies to regular websites built inside GoHighLevel.

1. Go to the Sites or Websites section of your location.
2. Choose the website where you want to confirm the banner is active.
3. Open a page in Preview mode.
4. Look at the bottom of the page for the cookie consent banner.
5. Test the policy link and any buttons to ensure they work as expected.

If the banner appears on your funnels but not on websites, double-check that both assets are in the same GoHighLevel location and that the website is published.

Managing User Experience with the GoHighLevel Cookie Banner

While configuration is technical, the message and layout also impact user experience on your GoHighLevel pages. Consider the following best practices:

• Placement: Keep the default bottom placement, which is less intrusive and still visible.
• Contrast: Make sure the banner text is easy to read against its background.
• Clarity: Use plain language instead of heavy legal jargon.
• Mobile view: Test on phones and tablets to confirm the banner does not cover essential buttons or forms.

These adjustments help ensure that your GoHighLevel funnels and websites remain usable while still providing clear notice about cookies.

Limitations and Compliance Notes for GoHighLevel Cookie Consent

The cookie consent banner in GoHighLevel is a notice and basic acknowledgment tool. It does not automatically block or manage cookies at a granular level. For this reason, you should:

• Consult with a legal or privacy professional about your specific compliance needs.
• Ensure your policy pages accurately describe how you use cookies and analytics tools.
• Consider additional consent tools if your region requires strict prior consent for certain cookies.

GoHighLevel provides the presentation layer for a cookie message, while your business remains responsible for ensuring full compliance with laws such as GDPR, ePrivacy, or other regional regulations.

Troubleshooting Common GoHighLevel Cookie Banner Issues

If your cookie banner is not working as expected inside GoHighLevel, run through this quick checklist:

• Banner not showing: Confirm the toggle is enabled in the correct location and that the funnel step or website belongs to that same location.
• Text not updating: Clear your browser cache or test in an incognito window after saving settings.
• Link broken: Verify you pasted the correct full URL, including https://.
• Overlapping elements: Check your page design and padding to ensure the banner does not cover essential content, especially on mobile.

If issues continue, compare your configuration with the official GoHighLevel documentation at this support article or reach out to your platform administrator.

Next Steps and Additional GoHighLevel Resources

Once your cookie consent banner is active and tested, you can continue optimizing the rest of your GoHighLevel funnels and websites for performance and conversions. Align your tracking tools, privacy policy, and analytics events so the data you gather is both useful and responsibly managed.
