FAQ
Onsite notifications do not require cookie consent, as they do not rely on cookies to be displayed.
They are shown based on session data available during the user’s visit (e.g., referrer, URL, session duration), which does not involve storing or accessing information on the user's device - the key factor in requiring cookie consent under GDPR.
However, if you plan to use additional tracking (e.g., advanced analytics, remarketing, or connecting to user profiles), then cookie consent may be needed depending on your setup.

Both onsite and push notifications are powerful communication tools, but they serve different purposes and function in distinct ways. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | Onsite Notifications | Push Notifications |
| Visibility | Visible only while the user is actively browsing your website. | Appear even when the user is not on your website. |
| Opt-in Requirement | No opt-in required — shown to 100% of website visitors. | Require user opt-in through the browser. |
| Targeting Options | Based on session behavior (URL visited, time on site, referrer, language, device type, etc.). | Based on subscriber data (segmentation by interest, location, behavior, etc.). |
| Design Customization | Fully customizable layout: icons, images, copy, and buttons. | Limited by browser design (title, message, image, icon, action buttons). |
| Use Cases | Promote current offers, upsell, guide navigation, drive form fills, or show personalized messages. | Send breaking news, abandoned cart reminders, price drops, promotions, or return-visit nudges. |
| Delivery Timing | Triggered in real time based on live visitor behavior. | Scheduled or triggered — delivered even when the user is offline (will appear once they’re online). |
| Reach | Reaches all visitors during their session. | Reaches only those who previously opted in. |
Use onsite notifications to engage all visitors in real time.
Use push notifications to maintain communication after they leave.
💡 Best results come from combining both: engage on-site and re-engage off-site!
Onsite notifications are subtle message boxes that appear within your website’s layout, typically in a corner or a dedicated notification center - Inbox. While they offer limited design customization, they blend naturally into the user experience, making them ideal for ongoing updates, product news, or personalized tips triggered by user behavior during a session. Pop-up notifications, on the other hand, offer full design flexibility - you can customize their size, layout, colors, and visuals. They’re perfect for capturing attention and driving conversions, such as collecting newsletter signups or promoting special offers.
That’s possible. You can implement only onsite notifications without enabling web push. If your goal is to engage all website visitors in real time - without requiring opt-ins - onsite notifications alone will work perfectly.
