This guide takes you from a fresh account to a live, compliant consent banner with a completed cookie scan.
TruePrivacy setup flow in the dashboard
1

Create your organization

Sign in to the TruePrivacy dashboard and create an organization. All sites, scans, consent records, and desktop agent enrollments are scoped to this organization.
2

Add and verify your domain

Under Settings → Sites, add your website domain (for example www.example.com). Verification confirms you control the domain before the banner serves consent for it. Each site receives a unique public key used by the banner script and public endpoints.
3

Configure your consent banner

Open Cookie Banner in the dashboard. Choose a layout (bar or modal), position, theme colors, and button set, and preview changes live. See Cookie Banner for every option.
4

Install the snippet

Add the single script tag to your site’s <head>, before any tracking scripts:
<script
  src="https://cdn.trueprivacy.io/banner.js"
  data-trueprivacy-key="pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  async
></script>
Full installation details, including SPA support and script blocking, are in Installing the Banner.
5

Run your first cookie scan

Go to Cookie Banner → Detected Cookies and click Run New Scan. TruePrivacy crawls your site with headless Chromium and reports every cookie, storage item, and tracker it finds. See Running Scans.
After your first scan completes, review the detected cookies and assign each to a consent category. The banner then blocks non-necessary cookies until the visitor consents.
