Set block_cookie_banners=true in your ScreenshotOne request. It is the built-in option for cookie banners, GDPR overlay windows, and other privacy notices; explicitly include it because its documented default for URL captures is false. If it misses a particular banner, target that element with hide_selectors.
Enable ScreenshotOne’s cookie-banner blocker
Add the option to your ScreenshotOne request URL:
https://api.screenshotone.com/take?url=https://example.com&block_cookie_banners=true&access_key=<your access key>Replace https://example.com with the page you want to capture and provide your access key. This is the documented request shape; the result depends on the page and was not live-tested for this guide. ScreenshotOne documents block_cookie_banners as covering cookie banners, GDPR overlays, and other privacy-related notices, and says it defaults to false when url is set. See Screenshot Options.
Hide a specific banner with a CSS selector
If the built-in blocker leaves a particular banner visible, use hide_selectors with a selector for that element. For example:
https://api.screenshotone.com/take?url=https://example.com&hide_selectors=.cookie-banner&access_key=<your access key>.cookie-banner is illustrative, not a selector guaranteed to match your target page. Inspect the page’s markup or use your browser’s developer tools to identify the banner’s selector, then substitute it. ScreenshotOne allows multiple selectors; matching elements are hidden by setting their display style to none !important. See Hide elements.

Choose the right approach
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
block_cookie_banners=true |
Common consent banners and privacy overlays without identifying their markup. | Broad, automatic handling may not remove every site-specific banner. |
hide_selectors |
A known, specific element that the built-in blocker misses. | Requires a correct selector; a broad selector can hide page content you wanted to keep. |
Troubleshoot banners that remain or content that disappears
- The banner is still visible: Check that the request includes
block_cookie_banners=true. If it does, inspect the element and try a specifichide_selectorsvalue. - Your selector hides the wrong content: Make it more specific and verify it matches only the banner. ScreenshotOne hides every element matching each supplied selector.
- The built-in blocker is not precise enough: ScreenshotOne also documents
block_banners_by_heuristics=trueas an alternative set of techniques. Its documentation warns that the screenshot may be less precise with this option, so inspect the output before relying on it. Details: Screenshot Options. - Captures are slower than expected: Banner and ad blocking can affect rendering performance because the service listens for requests and uses techniques and heuristics to hide content. If the page has no banners, or you are capturing a site you control, disable blockers you do not need. See ScreenshotOne’s performance guide.
Account for full-page capture behavior
For a full-page screenshot, ScreenshotOne’s guide demonstrates combining block_cookie_banners=true with full-page capture options. Full-page rendering can still produce issues unrelated to the banner: some content appears only after scrolling, sticky elements may repeat across sections, and animations or galleries can differ between sections. Inspect the resulting image and adjust delay or scrolling settings as needed. See Full-page screenshots.
Or skip the browser setup
ScreenshotNeo offers a screenshot API and MCP server for developers. A single GET request captures a page; for example, save this cURL call as shot.webp:
curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webpSee the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for request options. ScreenshotNeo removes cookie banners, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture, and each removal step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed; response headers indicate the page verdict and billing status. Its MCP server provides take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf for AI agents and MCP clients. The Free plan includes 1,000 screenshots per month with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000.
