Cookie Consent & Chat Widget: The Smooth Solution!

This isn’t a feature you need to manually implement with a series of clicks and configurations. The beauty of this update lies in its automatic nature. If you’re already using the Chat Widget on your GoHighLevel funnel websites and you have the Cookie Consent Banner enabled, this improvement is already working its magic behind the scenes. You don’t need to flip any switches or adjust any settings.

Think of it this way: GoHighLevel has simply made the Chat Widget smarter. It now checks to see if a visitor has given their consent to cookies. If they have, the widget loads as it always has. If they haven’t, the widget politely waits until that consent is given before making its appearance. This ensures a smoother, less intrusive experience for your visitors, right from the moment they land on your page.So, while there aren’t specific steps you need to take to implement this, understanding where these features live within GoHighLevel is key to knowing it’s working for you.

• Navigate to your GoHighLevel account.
• Go to the “Sites” section.
• Select “Funnels.”

• Choose the specific funnel you want to check.

• Open the funnel editor for any page where you have embedded the chat widget.
• Locate the “Chat Widget” element on your page. Ensure it is toggled “On” and configured to your preferences.

• Still within your GoHighLevel account, go to “Sites.”
• Look for “Settings” in the top right corner and click on it.
• In the left-hand menu, find “Cookie Consent.”

• Make sure the “Enable Cookie Consent Banner” toggle is switched “On.”
• Review your settings here to ensure the banner is configured to your liking, including the message and button text.
• Once you’re happy with the settings, click “Save” at the bottom of the page.

Seeing it in Action:

The best way to “implement” this update is to simply observe it in action.

1. Open your funnel website in an incognito or private browsing window. This will simulate a first-time visitor who hasn’t yet given cookie consent.
2. Notice that the chat widget does not appear immediately. You should see your cookie consent banner displayed.
3. Interact with the cookie consent banner by clicking “Accept” (or your chosen affirmative action).
4. Observe that the chat widget now loads and becomes visible on the page.

That’s it! No complex steps, no intricate settings to adjust. GoHighLevel has seamlessly integrated this enhancement to improve your funnels and your visitors’ experience. Just ensure both the Chat Widget and Cookie Consent Banner are enabled, and the magic happens automatically.

• Elevated User Experience: Detail how preventing the overlap creates a cleaner, more professional aesthetic on your funnel pages, leading to a better first impression and increased user trust. When visitors aren’t greeted with visual clutter, they’re more likely to stay engaged and explore what you have to offer.
• Strengthened Compliance and Trust: Explain how this update helps ensure compliance with privacy regulations by respecting user preferences regarding cookies before loading potentially tracking elements like the chat widget. This builds transparency and trust with your audience, showing them you value their privacy.
• Seamless and Automatic Integration: Reiterate that this improvement works automatically for users who have both features enabled, requiring no manual adjustments or complex configurations. This saves time and effort, allowing you to focus on other crucial aspects of your business.

Picture a potential customer landing on your high-converting lead generation funnel. In the past, the chat widget might have popped up right away, potentially covering a portion of your important cookie consent information. This could have looked unprofessional and even caused the visitor to feel uneasy.

Now, with this smart update, the visitor first clearly sees your cookie consent banner. They can make an informed decision about their privacy. Only after they’ve given their consent does the friendly chat widget smoothly appear, ready to assist them with any questions and guide them further down your funnel. This creates a much more polished, trustworthy, and user-friendly interaction.

This latest update from GoHighLevel is a testament to their commitment to providing a seamless and compliant platform for its users. By ensuring the harmonious coexistence of the chat widget and cookie consent on your funnel websites, GoHighLevel is helping you create better user experiences and build stronger relationships with your audience.
