If you manage multiple sites in Kukie, the Copy and Paste Settings feature lets you configure one site exactly the way you want it, then duplicate that configuration to one or many other sites in seconds. This saves you from manually recreating banner designs, region rules, and integration settings on every new site you add.
What this feature does
Copy and Paste Settings takes a snapshot of a source site's configuration and applies it to one or more target sites. The snapshot includes the visual banner design, your custom banner texts in every language, region rules, and integration settings. You can also choose to add the cookies you entered by hand and the services you created. It does not touch the destination site's domain, scan history, or visitor consent records.
Typical use cases:
An agency setting up dozens of client sites with the same template
Testing changes on a staging site before applying them to production
Standardising the banner across multiple brand domains owned by the same organisation
What gets copied
The following are duplicated from the source site to the destination:
Banner appearance: layout, position, colours, fonts, logo, custom CSS, button styles, overlay settings
Banner texts: all languages you have configured, including titles, descriptions, button labels, and links
Region rules: region-specific consent behaviour for EU, US, and other regions
Integrations: Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft UET Consent Mode, Microsoft Clarity, and Amazon Consent Signal
Scan frequency: how often Kukie automatically scans the destination site
You can also choose to add these when you paste:
Manually added cookies: the cookies you added by hand in Cookies & Scripts
Services you created: services added in Cookies & Scripts or in the Custom services card of the Banner Editor, with their blocking domains
Add your manually added cookies and services
Some cookies never show up in a scan. Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising set some cookies only when a visitor arrives from an ad click (for example _gcl_aw and _uetmsclkid), so a scanner visiting the site does not see them. If you add these by hand on a template site, you can carry them to every new site when you paste.
The paste dialog shows an Also add section when the copied site has manually added cookies or services you created. Select Manually added cookies or Services you created (or both) before you confirm. Both are off unless you select them.
What happens on the destination site:
Nothing is removed. The copied cookies and services are added to the ones the site already has.
A cookie the destination already has is updated to the copied category, description and duration. Cookies on your own domain match by name; cookies on another company's domain (for example
MUIDon.bing.com) match by name and domain.Cookies on your own domain are copied without a domain. A cookie the source site sets on its own domain would be wrong on the destination, so it is added without one. When a scan of the destination finds the cookie, it fills in the destination's own domain.
A service with the same identifier (its slug) is updated, and its blocking domains are combined with the ones it already had.
Cookies and services keep their category. They go into the destination's category of the same kind (Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Marketing, or a custom category with the same slug). If the destination has no matching category, the cookie or service is not copied and the result message names it.
Blocking on the destination is never switched off. If a service on the destination already blocks domains, it keeps its consent setting and category even when the copied service is set differently, and the result message says so.
Blocking domains are checked again for the destination. A domain is not copied when it is the destination's own website, when another service on the destination already blocks it, or when the service would never block it (the service is marked as not needing consent, or its category is always allowed). The result message names each one with the reason. The limits of 10 domains per service and 20 per site still apply.
Not copied: services a scan found (the destination's own scan finds its own) and the scripts added to a service, because they usually carry the source site's account IDs.
The cookie list controls what your banner and cookie policy tell visitors. It does not decide what gets blocked: Google and Microsoft tags follow Consent Mode and the script blocking whether or not their cookies are listed.
What is not copied
Some data is intentionally left alone on the destination site, either because it is unique to that site or because it would create problems if duplicated:
Google Tag Manager settings are not copied because each site connects to its own GTM container.
Matomo settings are not copied because each site has its own Matomo site ID and tracker URL.
Cookie categories on the destination site stay as they are. Each site keeps its own category structure.
Cookies found by scans are not copied. After pasting settings to a new site, run a scan to detect that site's actual cookies. Cookies you added by hand can be added when you paste (see above).
Legal documents are generated per site with site-specific content and are not copied.
HTTP Consent Cookies setup is not copied because it requires DNS verification on each domain.
Visitor consent records are personal data and are never copied between sites.
