My Axeptio banner is not displaying

Written by Alexandre Dias Da Silva

If your Axeptio banner is not displaying on your site, this may be related to:

  • the status of your plan or billing,

  • an unpublished configuration,

  • a recent update to your integration (for example via Google Tag Manager),

  • the fact that Axeptio is not loading on the page,

  • or a JavaScript error.

Follow the steps below in order. In the majority of cases, the problem can be identified and resolved quickly.

Step 1 — Check the status of your plan and billing

Start by checking the status of your Axeptio plan and your billing.

Depending on your situation, the banner may be automatically unpublished:

Free trial

If you are using Axeptio in free version, the banner may be unpublished if you have exceeded the threshold of 200 unique visitors over a 30-day period for more than 21 days.

More information on the free trial.

Active subscription

If you have an active subscription, the banner may also be unpublished in case of a billing problem (for example a failed or overdue payment).

👉 In these cases, the problem is not related to technical integration.

Check your status directly in your Axeptio admin (plan, subscription or billing), or search for an error message related to your account status in your browser console.

If necessary, update your plan or your billing information, then continue with the following steps.

Step 2 — Check and republish your Axeptio project

If your plan is active (or if you have recently gone back under the free trial limits):

  1. Log in to your Axeptio admin.

  2. Check that your project is published.

  3. If you have recently modified your configuration (banner, cookies, vendors, settings…), click Publish (in the top right).

  4. Reload your site.

👉 If the banner appears, the problem is resolved.

👉 Otherwise, continue.

Step 3 — If you are using Google Tag Manager

If Axeptio is installed via Google Tag Manager and you have recently updated the Axeptio tag template, certain parameters related to Consent Mode v2 may require a reset.

In this case, follow the steps below:

To check in Google Tag Manager:

  1. Open your Axeptio CMP tag in Google Tag Manager.

  2. Go to the Consent Mode v2 section of the tag settings.

  3. Delete all existing rows in the signals table.

  4. Then recreate the rows identically (same values as before).

  5. Save the tag.

  6. Publish your GTM container.

  7. Reload your site and check if the banner displays.

👉 In many cases, this action restores normal behavior after a tag template update.

👉 If the banner appears, the problem is resolved.

👉 Otherwise, continue.

Step 4 — Check that Axeptio is properly loading on the page

Before going further, make sure that Axeptio is properly loading on your site.

  1. Open the page where the banner should display.

  2. Right-click on the page and select Inspect.

  3. Open the Console tab.

  4. Type the following command and press Enter:

window.axeptioSDK

How to interpret the result:

  • ✅ If the result is not undefined, Axeptio is properly loading on the page.

  • ❌ If the result is undefined, Axeptio is probably not loading or is no longer present on this page.

👉 If Axeptio is not loading, the problem is related to integration (missing, blocked, or non-executed script).

Please check your integration and consult our documentation to ensure that Axeptio is correctly installed (GTM, plugin, or direct JavaScript integration).

Step 5 — Check for errors in your browser

If the banner still does not display, a JavaScript error may prevent Axeptio from loading.

On Google Chrome

  1. Right-click on the page → Inspect

  2. Console tab

  3. Look for error messages in red

On Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge

  1. Right-click → Inspect

  2. Console tab

On Safari

  1. Enable the Develop menu in preferences

  2. Open Develop → JavaScript Console

👉 Note or capture any errors displayed.

Step 6 — Refresh your browser, clear cache and cookies

It can happen that your browser loads a cached version of your site or reuses existing cookies, even after publishing changes.

Before contacting support, try the following actions:

  • Perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 or Cmd + Shift + R).

  • Clear your browser cache.

  • Delete cookies related to your site.

  • Reload the page.

Alternative checks

You can also:

  • open the site in a private / incognito browsing window,

  • or test in another browser.

👉 If the banner appears, the problem is resolved.

👉 Otherwise, continue.

Step 5 — Contact Axeptio support
