Verify your domain

Before a banner goes live and the scanner visits a site, CookieDoo checks that the domain is yours. Open the domain in the portal and choose any one of these methods, then select Check.

DNS TXT record (works before the site is live)

Section titled “DNS TXT record (works before the site is live)”

At your DNS provider, add a TXT record:

Type Name Value
TXT @ (the domain itself) cookiedoo-verification=… as shown in the portal

Many providers write the main domain as @. A new record can take from a few minutes to a few hours to become visible. DNS is checked first.

Add this tag to the <head> of your home page:

<meta name="cookiedoo-verification" content="…">

If the snippet with your domain’s data-cbid is already on the home page, that is enough.

The DNS record of the domain, then the home page at https://example.com/, then https://www.example.com/. The home page must answer over HTTPS. If the check fails, make sure the page is public (no password, no maintenance page) and that the tag or snippet is in the HTML the server sends, not added later by another script.
