# Quickstart

> Get started with Katla in a few minutes using the web app or CLI.

## Prerequisites

* A Katla account at [katla.app](https://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`).

You'll receive a verification token and can choose one of two verification methods:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Meta tag">
    Add this tag inside the `<head>` of your homepage:

    ```html theme={null}
    <meta name="katla-verification" content="your-token-here" />
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="DNS record">
    Add a TXT record to your domain's DNS settings:

    | Type | Name                  | Value             |
    | ---- | --------------------- | ----------------- |
    | TXT  | `_katla-verification` | `your-token-here` |
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Step 2: Verify ownership

Click **Verify** in the dashboard. Katla will check for your token and confirm ownership.

<Note>
  DNS changes can take a few minutes to propagate. If verification fails, wait and try again.
</Note>

## Step 3: Run your first scan

Once verified, 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.

## Step 4: Install the consent widget

Add the Katla script to your website to start collecting visitor consent:

```html theme={null}
<script src="https://dist.katla.app/{your-site-id}.js"></script>
```

You can find your site ID and the full embed code in the **Widget** section of your site settings.

The widget will automatically:

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

## Next steps

* [Customize the widget](/widget) appearance and behavior
