The cookie notice slides in at the bottom of the page until the visitor dismisses it, then stays hidden for a year. Its content is a template part, so the text, buttons, and colors are edited with blocks.

## Turn it on

1. Go to **Flatsome → Settings → Cookie Notice** and check **Enable cookie notice**.
2. Adjust **Delay (ms)**, the time before the notice appears. The default is 2.5 seconds.

## Edit the text and look

Choose **Edit cookie notice template** on the settings screen, or open the **Cookie Notice** template part in the Builder under **Overlays & Notices**. Change the wording, link to your privacy policy, and style the container like any block. The **Cookie Notice Dismiss** button is what records the choice; keep at least one, but you can restyle it or change its label.

To open the template part from your site, hover **Edit with Flatsome Builder** in the admin bar while logged in and choose **Edit Cookie Notice**. The link is there while the notice is enabled.

## Show it again

When the policy changes, increase **Version** on the settings screen. Every visitor who dismissed the old notice sees the new one.

## Consent management

The notice informs; it does not block scripts or record per-category consent. If your region requires opt-in consent for analytics or marketing cookies, use a consent management plugin and leave this notice off to avoid showing two banners.
