Why Consentico

Compliance that doesn't cost you conversions.

Most cookie banners either leak data before consent (hurting compliance) or block everything by default (hurting your remarketing). Consentico does neither.

GDPR, CCPA, LGPD — covered

Pre-built templates for every major privacy regime. Geo-target so EU visitors see the banner and US visitors don't, or run one global posture if your legal team prefers.

Three-layer script blocking

Intercepts trackers via createElement override, MutationObserver, and the type=text/plain pattern. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Klaviyo — blocked until the visitor opts in.

Cookie scanner that finds the gaps

Crawls up to 500 pages of your storefront and reports every cookie set, every script loaded, and a 0–100 compliance score. Generates a per-cookie disclosure for the preferences modal automatically.

Google Consent Mode v2 native

Sets denied defaults at the earliest possible moment, then updates GCM signals when the visitor decides. Preserves modeled conversions in Google Ads without leaking pre-consent data.

8 languages, fully customizable

Auto-translate by visitor locale or lock a single language. Match your brand with banner colors, layout, position, and (on Business) custom CSS. Mobile-first by default.

Privacy-first analytics

We hash visitor IPs with a per-deployment salt and store nothing identifying. Shopify GDPR webhooks wired correctly so your data is purged on uninstall.

Frequently asked

Questions Shopify merchants ask before installing.

Do Shopify stores need a cookie consent banner?
If your store has any visitors from the EU, UK, or California, yes. GDPR (Article 5(3)) requires opt-in consent before non-essential cookies are set, and CCPA/CPRA requires a clear opt-out for the sale or sharing of personal information. Shopify's stock storefronts don't include a compliant banner — you have to install one.
Does Consentico work with Shopify Plus and headless / Hydrogen storefronts?
Yes for Plus — the theme app extension works the same way. For Hydrogen and other headless storefronts, the banner is delivered via a small JS snippet you embed in your root component; Google Consent Mode v2 and script blocking still work end-to-end.
Will the banner slow down my store?
No measurable impact on Core Web Vitals. The banner script is roughly 18 KB gzipped and loads from the Shopify app proxy, so it benefits from Shopify's CDN. We've optimised for LCP and CLS — the banner reserves its space before paint and never causes layout shift.
What's the difference between Consentico and CookieYes or Cookiebot?
Consentico is built specifically for Shopify (theme app extension, Shopify Customer Privacy API sync, Shopify-native billing). CookieYes and Cookiebot are general-purpose CMPs adapted to Shopify via copy-paste snippets — they work, but require theme edits and don't natively integrate with the Shopify Privacy API. We're typically half the price for an equivalent feature set.
Will I lose conversions by blocking trackers until consent?
No, because Consentico ships with Google Consent Mode v2 enabled. When a visitor declines, GCM v2 sends cookieless pings so Google's modeling can still attribute conversions — you keep ~70–85% of attribution depending on traffic mix, instead of losing it all.
What happens if I uninstall Consentico?
All consent logs and shop data are deleted within 48 hours of uninstall, in line with Shopify's GDPR webhook requirements (shop/redact). The banner script is removed from your storefront automatically when the theme app embed is disabled.
