Cookie banner for Ghost

Comply with GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2 on your Ghost site with a banner that really blocks scripts before consent and won't slow your site down.

What almost nobody tells you: Ghost makes it easy to add Analytics, but it doesn't block cookies on its own; you need a CMP to comply with GDPR.

How to install it on Ghost

  1. 1. Create your free banner in the configurator and copy the snippet.
  2. 2. Go to Settings → Code injection and paste the snippet in the Site Header field so it loads across the whole site.
  3. 3. Done! The banner appears and Consent Mode v2 is active automatically.

Why Consentio and not just any free plugin

Frequently asked questions

Is a cookie banner mandatory on Ghost?

Yes. If your Ghost site uses non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) and gets EU visitors, GDPR requires prior consent. Also, since 2024 Google Consent Mode v2 is required to use Analytics or Ads in the EEA.

Does the Ghost banner slow the site down?

Heavy banners do hurt your Core Web Vitals. Consentio weighs under 8 KB and uses no external dependencies, so it doesn't affect your speed or your SEO.

Does Consentio block scripts before consent on Ghost?

Yes. By marking your third-party scripts with type="text/plain" data-consentio="category", Consentio prevents them from running until the user accepts, which is what GDPR actually requires.
