Footer Links for Cookie Policy and Settings in SuiteCommerce

To comply with SuiteCommerce Analytics Data consent requirements, it is essential to include specific footer links on your web store landing pages. These links facilitate transparency and give customers control over their privacy settings. Here's what you need to know about implementing these links:

What Links Should Be Added?

Your footer should include the following links:

• Cookie Policy: This link should direct customers to your cookie or privacy policy page. You can add this link through Site Management Tools (SMT) either as a text or linked content item in the footer area. Alternatively, you can configure it using your theme's footer link settings.
• Cookie Settings: This link opens a cookie preferences dialog where customers can view or change their consent settings. To implement this, use the SuiteCommerce Cookie Consent extension, which contains a custom content type (CCT) named Cookie Modal Link.

How to Add the Cookie Modal Link

To include the Cookie Modal Link on your website, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the Cookie Modal Link content type is enabled in SMT.
2. Log in to SMT.
3. Navigate to the page where you want to place the cookie modal link.
4. Click the Edit Mode icon from the Site Management toolbar.
5. Select the Add icon from the toolbar.
6. From the available content types, choose Cookie Modal Link.
7. Drag the Cookie Modal Link into your site's footer area.
8. Don't forget to publish your changes to make them live on your site.

When implemented correctly, clicking the cookie settings link will present customers with a dialog, allowing them to view and update their cookie preferences.
