Cookie Blocking

Block cookie consent banners from appearing in your screenshots.

Plan Requirement

Cookie blocking requires a Starter plan or higher.

Usage

Set blockCookies=true to automatically dismiss cookie consent popups:

curl "https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&blockCookies=true" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -o clean.png

How It Works

When blockCookies is enabled, the renderer injects CSS and JavaScript to hide and dismiss common cookie consent banners before taking the screenshot. It targets well-known consent frameworks and their selectors.

Targeted Selectors

The following cookie consent frameworks are automatically blocked:

Framework	Selectors
CookieBot	#CybotCookiebotDialog, #CybotCookiebotDialogBodyUnderlay
OneTrust	#onetrust-banner-sdk, #onetrust-consent-sdk, .onetrust-pc-dark-filter
Cookie Notice	#cookie-notice, .cookie-notice-container
GDPR Cookie	#gdpr-cookie-notice, .gdpr-cookie-notice
Cookie Law	.cookie-law-info-bar, #cookie-law-info-bar
Quantcast	.qc-cmp-showing, #qcCmpUi
Generic	[class*="cookie-banner"], [class*="cookie-consent"], [id*="cookie-popup"]

JavaScript Example

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: 'https://example.com',
  blockCookies: 'true',
  format: 'webp',
})

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.urlpix.com/v1/screenshot?${params}`,
  { headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'sk_live_YOUR_KEY' } }
)

Tips

• Combine with delay if the consent banner loads after the initial page render
• Some sites use custom cookie implementations that may not be caught by the default selectors
• Use customCSS (Pro+) to target site-specific cookie banners not covered by the defaults
