Cookie Banner

Definitions

1. A banner or pop-up on a website asking users to accept, reject, or manage cookie and tracking preferences. In web culture cookie banners are associated with privacy regulation, dark patterns, and universal user annoyance.

   In plain English: A website pop-up that asks about cookie and tracking consent.

   Example: "The redesign removed the manipulative color tricks from the cookie banner after legal and design agreed that consent should be real, not nudged."
