This guide shows you how to add the Kukie.io cookie consent banner to your MODX Revolution website by editing your base template.
Prerequisite: You need a Kukie.io account and at least one site added. If you haven't done this yet, follow Create Your Account & Add Your First Site first.
Step 1: Get Your Embed Code
Log in to your Kukie.io dashboard, navigate to your site, and copy the embed code from the Setup tab. It looks like this:
<script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script>Replace YOUR-SITE-KEY with the actual site key shown in your dashboard.
Step 2: Add the Script to MODX
- In the MODX Manager, go to Elements → Templates
- Open your base template (often called BaseTemplate or the template used by most of your pages)
- Find the
<head>section and add the Kukie.io embed code immediately after the opening<head>tag:<script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script> - Click Save
Multiple templates? If your MODX site uses multiple templates, either add the script to each template's
<head>, or create a chunk (e.g.,kukieScript) with the script tag and include it with[[$kukieScript]]in each template.
Step 3: Verify the Installation
Visit your website in a new browser window (or incognito/private mode). You should see the Kukie.io consent banner appear. If it does not show, check the following:
- Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and look for the script in the Network tab — it should load with a
200status - Check the Console tab for any JavaScript errors
- Make sure you published/saved your changes in MODX
- Clear any platform-level cache if applicable
