Managing cookie banners at a restaurant
12 Sep 2024
How a restaurant deals with cookie banners — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: HTTP bookmarks after a forced HTTPS move. cookie banners slows the page for a restaurant.
Before you touch cookie banners, take a screenshot of the current state. Half of our emergency calls come from people who cannot remember what was there before the change.
After fixing cookie banners, we added a monitoring alert. If the record changes or the certificate approaches expiry, both we and a restaurant get an email. No surprises.
Related work on this site follows the same principle: one job, a real inbox, no theatre. a restaurant did not need four analytics dashboards to know that Tuesdays are slow.
If the hours on Google disagree with the site, people trust Google and then arrive angry. cookie banners will not fix that. The hours page will.
Instead of migrating cookie banners all at once, we ran both configurations in parallel for a week. The switch happened on a Wednesday morning — the quietest traffic window.
