Change between the consent popup templates
The default cookie template for all newly created consent solutions is the "Overlay v2 - Google Consent mode v2" template.
To change the template, navigate to your consent solution for which you want to apply the new consent popup template. Choose the tab "popup" and click "change template."
In the dropdown, choose the design of your choice and click "Save and Publish".
You can also change the standard popup text by navigating to the "Copy and Translations"
To finalize, click "Save & Publish".
The design applies to the current Consent Solution and the domains connected to it. This change will not affect other Consent Solutions within your account as their designs will stay the same - nor the text for the current one. It will only update the design/code.
Note: Changing the template will not include any custom styling of the template you have made. If you styled your popup, you would have to style the new template again.
Note 2: To live up to the new guidelines from the Danish DPA (Datatilsynet), you will have to choose one of the following templates: Standard, Sidebar, Overlay v2 or Overlay v3 and Overlay v2 or v3 with Consent Mode v2.
