Cookies page
Design notes
A previous DWP pattern had separate policy and details pages, which meant that:
- it was difficult to use the standard GOV.UK cookie banner without making changes
- users were asked for a generic consent before they had seen details of what they were consenting to
- once they had viewed the details of the individual cookies, they needed to go to a different page to change their preference
Having the consent mechanism and the cookie details on the same page addresses these issues, but there is a risk of the consent mechanism going unnoticed at the bottom of a long page.
To mitigate this our template uses details components to make better use of vertical space, but it is still possible that some users will not find the 'Save cookie settings' button or understand the function of the page. We are interested in any research that relates to this issue.
Could we improve this page?
