 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.25.1] - 2026-10-20
+
+### Fixed
+
+- On mobile, the cookie consent banner now sits above the bottom navigation bar instead of being hidden behind it.
+- The floating help button moves up above the cookie consent banner while it is showing, so the banner no longer covers it.
+
 ## [1.25.0] - 2026-10-20
 
 ### Added
