How to connect CookieYes to a Turbosite website
CookieYes is a popular alternative to Cookiebot. It provides a cookie banner for compliance with GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and other laws. A strong competitive advantage is its generous free plan for low-traffic websites. Paid plans start at $10/month. Installation takes 5–10 minutes.

⚠️ Check for updates: The CookieYes interface is updated frequently. If sections are named differently, look for “Installation”, “Site code”, or “Embed”.
Step 3. Insert the code into Turbosite
The CookieYes script must load before all other scripts on the site to correctly manage consent.
-
Open your website in Turbosite.
-
Go to Site Settings → Integrations → HTML code in
<head>(this is a service part of the page — visitors do not see it, but scripts from there are loaded when the site is opened).
- Paste the CookieYes script at the very beginning of the HTML code field, before all others.
- Save and publish.
Step 4. Verify that the banner is working
- Open your published site in incognito mode.
- The banner should appear at the bottom or side of the screen.
- Test the buttons: “Accept All”, “Reject”, “Settings” — they should all work.
- Data will appear in CookieYes → Consent Log after a few hours.
