Termly’s ExpressionEngine add-on makes it easy to install and manage Termly features directly from your ExpressionEngine dashboard. Once you connect your Termly account, you’ll be able to scan your site for cookies, install a consent banner, and enable Auto Blocker, all using the add-on.

Go to your ExpressionEngine Control Panel and click Developer > Add-Ons.
