Summary

The Confluence footer does take up a decent amount of room, so you might desire to make it smaller. The Atlassian Customer Agreement requires attribution, but only in the following format:

“Powered by Atlassian,” which must in every case include a hyperlink to http://www.atlassian.com, and which must be in the same format as delivered in the Software.

Solution

Remove the Atlassian logo, and all spacing around the required text by performing the following steps:

  1. Go the Confluence Administration page (via the cog)

  2. Go to Custom HTML

  3. Click the Edit button

  4. Paste the following into the section labelled "At end of the HEAD”

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 <style> #footer .footer-body { margin:0; padding:0; min-height:0; } #footer-logo { display: none !important; } </style> 
  5. Click Save and go to any Confluence page to verify the footer is now smaller
