Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureConsent Matters shows a cookie consent banner and keeps tracking paused until each visitor makes their choice. Add your Google tags, Meta pixels, and Shopify analytics as usual; consent is applied through Shopify's Customer Privacy API, Google Consent Mode v2, and Meta's consent API. Customize everything from the admin: four layouts, theme-matched colors, live preview, and every word editable.
Keep your Google Ads and Analytics working in Europe. Since 2024, Google requires Consent Mode v2 for EEA visitors — without it, remarketing audiences shrink and conversion tracking breaks. ConsentKit gives you a proper GDPR cookie-consent banner with Consent Mode v2 built in, free forever.
