Up and running,
step by step.

Add your site

Create the site in the Velo console. It gets a site id — lowercase letters, numbers and dashes — and a snippet generated just for it. One account holds every site you run, each with its own banner, regions and log.

Drop in the snippet

One line, placed before your analytics and advertising tags. It loads without blocking your page, and it still sets the Consent Mode default — everything denied except security — the instant it runs, so nothing fires before the visitor decides.

Running everything through Google Tag Manager instead? Import the Velo template and a small bridge forwards each consent decision into the data layer — a GTM install and a direct install behave identically. See the GTM guide.

Verify from real traffic

Verification is not a box you tick. The console polls for the first real signal from your site — the banner loading, or a consent decision being recorded — and flips to installed the moment one arrives. Remove the snippet and the status flips back by itself. There is nothing to fake.

Scan your site

Run the scan from the console. It crawls your pages twice — once as a visitor who has not consented, once after Accept all — and lists every cookie, storage key and script it finds, flagging anything that ran before it should have. A before and after picture of your own site, not a generic report.
