Set up and manage consent
Set up Shopify to obtain user consent
To capture valuable insights while protecting user privacy, you need to collect consent from your website users. We recommend you use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) or work with your Content Management System (CMS) to collect consent and send it to Google.
To set up consent collection via your CMP:
- Use a CMP that integrates with Shopify’s Customer Privacy API.
- Refer to your CMP’s instructions for any necessary configuration details.
If you’re using the Google & YouTube app for conversion tracking and have set up your CMP, consent mode should work automatically.
Enable Shopify's cookie banner
Shopify offers a built-in cookie banner you can use as a starting point. To enable it, follow these instructions:
- Sign in to your Shopify account.
- Click Settings at the bottom of the page menu on the left.
- Click Customer privacy on the menu.
- Open the “Cookie banner” section and click Set up banner.
- Confirm your appearance and position preferences, then click Activate cookie banner.
- Confirm which regions the banner should appear in and click Activate.
After you’ve enabled your consent banner, consent mode is enabled automatically.
