We’ve rolled out a redesigned cookie banner and a refreshed configurator to match.
This update isn’t just about visuals, but about making consent easier for visitors to give and for the people responsible for it to manage. Website owners, developers, agencies, and compliance teams all interact with consent in different ways, and this refresh aligns the public-facing banner and the admin-facing configurator.
The result is a clearer experience for visitors and a smoother setup behind the scenes.
If you’re already using iubenda, everything you rely on is still there. The change is in how it looks, how it feels, and how easy it is to configure.
A clearer banner for visitors
The new banner layout is cleaner, more structured, and easier to navigate.
It’s organized into three clear sections (header, body, and footer), with tabs that separate the notice from consent preferences. This helps make consent easier to understand and use, especially on mobile.
Purpose categories are shown with clear, pill-style indicators for Marketing, Functionality, Measurement, and Experience. Branding has also been refined, with logo colors that automatically adapt to your chosen theme.
Accessibility was a core focus. The new banner is designed to meet AAA contrast standards and improves touch targets and scrolling behavior, making it easier to interact across devices.
A configurator that’s easier to work with
The configurator has been redesigned to match the new banner, both visually and functionally.
As you customize settings, a live preview updates in real time. Color options are streamlined, settings are easier to navigate, and visual feedback is clearer as you make changes.
Each editable section also includes accessibility feedback to help you understand how design choices affect readability and contrast as you configure the banner.
Color customization is simpler now, too. Choose a primary color, and the banner automatically generates a balanced color scheme. All existing positioning and sizing options remain available.
A note on banner branding
For new websites created with the updated Privacy Controls & Cookie Solution, iubenda branding is visible by default and can be disabled from the Essential plan and above.
What hasn’t changed
All existing functionality remains intact. Integrations like TCF and Google Consent Mode continue to work as before. Pricing and plan features stay the same. Existing configurations are preserved.
What to expect
New users started seeing the redesigned banner and configurator in December. Since then, we’ve been gradually expanding availability.
Selected users can switch existing websites to the new design via a manual toggle in the configurator, with gradual rollout to all users. Before any automatic migrations begin, we’ll first collect feedback from new users using the updated Cookie Solution to ensure everything runs smoothly. Automatic migrations will then roll out throughout 2026, starting with free websites in multiple phases.
All users will be notified well in advance via email before any changes take place, giving them ample time to review the update and prepare accordingly.
This phased approach helps us roll out improvements safely, without disrupting live sites. This update reflects how we think about consent: clear, accessible, and practical for real teams managing real websites. We’re excited for you to explore what’s new.
