Cookie Banner for Bitrix (1C-Bitrix)

Last updated: September 9, 2026

1C-Bitrix sites usually either have no cookie banner at all, or a static "We use cookies" line with no checkboxes and no actual blocking — Bitrix has no built-in consent-management mechanism of its own. Below are two working ways to add a real banner that gates Yandex Metrica, ad pixels, and other trackers behind consent.

Option 1: via the site template (most reliable)

If you have file access (FTP or the admin panel's built-in editor), open header.php for the active template — /local/templates/your_template/header.php (or /bitrix/templates/... if the template isn't moved to local) — and add the tag right before the closing </head>, ahead of any analytics snippets:

<script
  src="https://api.cookiestack.dev/widget.js"
  data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
  async
></script>

This works the same way across "Site Management", on-premise Bitrix24, and custom templates — the code applies to every page using that template.

Option 2: through the admin panel, no file edits

If template edits aren't an option, check Settings → Product Settings → Developer Tools — some editions expose a free-form HTML field that Bitrix injects into every page before </head>. The exact location varies by edition and installed modules — if it's not there, use Option 1 or ask whoever maintains the site.

Gating trackers behind consent

A Yandex Metrica counter added via Bitrix's "Web Analytics" module (Settings → Web Analytics → Counters) runs independently of any cookie banner. The simplest fix is to disable it there and enable the Yandex Metrica integration in your Cookiestack domain settings instead — the widget initializes the counter itself, only after the visitor consents to "Statistics".

For any other manually embedded scripts (lead-capture widgets, callback widgets, ad pixels), add type="text/plain" and data-cookie-category="marketing" (or statistics / preferences) — Cookiestack activates them automatically once the visitor consents to that category. See the JavaScript API for details.
