Banners and buttons without code

A cookie banner, an age check, a chat button, an announcement bar and a popup.

Widgets: a cookie banner, an age check, a chat button and an announcement bar

Five things to switch on

Each is a switch in your site's editor, with a preview beside it.

  • Cookie banner

    Accept all, Reject all and Customize, at the top, the bottom or a corner. It asks before visits count.

  • Age check

    Yes or no, or a date of birth, with a minimum age from 13 to 25. Remembered for the visit or 30 days.

  • WhatsApp or Messenger button

    A round button in a corner of every page. On WhatsApp, a first message can be ready to send.

  • Announcement bar

    One line of up to 120 characters above your menu, with a link. Give it a last day and it hides itself.

  • Popup

    A message 5, 15 or 30 seconds after the page opens, with a button to a page of your choice.

  • Your words and colors

    Each widget speaks your site's language and uses its colors until you type or choose your own.

Live at your next publish

  1. Turn it on

    Open Widgets in your site's editor and flip the switch. The preview shows it as a first visitor would.

  2. Set the details

    Choose where it sits, its words and its colors. Colors that are hard to read get flagged.

  3. Save and publish

    Saving makes a new version with no credits used. Publishing puts it in front of visitors.

A banner that means it

A cookie banner is only worth having if it changes what happens on the page. With Shingle's switched on, your visit counter waits until the visitor allows it, and so does the map, which shows a Show map button in its place. Google Analytics, the Meta Pixel and embedded videos wait for their own answer too. Reject all sits beside Accept all, and the two look as alike as two buttons can.

The visitor's choice is kept in their browser for a year. Cookie settings in your footer and on your privacy page open it again, so they can change their mind, and your privacy page says what each widget keeps and for how long. The banner doesn't keep a record of consent on a server for you, so a business that may have to prove consent should plan for that.

The age check has a limit of its own. It asks visitors to declare their age and doesn't check anyone's identity. Whether that's enough depends on your business and where you are, so check what the rules ask of you.

AI changes leave them alone

Widgets are yours. Shingle's AI never writes or removes them.

  • Changes keep them

    Anything you ask Shingle to change leaves your widgets as they are.

  • Versions include them

    Restoring an earlier version brings back that version's widgets too.

  • Taps are counted

    Taps on the chat button show in your site's analytics as chat clicks.
