Global banner
Used to communicate important information on throughout GOV.UK.
When to use this component
The global banner is activated in the following event:
- General election
- Special topic that Number 10 wants us to promote
How it works
A site-wide (global) banner can be activated to convey important information on GOV.UK which is not deemed emergency-level information. Unlike the emergency banner, we show a user the global banner no more than 3 times, by storing the view count in a cookie.
