See every featureFairConsent adds a compliant cookie consent banner for GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA. It never injects tracking tags: it only sends consent signals through Shopify's Customer Privacy API and Google Consent Mode v2, so your pixels, ads, and analytics keep working as intended. Setup is a single theme app embed with no code changes, and nothing is left behind if you uninstall.
Most cookie consent apps bloat your store with heavy scripts, drop your Google PageSpeed score, and sometimes even break checkout. Featherbyte is built the opposite way — feather-light and rock-solid. WHY FEATHERBYTE • Feather-light — a tiny script, so your store stays light and keep its Google ranking. • Checkout-safe — never touches or breaks your cart or checkout.
- Consent signals only: never injects tags or breaks existing tracking
- Google Consent Mode v2 and Shopify Customer Privacy API signals
- Geo-targeting: show the banner only where consent laws require it
- Stays light — no PageSpeed drop, unlike heavy consent apps
- GDPR, CCPA & Google Consent Mode v2 compliant out of the box
- Set up in 2 minutes — one toggle, fully customisable
