If the cookie consent banner continues to appear on every page after you have already given your consent in Webflow, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect cookie settings: Check your cookie settings within the Webflow Designer. Make sure that you have correctly set the expiration and persistence of the cookie. Additionally, double-check if the cookie is being properly stored and recognized in the client's browser.

  2. Cached Data: Sometimes, browsers can cache data, including cookies. This can cause the consent banner to reappear even after you have accepted it. To resolve this, you can try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Alternatively, you can view the website in an incognito or private browsing mode.

  3. Script Placement: Ensure that the JavaScript code for managing the cookie consent banner is placed correctly within your Webflow project. The script should be placed within the appropriate head or body tags of your HTML markup. If the script is not correctly placed, it may not function as intended.

  4. Conflicting Scripts: If you have other scripts or plugins on your website that interact with cookies, there could be a conflict causing the consent banner to reappear. Check if there are any conflicting scripts and try disabling them one by one to identify the culprit.

  5. Third-Party Services: If you are using third-party services or integrations on your website, such as analytics or marketing tools, they may have their own cookie-related settings. Make sure that these services are properly configured and that their cookie settings align with your desired behavior.

  6. Webflow Cache: Webflow itself may have a caching mechanism that causes the consent banner to reappear. You can try clearing the Webflow cache by appending ?clear_cache=true to the end of your website URL and refreshing the page.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the problem of the cookie consent banner reappearing on every page even after consenting in Webflow.
