What happens after a visitor clicks Acknowledge in the DPDP Consent widget?

The Acknowledge button lets a visitor dismiss the DPDP Consent widget after reading your notice. On the live website, Poper remembers that acknowledgement in that visitor's browser for this specific widget.

DPDP Consent widget text menu settings

1 Text Menu contains the visitor-facing button settings. 2 Close Button controls whether visitors can acknowledge and hide the banner. 3 Button Text changes the label shown on the dismiss action.

When to keep Acknowledge enabled

Keep the close button enabled when your DPDP banner is an informational notice and visitors should be able to dismiss it after reading. The default label is Acknowledge, but you can use another clear label if it matches your site wording.

What gets saved after the click

When a visitor clicks the acknowledge button on the live website, the DPDP Consent widget stores that acknowledgement in the visitor's browser. The banner then stays hidden for that visitor on that browser.

The acknowledgement is personal to that browser. It does not hide the banner for other visitors, and it does not change your widget settings inside Poper.

How to test the first-time view again

If you already clicked Acknowledge while testing, open the site in a private window, use another browser, or clear the site's browser storage. Then reload the page to see the DPDP Consent widget as a first-time visitor would.

  • If the close button is turned off, visitors will not have that acknowledge action.

  • If the banner keeps appearing in tests, make sure you are testing the live widget rather than only the editor preview.

  • If a visitor clears browser storage or switches devices, the banner may appear again.
