Cookie Information Setup Guide
This guide helps you set up cookies correctly on your webshop so that you can use ViaAds. Setting up the ViaAds cookie is essential for your webshop to use the ViaAds marketing solution, so if you run into problems with this guide, or with anything else related to the material from ViaAds, contact Christian Engholm by phone on (+45) 51995555 or by email at cen@viabill.com.
This guide assumes that your webshop already uses Cookie Information as its cookie consent provider to manage your cookies. If you use another cookie consent provider, this guide does not apply.

It can take up to 10 minutes for the changes to take effect on the webshop. Please wait those 10 minutes before carrying out the next step of the guide, as behavioural data may otherwise be lost.

- Select the Languages & Settings tab
- There, select Push For Consent
- A pop-up opens with the text "Are you sure you want to push for consent" - click Show Consents
All visitors, regardless of whether they have given consent before, will now be asked to decide again on their next visit to the shop.
