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.
Many privacy regulations require merchants to obtain visitor consent before tracking scripts and cookies can load. SimpleConsent adds a consent banner to your storefront and automatically blocks trackers like Google Analytics and Meta Pixel until shoppers choose what to allow. Because the banner loads in the document head, blocking happens before any script runs.
