Add Footers for Cookie Policy and Settings in NetSuite

To meet SuiteCommerce Analytics Data consent requirements, your web store landing page, or any other selected pages must have specific footer links related to cookie policies and settings.

What Footer Links Are Required?

1. Cookie Policy: This link directs customers to your cookie or privacy policy page. You can add this link with Site Management Tools (SMT) by placing it as a text or link content item in the footer area.
   • Alternatively, you can add the link using your theme's footer link settings.
2. Cookie Settings: This link opens a cookie preferences dialog, allowing customers to view or change their consent settings. The SuiteCommerce Cookie Consent extension provides a custom content type (CCT), specifically the Cookie Modal Link, that should be integrated into your site using SMT.

Steps to Add the Cookie Modal Link

To efficiently add the Cookie Modal Link, follow these steps:

1. Confirm that the Cookie Modal Link content type is enabled in SMT.
2. Log in to SMT.
3. Navigate to the page where you want the cookie modal link added.
4. Click the Edit Mode icon from the Site Management toolbar.
5. Click the Add icon from the Site Management toolbar.
6. Select Cookie Modal Link from the displayed content types.
7. Drag the Cookie Modal Link into your site's footer area.
8. Publish changes to make them live on your site.
