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

1. Open your Webflow project and go to the **Cookie Consent App Settings** tab.
2. Find the **Cookie Consent Popup Showing Delay** option.
3. 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.
4. 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**.
