December Feature Roundup: Banner Design, Video Compliance & Smarter Geotargeting

December was a month of precision - you now have more control over your banner aesthetics, simplifying complex accessibility requirements, and ensuring your global compliance logic is bulletproof.

As we closed out 2025, our focus was on helping you start the new year with a store that is as compliant as it is beautiful.

Let’s take a look at the highlights! 👇

Premium Feature: Smart Geotargeting

Automatically show a different, legally correct banner for every visitor based on their location. No more guessing which laws apply where.

• Instant regional compliance – Your store stays compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and more, based on the visitor's live location.
• Zero manual setup – No need to configure regions one by one; we handle the global logic instantly.
• Easy activation – Switch it on once and let the app handle regional compliance globally.

Enable anytime for automated global compliance from Cookie banner > Regions.

New Integration Scanner - Status Checks

To prevent data loss and ensure your marketing pixels are firing correctly, our Integration Scanner now runs real-time health checks in the background.

• Automatic Error Detection: Identify duplicate IDs, configuration errors, or missing pixels for Meta, TikTok, Microsoft, and Google Consent Mode.
• Real-Time Status: View your compliance health directly in your admin dashboard.
• Clear Fixes: If an issue is detected, we provide step-by-step instructions to get you back on track.

👉 Check your status inside each Integration page.

New Integration: YouTube Embed

Staying compliant with video content is now effortless.

Our new YouTube integration ensures that embedded videos are blocked by default until visitors provide consent for marketing cookies.

• Automatic Blocking: No manual script editing or coding required.
• Compliant Placeholders: Instead of a broken link or a blank space, shoppers see a professional prompt in place of the video until they opt-in.
• 1-Click Control: Simply toggle the integration on to protect your store's compliance health.

👉 Enable it today in Integrations > YouTube Embed.

New: Custom Overlay for Force Banner Interaction

We’ve enhanced the Force Banner Interaction feature to give you more control over the "cookie wall" experience.

• Custom Overlay Color: You can now choose the exact color that appears behind your banner when interaction is required.
• Adjustable Transparency: Match your brand’s palette or adjust the opacity to improve readability and visual flow.

👉 Find this in Cookie Banner > Behavior > Force Banner Interaction > Overlay Color.

New: Box Shadow Effect

Give your cookie banner a modern, premium feel with our new Box Shadow design option.

• Increased Visibility: Create depth and visual separation, making your banner stand out clearly against your store's background.
• One-Click Activation: No theme adjustments or CSS knowledge needed—just a simple toggle.
• Modern Aesthetics: Keep your design clean while ensuring the banner is impossible to miss.

👉 Try it now in Cookie Banner > Design > Advanced Customizations.

Update: New Compliance Warnings

Take the guesswork out of international law. You’ll now get clear, visual alerts if your setup doesn't match local regulations.

• Instant Visual Alerts: Regions are highlighted in orange when the applied consent model doesn't match what is legally expected for that area.
• Hover for Help: Simply hover over the warning to see exactly what is wrong and which consent model you should be using.
• One-Click Resolution: Enable Smart Geotargeting to automatically resolve these warnings and apply the correct laws globally.

👉 Check your setup in Cookie Banner > Regions.
