Wix cookie banner
Wix closed its own banner.
Pick the one that holds your tags.
Wix says its own Wix Cookie Banner is no longer available for new sites; sites that already have it keep it. A new site gets Usercentrics for Wix from Privacy & Cookies: free, or €7 a month for Premium. It holds what Wix connects for you, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads and the Meta Pixel, but not apps made by other companies, and custom code stays Essential until you set its Code Type. Which route fits depends on what your site runs, who visits and whether the domain is connected. Tick those below and the picker names the route, what it holds and the Wix screens to use.

- Wix Cookie Banner: Closed to new sites. Already on your site? It keeps asking. Wix says sites that already have it keep it and can still edit it.
- Usercentrics for Wix: Free, or €7 a month. Privacy & Cookies > Add to Site Holds what Wix connects for you until a visitor agrees.
- A script in Custom Code: Needs a connected domain. Settings > Custom Code > + Add Custom Code Custom code loads as Essential until its Code Type is set.
Wix cookie banner free:
three routes, one of them closed.
Wix’s help article now says the Wix Cookie Banner is no longer available for new sites, and that a site which already has it keeps asking for consent and can still be edited. For a new site, Wix partnered with Usercentrics: you add it from Privacy & Cookies, scan the site, style it and switch it on. The basic version is free.
The third route is a script of your own in Wix’s Custom Code box. Builderify Cookie Consent is one: a single tag that holds the snippets you mark until a visitor agrees. The table shows what each route can and can’t hold on Wix. The setup on other platforms is in the guide to adding a cookie banner, and the guide to whether you need one starts a step earlier.
A banner needs a site on a connected domain: Wix says it doesn’t appear if the domain isn’t properly connected, and that you must upgrade the site before you can connect one. Wix’s plan page says a Premium plan lets you connect your own domain, with a 14-day money-back guarantee on the first upgrade. Prices vary by location, so none is quoted here.
| Route | Who can have it, and the price | What it holds | What it leaves out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wix Cookie Banner (the old one) | Sites that already have it. Wix says it is no longer available for new sites. The Wix article that mentions it names no separate charge. | It keeps asking visitors for consent, and you can keep editing it and add the link to your legal notices. | Not stated on the Wix page that mentions it: Google Consent Mode and a US opt-out. Check its settings. |
| Usercentrics for Wix, free | A site on a connected domain. Free, with unlimited banner views and one language. | What Wix connects for you: Google Analytics, Hotjar and Wix Analytics, Facebook Ads, Google Ads and the Facebook Pixel, HubSpot and POWr apps. GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2 are on its list. | Apps made by other companies, which Wix can't guarantee, and custom code left as Essential. CCPA isn't on the free list. |
| Usercentrics for Wix, Premium | The same sites. €7 a month, with a 14-day trial that Wix mentions. | Everything in the free plan, plus CCPA support, 60+ languages, banner position, styling, button labels and where the privacy button sits. | The same gaps: other companies' apps, and custom code until its Code Type is set. |
| A script in Custom Code | A published site on a connected domain. The tool's own price. | Snippets and embeds you mark or connect in that tool. | Wix says Google Analytics, Tag Manager and the Facebook and TikTok pixels do not work through custom code, and the integrations Wix runs answer to Wix's banner. |

Wix cookie consent:
which route holds your tags?
Say where the site is, tick what it runs and say who visits. The picker names one route, says which of your tags it holds and which it can’t promise, and lists the Wix screens in order. It runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.

Usercentrics for Wix, free plan
Your site runs things only Wix’s own banner can hold: Wix lists Google Analytics, Google Ads and the Meta Pixel from Marketing Integrations, and its Google Maps and Facebook elements, among what the banner stops until a visitor agrees. The free plan lists GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2 support.
What it costs
Free: unlimited banner views, one language and light and dark themes, from Usercentrics’ help page. It needs a site on a connected domain, and Wix says you must upgrade the site to connect one.
Your tags on this route
Usercentrics for Wix, free plan covers 2 of 2 as set up below.
-
Google Analytics, Google Ads or the Meta Pixel, connected in Marketing Integrations Held
Held. Wix lists Google Analytics, Hotjar and Wix Analytics as analytics, and Facebook Ads, Google Ads and the Facebook Pixel as marketing, and says the banner stops them until visitors agree.
-
Snippets I pasted into Settings > Custom Code If set up
Held once you set the snippet’s Code Type to Marketing, Analytic or Functional. Wix sets custom code to Essential by default, so it runs before anyone answers.
The Wix screens, in order
- 01Open Privacy & Cookies in your site’s dashboard and click Add to Site next to Add a cookie consent banner. Read Usercentrics’ notice and click Agree & Add.
- 02Open Cookie Consent Banner > Website Scan > Scan, then View scan results. The scan lists the Wix and third-party components that may need consent, with their cookie type.
- 03Under Customize, pick the layout and theme and link your privacy policy. Under Advanced, turn on Enable placeholders, so Wix-managed third-party components such as Google Maps and Facebook wait for a yes.
- 04Connect Google Analytics, Google Ads, the Meta Pixel or Tag Manager under Marketing Integrations, not by pasting their code into Custom Code: Wix says tracking scripts such as these do not work through custom code.
- 05Open Settings > Custom Code, open each snippet, and in its Code Type tab choose Marketing, Analytic or Functional, so the banner holds it.
- 06Turn on Show banner, publish, and open the live site in a private window. Wix says the banner can’t be seen in the editor or in Preview.
The picker applies what Wix and Usercentrics say on the pages read on 10 November 2026; it can’t see your site. Wix says it can’t guarantee that its banner stops other companies’ apps, and no banner is a compliance guarantee. Sources are listed at the end of the page.
Why a script isn’t the answer for everything on Wix
Two lines on Wix’s own pages decide it. Wix’s custom-code article says tracking scripts such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and the Facebook and TikTok pixels do not work through custom code and should be connected with Marketing Integrations. And Wix’s banner article says that with no active banner, all cookies and scripts load on a visitor’s first visit. So a script banner that replaces Wix’s would leave the integrations Wix runs for you with nothing holding them.
Builderify’s Cookie Consent can load Google Analytics or a pixel from an ID on other platforms. Whether a tag it loads that way is affected by Wix’s custom-code limit was not tested on a live Wix site for this page, so on Wix the picker keeps those tags with Wix’s own banner. What a script does well on Wix is what Wix’s banner can’t reach by itself: the snippets you mark, a US opt-out and Global Privacy Control, at a price in credits rather than a monthly plan.
Wix and Google Consent Mode v2:
who sends the signal.
Usercentrics’ help page for Wix says its banner supports Consent Mode v2 and, if Consent Mode is already enabled in your Tag Manager setup, already sends signals to it by default. Its Tag Manager page adds that Tag Manager receives nothing from the page until the visitor accepts the consents on its banner. What Google actually receives before a yes is for Tag Assistant to show, not for a help page to promise, so test it with the Consent Mode v2 guide.
One thing to know before you follow a tutorial: Google’s own Tag Manager page for Wix gives the click path Settings > Privacy & cookies > Edit Cookie Banner, then the “Display cookie banner on site” toggle. Wix’s current article for a new site starts at Privacy & Cookies > Add to Site. Follow the screens in your own dashboard, and Wix’s article over a third-party one.
Tag Manager on a Wix site with the banner, in order
- 01In the Wix dashboard, open Marketing Integrations, click Connect under Google Tag Manager, then Add Google Tag Manager, enter the container ID and click Save.
- 02In Tag Manager, open Admin > Container Settings and under Additional Settings tick Enable consent overview, then Save. Wix says Google has required this for Google tags in Tag Manager since 6 March 2024, under the Digital Markets Act.
- 03Open the Workspace tab > Tags, click the shield icon and set each tag's consent settings.
- 04Save and publish the container, then run Tag Assistant on the live site: the default state should be denied before the first choice, and update after it.

