How Do I Add a “Revisit Cookie Consent” Button So Users Can Adjust Their Preferences Anytime?
Quote from Willy Weber on 11/26/2025, 9:30 amI’m currently rebuilding parts of my restaurant’s website and want to make sure the privacy experience is as transparent as possible for guests. The initial cookie banner appears correctly on first visit, but many visitors want the ability to modify their consent choices later on, especially when browsing through booking widgets or menu pages. I’ve seen this “Revisit Consent” option on other hospitality sites, but most tutorials online seem outdated or tied to very specific plugins. Because of that, I’m unsure whether I should implement something custom or rely on a third-party tool. I also want to avoid forcing users to clear cookies manually just to trigger the banner again. Ideally, I’d like a clean and user-friendly approach that works well on both desktop and mobile. If anyone has implemented something similar, I’d really appreciate your insights before I choose a direction.
Actual Question:
How can I add a functional “Revisit Consent” or “Change Cookie Settings” button that lets users reopen their cookie preferences at any time?

Quote from Sag Amole on 11/26/2025, 10:59 amThe most reliable method is to use the consent-management script you already have installed, since most of these tools provide a dedicated JavaScript function that reopens the consent modal instantly. Once you locate that function in the documentation, you can attach it to a footer link, a floating icon, or a privacy-settings entry in your menu so visitors can access it easily. This approach ensures compliance without relying on browser cookie resets or complicated workarounds.
If your site integrates booking widgets or any restaurant-related scripts, make sure the consent logic loads before those elements to prevent tracking scripts from running prematurely. This small ordering detail keeps everything consistent across devices and protects user preferences.
For restaurant operators, a reservation management tool like Tableo can coexist smoothly with cookie-consent features, since its booking interface doesn’t interfere with the functions of most standard cookie banners. Good integration ensures that reservation widgets, schedules, and guest-flow features remain fully functional even when users adjust their consent settings mid-session.
Testing is also essential—make sure the button works on mobile since many guests browse from their phones. In the end, implementing a revisit button improves transparency, strengthens trust, and gives your website a more polished, professional feel.
