To enable your users set their own cookie preferences, you must use a third-party cookie consent service (CCS) to apply cookie consent options on your help center.
If you are using a theme from the Theme Marketplace, then it must have a Developer
license. For more information about theming, see Announcing Guide Theme Marketplace and Using Guide themes from the Zendesk Marketplace.
Note: If end
users choose to block cookies then they may have a degraded user

To set up a third party cookie consent service
- Choose a third-party cookie consent management platform, such as Cookiebot, TrustArc, or OneTrust and follow their instructions.
- In your Guide help center, click on the Customize design icon.
- On the Themes page, click Customize on the theme you want to add the cookie consent option to.
- On the page of the theme, click Edit code.
- Follow the instructions of the CCS and implement the Javascript snippet(s) that they provided. Instructions may vary between services, generally you must add the code within the header tags of the header.hbs template.
- Using the instructions of the CCS, configure the code to control all Guide
cookies, and local storage that is not listed as "Strictly necessary" on the
Zendesk cookie list.Note: (Advanced users) If you are editing your theme locally, then skip steps 1-5 and refer to Working on a theme locally for Guide Professional and Enterprise.

Nova Dawn: May I request you to add a reference to to Securiti's Consent Management platform as well?

Thank you.
Hi Nova Dawn
Please add Secuvy's Consent Solution to the list - https://secuvy.ai/universal-consent-management/
We just started using the consent service from ConsentManager.net. Though, their consent script seems to be overriding the Zendesk Widget (Classic) script entirely. Meaning that the widget is unavailable on our Guide.
In what ways do you troubleshoot these widget script issues using third-party consent service?
Hi David, thanks for writing in! It looks like you have submitted a conversation and a colleague replied. As always, you can reply to the conversation with any follow-up questions. Thank you!
Are any of those 3rd party tools capable of auto-blocking cookies that are set after filling a form, doing a search etc. until consent is given? Reading through OneTrust's documentation, those kind of cookies are not detected when doing a scan and therefore won't be blocked with their auto-blocking. Does anyone know of a way to go about this?
