The Wix cookie banner is on.
Does it block?

The most common causes

The banner shows, the choice is saved, and data still goes out. Usually your own code is still on the default setting.

1. 01

   Own code set to “Essential”

   Wix categorises code under Settings, Custom Code as “Essential” by default. That category loads before consent and cannot be declined, even if it holds a Meta Pixel or Google Analytics.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

2. 02

   Embeds and apps

   The banner does not always hold back HTML embeds (iframes) and apps from the Wix App Market. Only measuring shows which still load.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

3. 03

   Tag in Google Tag Manager

   If Tag Manager runs through Custom Code, a tag without “Require additional consent” (Advanced settings) fires whatever was chosen in the banner.

   Art. 5(3) Directive 2002/58/EC

Step by step

1. Measure

   Open the website without consenting and note which services load; then click “Reject” and look again. The report does this for you, with the address of each service.

2. Categorise code

   In the dashboard under Settings, Custom Code, open each entry, tab Code Type, and choose the matching category: Analytic for statistics, Marketing for advertising, Functional for preferences. “Essential” only for code the site cannot work without.

3. Check embeds

   If a video, map or app loads before consent, ask the app's provider whether it asks for consent, or remove the element.

4. Measure again

   Check again without consent and after “Reject”. Only when the service is gone in both runs is it held back.
