Compare the integration methods and choose the one that best fits your situation.
To load Axeptio, several methods are available depending on your tools, technical level, and required flexibility. Here’s an overview of the available options.
Comparison Table
To help you choose the most suitable integration method for your context, here’s a comparison table of the main available options. It gives you a clear view based on your technical level, tools, and how cookie blocking can be implemented.
Method | Required Level | No-Code Installation | Cookie Blocking Setup | Recommended if… |
Google Tag Manager (or other TMs) | Easy to intermediate | ✅ Yes | Via GTM triggers that listen to visitor choices in the banner | You’re already using a Tag Manager |
CMS integration | Very easy | ✅ Yes | Via built-in blocking in our integration and/or GTM triggers | You have a WordPress, Drupal, Shopify site, etc. |
Hardcoded script | Technical | ❌ No | Managed via manual logic in code (check consent before execution) | You don’t use a CMS or Tag Manager |
1. Integration via Google Tag Manager (recommended)
A Tag Manager is a tag management system that lets you dynamically inject code into your site.
In this article, we’ll focus on Google Tag Manager (GTM) due to its free and user-friendly nature. Other Tag Managers are also available.
This is the simplest and most flexible method if you already use a tag manager (like GTM, Matomo TMS, etc.).
Why choose this method?
No changes needed in your site’s source code.
Quick setup with our ready-to-use GTM tag template: just paste your Axeptio project ID.
Simplified consent management: GTM triggers let you condition third-party services based on visitor choices.
Centralized view: manage all your marketing and analytics services from a single tool.
👉 If you’re unsure which method to use, start with this one.
2. Via Integration with Your CMS
Is your site built with Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Drupal, or another CMS? We likely have a plugin, module, or app you can install in a few clicks, without touching code.
Why use this method?
Fast installation directly from your admin interface.
No coding required: everything is managed via your CMS interface.
Simplified initial setup: some integrations (like WordPress or Drupal) detect other CMS plugins/extensions automatically and add them to your Axeptio consent banner.
Compatible with Tag Managers: you can combine both for even finer control over service triggering.
3. Hardcoding into Your Pages
This method involves manually copy-pasting the Axeptio script into each page of your site.
What you should know:
This method is best suited for technical users (developers).
You will also need to manually add logic to trigger third-party services based on user consent.
It can become difficult to maintain over time.
⚠️ We only recommend this method if you don’t use a CMS or Tag Manager and have strong technical expertise.
