How to Transfer a Site?

Last updated on August 20, 2024

Note

  • Account owner permission is required to transfer sites.
  • Transferring sites between normal and agency accounts is not possible.

CookieYes allows you to transfer a Site from one organization to another within your account or another user’s account (with separate billing). When transferring to another user’s account, you should have admin or editing access to the destination organization. Transferring sites does not result in any data loss.

Step 1:From the CookieYes Dashboard, navigate to the Profile icon in the top-right corner and click Organizations & Sites from the drop-down.

Step 4:Completing the Site Transfer Process.

Between Organizations of the Same Account

If the transfer occurs between organizations within your account, the process will complete immediately after Step 3.

Between Organizations of Different Accounts

If the destination organization belongs to a different CookieYes user account, you must complete additional steps:

  1. The owner of the destination organization will receive an email with a Review Transfer Request button and an alternative link.
  2.  To proceed, the owner must either click the button or copy and paste the link into their browser.
  3. On the displayed page, click the Accept Transfer button.
  4. For paid site transfers, the process concludes at this point.

  5. However, if transferring a free site to an organization that already has a free site, you must select a paid plan for the new site to complete the transfer.

Transferring sites between organizations does not result in any data loss, regardless of whether the organizations belong to the same account or different accounts.
