See every featureConsently adds a theme-matched cookie consent banner to your Shopify store to collect and record visitor consent for GDPR and CCPA — with no code to add to your theme. Visitors get a clear Accept, Reject, and Preferences choice, and tracking stays blocked until they consent. Each choice is recorded and signaled to Google Consent Mode v2 and Shopify's Customer Privacy API.
Silens shows a consent banner where it is required and records each choice through Shopify's Customer Privacy API, so consent stays in Shopify. It holds known trackers back until a visitor agrees, with no theme code to edit, and passes consent signals to Google Consent Mode v2, Meta, Pinterest, Clarity and Microsoft Ads so measurement keeps working.
