Export and import settings

Set up ClearCrumb once, then copy the same banner, rules and services to another site with one file. Useful for agencies, for staging to live, and as a backup before big changes.

Export

  1. Open the ClearCrumb Dashboard and scroll to Export and import settings.
  2. Click Export settings. Your browser saves a small .json file.

Import

  1. On the other site, open the same card and click Import settings….
  2. Choose the file. ClearCrumb shows what it will change.
  3. Confirm with Import.

What is in the file

Copied Not copied
Banner layout, style, colours and texts; region rules and GPC; Consent Mode settings; your services and their cookies. The cookie policy page address and the setup status, because they belong to each site. Consent records are never in the file.

The import only accepts files exported by ClearCrumb. A file from another plugin is refused; to move from Complianz, CookieYes or Cookiebot use Import from other plugins.

From the command line

The consent log can be exported with WP-CLI: wp clearcrumb log export –format=csv. See Hooks & WP-CLI.
