How to add a Cookie Notice to Blogger Sites for EU GDPR Compliance

European Union (EU) GDPR laws require you to give EU visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.

Google now requires you to make a notification for your blogger.com site.
You are responsible for confirming this notice actually works for your blog, and that it displays. If you employ other cookies, for example by adding third party features, this notice may not work for you. If you include functionality from other providers there may be extra information collected from your users. 


  • Google has added the following code option to all bloggers sites. Why is this not a Widget?

    Change this notice, add a SCRIPT tag with 'cookieOptions = {...};' in the HEAD tag with values for any of msg, close, learn and link.

  • So Google has done the work and added a pop-up notice for your blogger website for countries that require it.

  1. Thanks a lot for the info, very helpful.

    Just one quick question: is it not better to use the privacy policy URL
    https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US of google instead of the “support answer” you linked above?

    I read in another google page as well, they claim to already provide to the visitorr of your website notification of that...i guess it’s still necessary to use a cookies pop up service as the one you suggest (osano), right?
