The Cookie Consent Popup Showing Delay setting lets you control when the cookie consent popup appears after a page has fully loaded.
By default, the popup shows immediately (0 seconds), but you can introduce a delay to improve user experience and avoid disrupting visitors the moment they land on your website.
How to Configure
- Open your Webflow project and go to the Cookie Consent App Settings tab.
- Find the Cookie Consent Popup Showing Delay option.
- Enter the number of seconds you want to delay the popup.
- 0 → Show immediately after page load.
- 3 → Wait 3 seconds before showing.
- 5 → Wait 5 seconds before showing.
- Any positive integer value is allowed.
- Save your changes.
Best Practices
- Immediate display (0 seconds): Ensures compliance by capturing consent right away.
- Short delay (2–5 seconds): Creates a smoother experience by letting visitors view initial page content before being prompted.
- Long delay (>5 seconds): Not recommended, as it may lead to compliance risks if tracking cookies load before consent.
Example
If you set the delay to 3 seconds, a visitor will land on your site, see the page content first, and then the cookie consent popup will appear 3 seconds later.
