- By creating a customized cookie banner in your CMS: Some CMSs (content management systems), such as Joomla and Drupal, have built-in cookie banner support. If your CMS has this feature, you can simply customize your banner in the CMS settings.

8. What happens if we don't show a cookie banner at all? Will our site be blocked in Europe?
If your organization's website accepts donations from European citizens, it's essential that you ensure compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by displaying a cookie banner. Your page won't be blocked if you don't have a cookie banner, but you could face fines and penalties if you're found to be non-compliant with European regulations.
9. We're an American organization, but we get donations from Europe/the UK. What should we do?
As you're accepting donations from European donors, you need to comply with GDPR by implementing a clear cookie banner that informs users about what types of cookies are used and why, and obtain their consent before collecting any data. This is a crucial step in ensuring GDPR compliance and avoiding potential fines and penalties from European regulatory authorities.
