Updating Termly Cookie Policy and Adding a New Policy Id to Your Website
After you make any updates to your website information in Termly, your website's Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and any Return Policy (if configured), are updated automatically.
However, your Cookie Policy is not updated automatically but needs to be regenerated and you will also need to add a new Cookie Policy id to your website by following the instructions below.
The instructions below explain how to complete both of these steps.
Step 1 - Regenerate Cookie Policy
- Go to https://termly.io/
- Select [Sign In] and enter your Termly login details
- You will be taken to the dashboard for your website
- On the left-hand side of the screen select Policies
- Select Cookie Policy
- Select [Scan Now]
- Scanning might take 20+ min (but could take up to an hour)
- Once the scan is complete, the updated Cookie Policy with a current date will be displayed on this admin page
- On the top right-hand side of the screen select [ADD TO WEBSITE]
- A "Choose how to add your policy to your website/app" window will open
- Choose URL
- A full URL will be displayed
- Copy on the part of the URL containing a long string of numbers. For example, if the following URL is displayed: https://app.termly.io/document/cookie-policy/0a000b00-0000-0000-cd0a-000b00c00d00, copy only the 0a000b00-0000-0000-cd0a-000b00c00d00 part.
- Now you need to add it to your website in builder.io (see Step 2 below)
Step 2 - Add a New Cookie Policy Id to Your Website
- Go to Builder.io Admin. See this Help Article if you need help logging in: Log In and Out of Builder.io
- Select "Content" in the left margin to navigate to https://builder.io/content
- On the left-hand side of the screen find the "CONTENT TYPES" section
- Select the "Page model" subsection to expand it (if not already expanded)
- Select the "Page" subsection
- You will see a list of all the pages of your website
- Select Cookie Policy
- A page editor will open
- On the left-hand side of the screen select the layers tab
- Select a layer called TermlyPolicy
- On the right-hand side of the screen you will see a Block Options section with a Policy id field
- Replace the old id in this field with the new one you generated in Termly which you should have in your copy buffer from the end of Step 1 above
- In the top-right section of the screen select [Publish Updates]
- Wait for the [Publish Updates] button to change to Published
