The following steps will guide you through how to experience your website when cookies are turned off by a the OneTrust cookie banner. For more information about the OneTrust cookie banner, follow this link. Visitors to your site may decide to reject all cookies and thus possibly limit some of the tools you as a site owner may have installed on your site. When these cookies are limited, it can change the user experience. The steps below can help you to see what that experience is like by turning off the cookies.

  1. In your browser of choice, you will need to open a new incognito or private window. Ensure you do not already have an incognito or private window open already, and if you do please close all of those windows before proceeding.
  2. To open a new incognito or private window 
    • With Chrome, Ctrl+Shift+N
    • With Edge, Ctrl+Shift+N
    • With Firefox open, Ctrl+Shift+P
    • With Safari, ⌘ + Shift + N
  3. Next open your website within that private window (e.g., https://www.ucsf.edu)
  4. The Cookie banner should appear, and click "reject all."
  5. Now all the cookies that OneTrust can control are deactivated. You can click around your website to see what that experience is like for visitors who choose to reject cookies. If you have analytics platforms installed on your site, they will not collect data on your visitor as the cookie banner is designed to honor their privacy choice.
