# Cookie Provider Category

> Create cookie consent categories and maintain them in multiple languages.

Cookie categories group the [cookie providers](/docs/en/dynamic-content/user-guide/cookie-anbieter) in the consent banner of your website, e.g. Essential, Statistics, Marketing or External Media. In the banner, visitors decide per category whether they consent. Each category has a code, a name and a description text that can be translated per language.

## Category List

Open **Security & Privacy → Cookie Provider Category**. For each entry, the list shows the **Category Name** and the **Category Code** (e.g. Marketing with the code `marketing` or External Media with `external_media`). Using the toolbar, create a category with **+ New**, open it with **Edit** (or double-click) and remove it with **Delete**.

## Create a Category

Click **+ New** and fill in the **General** section:

* **Category Code**: Unique technical identifier (up to 45 characters), e.g. `marketing`
* **Category Name**: Display name in the banner (up to 45 characters)
* **Category Text**: Description that explains the category to visitors (up to 500 characters)

Save via **Save** or **Save and close**.

## Edit and Translate a Category

Open a category by double-clicking or via **Edit**. In addition to the **General** section (code, name, text in the default language), there is the **Edit translations** section.

The translation list shows the language code and category name for each stored language. Using the toolbar, create a translation with **+ New**, edit it or delete it.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Add translation" icon="language">
    In the **Add translation** dialog, you specify:

    * **Locale Code**: Language of the translation, via dropdown (e.g. `en-GB`, `fr-FR`)
    * **Category Name**: Name in the selected language (up to 45 characters)
    * **Category Text**: Description in the selected language (up to 500 characters)
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  Maintain a translation for every language of your website so that the cookie banner appears in their language for all visitors.
