Step 1. Change your default description

Navigate to the Cookies tab in your website settings.

As we integrated auto translation of cookie descriptions first we would need to put in your default description for the cookie. You can write it in your native language, does not need to be English, although that would work great.

After saving the cookie it has been translated in all the languages we offer.
