Account Setup

Configure your profile, team, and security settings.

Profile Settings

Navigate to Settings → Profile to update your account information:

  • Name and company - Used in invoices, compliance reports, and team communications.
  • Email address - Your login email. Changing this requires re-verification.
  • Time zone - Affects how timestamps are displayed in analytics and consent records.

Password Security

Cookiewise enforces strong password requirements:

  • Minimum 12 characters
  • At least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character
  • Cannot reuse your last 5 passwords

After 5 failed login attempts, your account is temporarily locked for 15 minutes.

API Keys

API keys allow programmatic access to the Cookiewise API. To create one:

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click Create Key
  3. Copy the key immediately - it's shown only once
  4. Store it securely (environment variable, secrets manager)
Security Warning

Never expose API keys in client-side code, Git repositories, or public URLs. Rotate keys immediately if compromised.

Webhooks

Webhooks let Cookiewise notify your systems when events occur. Configure them under Settings → Webhooks. Supported events include:

  • consent.created - A new consent record is created
  • consent.updated - A user updates their consent preferences
  • scan.completed - A cookie scan finishes
  • cookie.discovered - A new cookie is found during scanning

Billing & Subscription

Manage your subscription under Settings → Billing:

  • View current plan and usage
  • Upgrade or downgrade plans
  • Update payment method
  • Download invoices
  • Cancel subscription
