How do I set my cookie preferences in the cookie banner?

The banner appears on any page hosted on app.amilia.com and allows users on the Amilia website to set their cookies preferences. Once users 'Customize' or 'Accept all', their choice is saved, and the banner won't appear again until the cookies expire, or the user clears their cookie cache.

The banner stays on the page until a user clicks to Customize or Accept all.

  • The Accept all button allows users to consent to all cookies (Essential, Functionality, and Tracking & Performance).

  • The Customize button allows users to toggle consent for Functionality and Tracking & Performance cookies. Essential cookies are pre-selected by default because they are necessary for the website to function properly.
