Preconfigured settings

When you create a new domain in the CookieHub dashboard, you can choose from three preconfigured templates. These templates apply a legally sound setup that works out of the box and can be customized later.

Each template configures regional rules, banner behavior, and consent mechanisms for common compliance scenarios.
