In order to do add the cookie manager panel to your website you must add this to your templates:
Right after the opening the <head>
tag
{{craft.cookiemng.consentTemplate(currentSite.handle)|raw}}
Right before closing the <body/>
tag
{{ craft.cookiemng.render(currentSite.handle,true|false)|raw }}
THe second parameter defines if the popup should be hidden when the user access the "Read More" link. When 'true' the plugin will check if the current requested url matches the url pattern from the "read more" page, which is usually a privacy policy page, and hide the popup automatically (so users can properly read it).
This is a mandatory feature and should be available for users to change their preferences at any time. You can trigger it via javascript by calling:
cm_displaySettings();
