    7. You will receive an email with a confirmation link. Click the link to activate your iubenda account.

    8. After activating your account, the system will automatically create it and display the codes for your consent banner. You can integrate these codes using Google Tag Manager (GTM) or manually:

    • If you’re not using GTM, simply copy and paste the provided code directly into your website (make sure to paste the code snippet as the first element in the <head> tag of your website’s HTML).
    • To use GTM, select the GTM container where the code should be inserted.

    Customize your iubenda CMP Settings

    Once your iubenda account is created, default settings for your consent banner are automatically applied to help you comply with global privacy laws. These include using your email as your account details, your website URL as the site name, and the chosen language as the default. A website scan is also triggered to set up your privacy and consent preferences.

    💡 You can always customize these default settings to fit your needs and specific requirements by clicking “Visit iubenda
