Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify'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.
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.
