In short
The Banner Editor allows you to design and configure your mobile app banner to match your app’s brand, language, and compliance needs. From layout and styling to regional logic and policy content, all settings can be controlled through a real-time visual editor.

Overview
The Banner editor enables you to customize the look and feel of the consent banner, giving you control over banner placement and layout, assisting you to improve user experience, enabling you to preview changes in real-time, manage banner language, and implement branding consistency.
However, the Banner Editor does not control the consent logic (such as explicit vs. implicit consent), nor does it define which buttons appear or what actions they trigger. Those configurations are created and managed in the Banner Builder.
The Banner Editor simply allows you to reuse pre-built banners and apply them to different domains or geographies, customizing them to match the site’s brand and regulatory requirements.
The Banner Editor is divided into three main configuration areas:
Visual aspect: Design and position the banner, apply brand colors, and configure the widget.
Content: Customize banner policy links, and multilanguage behavior.
Behavior: Dynamically assign which banner to use per region or country using geolocation.
Visual Aspect
Position and format
Choose from five different layout styles:
Bottom bar
Top bar
Full-width
These layouts ensure the banner fits seamlessly into your app’s UI.
Colors
Customize the banner's color palette using the fields provided:
Main color: for buttons and action items
Background color: for the banner surface
Font color: for all text
This helps keep your cookie experience visually consistent with your brand identity.
Custom logo
Upload your logo to be displayed on the banner. While both PNG and SVG formats are supported, SVG is recommended as it offers a smaller file size. This helps minimize the banner’s visual load and ensures faster rendering on your site. The logo will only in the secondary screen of the banner.
Add a Link to Reopen the Banner
This ensures users have easy, ongoing access to manage their privacy preferences, which is essential for transparency and regulatory compliance.
To add this capability, you can place a link, such as one labeled “Privacy Preferences”, or a button anywhere on your app.
Preview and Publishing
The central area of the Banner Editor provides a real-time preview of your cookie consent banner as you customize it. This allows you to immediately see how changes to layout, colors, language, will appear on your site.
In the top-right corner, you’ll find dropdown menus to:
Preview the Banner Type (e.g., Global, GDPR, or US Opt-out)
Preview the Display Language from the available options
Once you're satisfied with the configuration, click Save & Publish to apply your changes to the app.
Content
The Content tab manages the language, messaging, and legal links included in the banner.
Mobile App Banner Multi-language
The cookie banner supports over 30 languages and can be configured in three ways:
1. Single Language
Disable Multilanguage to always display the banner in one specific language. You can select which one from the dropdown.
2. Match Browser Language
Enable Multilanguage to automatically show the banner in the system language. This ensures better engagement and clearer consent for international users.
3. Match App Language
If your app supports dynamic languages, you can sync the banner with your app.
All text, labels, buttons, and even the cookie policy (if using BigID’s version) will translate accordingly.
Link a Tracking Policy
You can include a link to your own tracking policy URL, or choose to exclude it from the banner.
Link a Privacy Policy
You can include a link to your own privacy policy URL, or choose to exclude it from the banner.
Link Terms & Conditions
You have the option to provide a custom Terms & Conditions URL or omit it based on your site’s needs.
Link DSR (Data Subject Request)
If you're using the BigID Privacy Portal, you can link to your existing DSR form here. This allows users to submit access, deletion, or correction requests, providing a more comprehensive and user-friendly privacy experience.
Behavior
The Behavior section controls how the banner will be displayed in different regions.
The Behaviour tab allows you to define dynamic banner logic based on the user's location. This means you can show different banner types (e.g., opt-in, opt-out, simplified) depending on the visitor’s country, region, or U.S. state—helping you comply with region-specific privacy laws.
