Cookie Consent Popup Showing Delay

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.
