Find your Configuration ID

The Configuration ID tells consent-widget.js which banner to load. It lives in the dashboard above the Header snippet.

Where it is

Step 1. Open the Client Trust Center

Sign in and open the site you are installing. Go to Banner Setup, then the Installation card.

Step 2. Copy the Configuration ID

The ID is the labeled field above the Header snippet, with a Copy control. It looks like a UUID, for example b1c1a44c-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

Step 3. Use the same ID in every install path

Head snippet, GTM widget tag, and any AI-builder prompt must use this exact value. If you manage more than one site, each site has its own ID.

How the snippet uses it

The Header snippet already includes the ID. Prefer copying the whole snippet. If you are building a GTM tag by hand, paste the ID into data-configuration-id:

<script src="https://www.sitetrust.com/consent-widget.js"
  data-configuration-id="YOUR_CONFIGURATION_ID">
</script>

The widget reads data-configuration-id from the script tag that loaded consent-widget.js. If that attribute is missing, the banner cannot fetch your public configuration (title, description, colors, tracker list, AI tools).

Head install vs GTM

  • Head install. Copy the Header snippet from Installation and paste it as the first script in <head>. The ID is already in the tag.
  • GTM. Create the Consent Default tag first, then the Consent Widget tag. Put the ID only on the widget tag. Full steps: Install via Google Tag Manager.

If the ID looks empty or wrong

  • Finish Banner Setup. The configuration is created when the banner is saved for that site.
  • Confirm you are on the correct site if the account has more than one domain.
  • Do not take an ID from another company's snippet, a screenshot, or a chatbot guess.
  • If Installation shows no ID, email wecare@sitetrust.com with the site URL.
