Turn on the Cookie/Privacy Policy pop-up in Optimizely Configured Commerce for new site customers to review and accept your cookie and/or privacy policy. Insert content that meets applicable compliance and privacy laws. For example, include an explanation of what information you are collecting and how you use it, or send customers to a page that describes the cookies and how to enable/disable them appropriately.

This pop-up has an **Accept Cookies** button that closes it and sets the cookie. Once the cookie is set, the pop-up does not show on other site pages. There is also a close button that does not set the cookie when customers click it, and the pop-up will continue to display on other site pages.

## Turn on the cookie/privacy policy pop-up setting

1. Go to **Administration > Settings** in the Admin Console.
2. Search for **Enable Cookie/Privacy Policy Pop-Up**.