Wix cookie banner not showing?
And what it still won’t hold.
Wix gives two reasons a switched-on banner doesn’t appear, and says it can’t be seen while you edit. Then there is a short list of what no Wix banner holds, from Wix’s own pages.
If the banner doesn’t show
- 01Look at the live site, not the editor or Preview. Wix says the banner can't be seen in either: save, then open the published site.
- 02Use a private window. Wix says that after a visitor accepts or declines, the banner remembers the choice and doesn't show again; the privacy button reopens it.
- 03Check the domain. Wix says the banner won't appear if the domain isn't properly connected, and points to its Domain Assistant for connection problems.
- 04Check that Show banner is on under Cookie Consent Banner in the dashboard.

What no Wix banner holds
- Apps from the App Market made by other companies. Wix says it has no control over cookies they place and can't guarantee full compliance from them.
- Custom code, until you categorise it. Wix sets it to Essential by default, which means it loads without consent and can't be disabled by the visitor.
- Velo code. Wix says to connect it to its Consent API.
- Dashboard pages. Wix says components on them are not integrated with cookie banners; only you and your collaborators can open them.
Wix also warns that if you run Facebook Ads, a banner on your site may affect your campaign data. Sources: Wix Help, editor elements, apps, custom code and the cookie banner and categorizing your custom code.
The five-minute test
- 01Open the live site in a private window and open the browser's developer tools on the Network tab. Reload before you click anything.
- 02Filter the list by the names of your trackers. Nothing for analytics or marketing should load while the banner is still waiting for an answer.
- 03Click Accept all. The trackers you allowed should now load.
- 04Open the privacy button, switch the categories off and save. Reload: they should stay away.
- 05Do the same from a phone, and from a country you serve, if you have set regional rules.
If one tracker still loads, it is on the list above: custom code left on Essential, an app, or a script pasted outside the route you chose. The legal side, such as what counts as a valid yes, is in the cookie banner guide, and what Journey records once a visitor allows analytics is on its own page.
Wix cookie banners, before you ask.
Not for new sites. Wix says the Wix Cookie Banner is no longer available for new sites, and that a site which already has it keeps asking visitors for consent and can still edit it. New sites add Usercentrics for Wix from Privacy & Cookies > Add to Site. The basic version is free, and the old banner's help page does not say whether it sends Google Consent Mode signals, so check its settings if you rely on that.
The basic Usercentrics for Wix banner is free: unlimited banner views, GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2 support, one language and light and dark themes. Premium costs €7 a month on Usercentrics' help page and adds CCPA support, 60+ languages and full styling. Either needs a site on a connected domain, and Wix says you must upgrade the site before you can connect one.
Wix gives two reasons: the visitor already accepted or declined and the banner remembers the choice (the privacy button reopens it), or the domain is not properly connected. Wix also says the banner cannot be seen in the editor or in Preview, so check the published site in a private window and confirm that Show banner is on.
Wix says it does for what Wix connects for you: it lists Google Analytics, Hotjar and Wix Analytics as analytics, and Facebook Ads, Google Ads and the Facebook Pixel as marketing, and stops them until visitors agree. It cannot guarantee it for apps made by other companies, and custom code is set to Essential by default, so it loads before consent until you change its Code Type.
Yes, through Settings > Custom Code on a published site with a connected domain. Wix says Google Analytics, Tag Manager and the Facebook and TikTok pixels do not work through custom code and should be connected in Marketing Integrations, where Wix's own banner is what holds them. A script suits the snippets you mark yourself. Show only one banner, so visitors are asked once.
