Cookie consent on Shopify

Consent before non-essential cookies and trackers.

Native coverage

Partial Shopify has a built-in customer-privacy banner tied to its consent API, but third-party scripts only honour it if they are wired to that API. Most stores add a consent app to cover pixels and embeds.

What the rule requires

Before a store loads analytics, advertising pixels, embedded video or any other non-essential script, the visitor has to agree, and refusing must be as easy as accepting. The consent record has to be kept. This is the most visible EU rule on any store, which is why it is also the one with the largest app market.

Who it binds: Every website that sets non-essential cookies or reads device storage for visitors in the EU, regardless of where the operator sits.
