Quickstart - Katla

Prerequisites

A Katla account at katla.app
A website you own or control

Step 1: Add your domain

After signing in, go to your team dashboard and add your domain (e.g. example.com). There is nothing to put in DNS first - the domain is ready to use as soon as you add it.

Mistyped it? Open the site’s Settings and change the domain there. Scans and consent records stay with the site.

Step 2: Run your first scan

Click Scan to start a cookie scan. Katla will crawl your site and detect all cookies being set. When the scan completes, you’ll see every cookie organized by category. Copy the tag from Install → Widget in your dashboard and paste it before </head>:

<script>(function(){"use strict";var i=document.currentScript,…})();</script>

That is the consent loader, pasted inline rather than linked - about a kilobyte, and no request before the cookie guard runs. See the widget guide for the linked alternative and for self-hosting. The widget will automatically:

Display a consent dialog to new visitors
Block non-consented cookies from being set
Record consent preferences
