Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureKeep 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.
Shopify's native cookie banner shows a notice but doesn't block tracking, so Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok and Hotjar can fire before a visitor agrees. ConsentPL holds those scripts until the shopper chooses, helping EU stores meet GDPR. Install it, enable the banner in your theme, and you're covered — no code.
- **Google Consent Mode v2 out of the box** — meet Google's EEA requirement
- **Geo-targeted to who needs it** — EEA & UK visitors see the banner
- **Privacy-first by design** proof-of-consent logging with no personal data store
- Blocks Google, Meta, TikTok and Hotjar until the visitor gives consent
- Google Consent Mode v2 keeps your ads measuring after consent
- Scans your theme to find tracking scripts and gate them behind consent
- Banner in Polish and English with editable colours, text and position
