Website Settings

Website Settings control the technical infrastructure behind your site — how visitors reach it, how search engines treat it, how cookies and privacy are handled, and how analytics data flows back to you. Think of it as the control panel for everything that happens behind the scenes.

The Domains tab controls where your website lives on the internet — the exact addresses visitors type into their browsers to find you. Every Giant Context project automatically receives a generated domain (like your-app-slug.giantcontext.com), but you can also connect your own custom domains here. It is highly recommended to set up your custom domain early, as switching domains after your site is live can temporarily impact your search engine rankings.

Every project in Giant Context automatically receives a generated domain—typically formatted as your-app-slug.giantcontext.com. This default address is instantly active and serves as your site's permanent home on the web, ensuring your project remains accessible even before you configure a custom domain.

Every project in Giant Context receives an automatically generated domain (like your-app-slug.giantcontext.com). While this works instantly for testing and development, custom domains allow you to connect your own branded web address (like yourcompany.com). We highly recommend configuring your custom domain early in the process. Switching domains after your site goes live can temporarily disrupt your search engine rankings.

The Design tab is where you assign a visual identity to your website. Brandings are managed at the project level and contain your core design tokens—colors, typography, and logos. Selecting a branding configuration here instantly applies those styles across your entire website, ensuring a consistent experience for your visitors. If the dropdown is empty, you'll need to set up a branding profile in your project settings first.

The Cookies tab serves as your privacy compliance center. Here, you control the consent banner and manage how visitor consent is handled—essential for meeting GDPR and CCPA requirements. While cookies required for basic functionality are always active to ensure your site works properly, you can configure how statistics cookies and other tracking methods are presented to your visitors.

To manage how your site handles visitor privacy and consent, navigate to the Cookies tab. Here, you can activate the Enable Cookie Banner toggle to display a compliance notice to your visitors. Once enabled, you can personalize the messaging to fit your brand by customizing the Banner Title and Banner Description. This ensures your audience understands what data is being collected—like statistics cookies used for analytics—while keeping the experience seamless and professional.

Ensure compliance with privacy regulations by linking your cookie consent banner directly to your site's policy documents. Use the dropdown menus in the Cookies settings to select your dedicated privacy policy and cookie policy from your existing Website Pages.

Enable the Auto-detect Region toggle to intelligently display your cookie banner only when required by local privacy laws. Instead of interrupting every visitor, this setting ensures compliance by targeting users in regulated areas like the European Union, the United Kingdom, and California, while providing a frictionless browsing experience for everyone else.

The Details tab provides a read-only snapshot of your website's core technical identifiers. Here, you'll find your site's unique ID, slug, and exact timestamps for when it was created and last updated. While you can't edit this information, it's essential for troubleshooting or building custom integrations with the Giant Context API.
