How to show the banner on specific pages (New Version)
Overview
In the New Banner, you can control where the consent banner appears by adding path rules to the Start hidden for the following paths field.
This setting replaces older visibility options such as showing the banner only on the homepage or hiding it on selected pages. Instead of using separate controls, you can manage banner visibility from one flexible field.
When a visitor opens a page that matches one of the configured paths or patterns, the banner starts hidden on that page.
Hiding the banner does not disable consent enforcement. Consent behavior still follows the consent model configured for your store.
Where to find the setting
- Open the Pandectes GDPR Compliance app.
- Go to Settings > Banner.
- Open the Advanced tab.
- Find the Visibility section.
- Locate Start hidden for the following paths.
Enter one path or pattern per line. Regular expressions are supported.
How path matching works
The setting checks the path part of the store URL.
For example, in this URL:
https://example.com/products/sample-productThe path is:
/products/sample-productUse paths such as:
/products/sample-productDo not enter the full URL unless specifically instructed.
Common examples
The app also includes examples under the Show examples of usage link next to the field.
Hide the banner on the privacy policy page
Use this when you do not want the banner to appear on a specific page, such as your privacy policy page.
/policies/privacy-policyEnter the path exactly as it appears in your store URL.
Hide the banner on an Impressum page
/pages/impressumThis is useful if your store uses an Impressum or imprint page and you want visitors to access that page without the banner covering the content.
Hide the banner on all product pages
^/products/This hides the banner on every page where the path starts with /products/.
Examples matched by this rule:
/products/sample-product/products/blue-shirt/products/example-product?variant=123
Hide the banner on all collection pages
^/collections/This hides the banner on every page where the path starts with /collections/.
Hide the banner only on the homepage
^/$This rule hides the banner only on the root homepage path /.
The ^ means the start of the path, and `|| This article applies to the New Banner (v5+). If you are using the Legacy Banner, see How to show the banner on specific pages (Legacy Version).

Hide the banner only on the homepage
^/$This rule hides the banner only on the root homepage path /.
The ^ means the start of the path, and means the end of the path. Together, matches only /.
Show the banner only on the homepage
Because this field controls where the banner starts hidden, showing the banner only on the homepage means hiding it everywhere except the homepage.
Use:
^/(?!$).+This pattern matches all paths except /.
Examples hidden by this rule:
/products/sample-product/collections/all/pages/contact/policies/privacy-policy
The homepage path / is not matched, so the banner can still appear there.
Show the banner only on the homepage, including homepage URLs with search parameters
If your store uses homepage URLs with search parameters, such as /?ref=email or /?utm_source=newsletter, use:
^/(?!$|\?).+This keeps the banner visible on:
//?ref=email/?utm_source=newsletter
It hides the banner on other paths, such as:
/products/sample-product/collections/all/pages/contact?ref=email
Hide the banner on multiple pages
Add each path or pattern on a separate line.
For example:
/policies/privacy-policy
/pages/impressum
/pages/contact
The banner starts hidden when the visitor lands on any matching path.
Important note about consent behavior
Hiding the banner on a page does not disable consent enforcement.
If a visitor lands on a hidden page without previously giving consent, the default behavior of your selected consent model still applies.
For example, if your store uses a strict opt-in model, only strictly necessary cookies should run until the visitor gives consent on a page where the banner is shown.
Tips for writing path rules
- Use one path or pattern per line.
- Use exact paths for single pages.
- Use regular expressions for groups of pages.
- Avoid full URLs.
- Test important paths after saving your changes.
- Keep rules as simple as possible to avoid unexpected matches.

Summary
Use Start hidden for the following paths to control where the New Banner starts hidden. Add exact paths for individual pages, or use regular expressions for groups of pages. This setting changes banner visibility only; it does not turn off consent enforcement.
