Set up your privacy workspace.

The exact path from an empty account to a live, verified consent layer. Five steps, and the Velo console walks you through every one of them.

Five steps.
A setup you can verify.

Follow each step, then test accept, reject and preference changes on your live site.

  1. 01

    Add your site

    Add your website in the Velo console and copy its generated snippet. Free supports one site; Pro supports unlimited sites.

    Drop in the snippet

    Place the snippet before the analytics and advertising tags that need its consent defaults. For Google Tag Manager, use the Consent Initialization trigger. Configure consent checks for other tags and verify the order before publishing.

    Verify from real traffic

    Open your website and check that the console receives an installation signal. This confirms the snippet is communicating with Velo. Separately test acceptance, rejection and preference changes to verify your tags.

    Scan your site

    Run a scan from the console and review the cookies and trackers it detects. Check the categories before applying changes. A scan is a useful check, but it does not replace testing your site’s full visitor journey.

    Set your regions and go live

    Review the regional defaults for the markets you serve, including Brazil where relevant. Check banner wording and consent behaviour, then publish your verified configuration.