Team members and invitations are not copied. Access control stays per site.
Scan history belongs to the original site and is not duplicated.
Copy settings from a source site
Go to Sites in your dashboard.
Find the site whose settings you want to use as the source.
Click the Actions menu on that site's card.
Select Copy settings.
A clipboard banner appears at the top of the Sites page showing which site the settings came from.
Tip: The clipboard is tied to your login session. If you log out, the clipboard is cleared. Copy again next time.
Paste settings to a single destination
Find the destination site on the Sites page.
Click its Actions menu.
Select Paste settings.
Read the confirmation dialog carefully. It tells you exactly what will be replaced on the destination.
To add your manually added cookies or the services you created, select them under Also add.
Click Paste settings to confirm.
The destination site's banner is updated immediately. Visitors will see the new banner within a few minutes once the CDN bundle refreshes.
Paste settings to multiple sites at once
Copy settings from the source site as described above.
On the Sites page, tick the checkbox on each destination site you want to update.
The bulk action bar appears at the top with the count of selected sites.
Click Paste settings to N sites.
Review the list in the confirmation dialog. The source site is automatically excluded if you accidentally selected it.
To add your manually added cookies or the services you created to every selected site, select them under Also add.
Click Paste to N sites to confirm.
Each site is updated in turn. If you do not have edit permission on a particular site (for example, because you are a viewer on a shared site), that site is skipped and listed in the result message.
Important: Pasting replaces the destination site's banner configuration, texts, and region rules. There is no automatic undo. Before pasting to a critical site, consider taking a copy of its current settings first by copying from it to another safe site.
Region rules and plan limits
If your plan limits how many custom region rules you can have per site (the default Rest of World rule never counts toward this limit), and the source site has more custom rules than the destination's plan allows, the extra custom rules are skipped during paste. The default rule is always kept, and custom rules are copied in the order they appear on the source site's Regions tab until the limit is reached. The warning message lists exactly which regions were skipped. Visitors from a skipped region fall back to the destination's default rule, so review its consent model afterwards to make sure it suits them.
Frequently asked questions
Does Copy and Paste include the embed code?
No. Each site has its own unique embed script tag. You install the script on each site individually. Copy and Paste only changes what the script shows to visitors, not how it is installed.
Does it copy the cookies my scanner has detected?
No. Detected cookies come from scanning each individual site. After pasting settings to a new site, run a scan on that site to detect its actual cookies and populate its cookie list. Cookies you added by hand on the source site can be added when you paste: select Manually added cookies in the paste dialog.
Can I copy from one organisation to another?
Yes, if you are a team member of both. The clipboard is tied to your login session, not to an organisation: copy the settings, switch to the other organisation, and paste. The destination organisation's plan must include Copy and Paste Settings, and you need edit permission on the destination site.
My destination site has different cookie categories. Will pasting overwrite them?
No. Cookie categories on the destination site are kept exactly as they are. Only the banner appearance, texts, region rules, and integrations are replaced. Cookies and services you choose to add go into the destination's matching category.
Can I paste to the same site I copied from?
No. The Paste settings option is automatically hidden on the source site to prevent accidental no-op operations. If the source site is in a bulk paste selection, it is silently skipped.
Why are Google Tag Manager and Matomo settings not copied?
These integrations connect to a specific container or instance that is unique to each site. Copying the GTM container ID or Matomo site ID from one site to another would point the destination to the wrong analytics account. You should configure these per site.
Troubleshooting
Copy settings is missing from the Actions menu: your current plan does not include Copy and Paste Settings. Upgrade in Billing to unlock the feature.
Paste settings is missing from the Actions menu: either your plan does not include the feature, or you have not copied any settings yet, or you are trying to paste to the source site itself.
The clipboard banner disappeared: the clipboard expires when you log out, and a clipboard copied before an update to this feature reads as empty. Copy again.
Some sites were skipped during bulk paste: you do not have edit permission on those sites. You need to be an editor, admin, or owner to paste to a site.
