Learn how to configure every CookieYes setting in your Shopify admin, from banner regions and design to cookie scans, consent records and integrations. --- **Categories:** Shopify **Last updated:** October 7, 2026 **URL:** https://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/configure-cookieyes-shopify/ --- The quick setup gives you a working banner. Everything beyond that is configured from the CookieYes app in your Shopify admin. If you have not installed the CookieYes app yet, see [how to install and set up CookieYes in Shopify](https://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/how-to-install-and-setup-cookieyes-shopify/). This guide covers the settings on each page of the app, from the banner's regions and appearance to your cookie list, consent records, languages, and integrations. ## CookieYes dashboard CookieYes opens the app dashboard in your Shopify admin. The dashboard has two views. On your first visit, the dashboard shows the **Getting started** card. It lists two tasks: - **Activate the cookie banner** is marked complete if you turned on the app embed during onboarding. If you skipped that step, follow the instructions on the card to turn on the embed, then click **Check again**. - **Design your banner** opens the **Cookie Banner** page, where you configure the banner shown on your storefront. ![getting started](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_23_15_17_14_1_ba1c009728.gif) Once the banner is active, the dashboard shows the status card in place of Getting started. It reports the **regions where your banner is visible **and the **consent model in use**, with three cards showing the state of **App embed**, **Auto-blocking**, and **Google Consent Mode v2**. Click **Check again** to refresh the status. ![dashboard Cy shopify](https://assets.cookieyes.com/dashboard_Cy_shopify_ba1d19836e.png) **Cookies on your store** shows the results of your latest scan. Click **Schedule now** to set up recurring scans, or open **Cookie Manager** to review and edit your cookie list. **Consent activity** reports the acceptance rate and a breakdown of banner interactions. Use the date filter to change the reporting period. **Recent consent logs** lists individual consent records as visitors respond to your banner. Each record serves as proof of consent and can be downloaded. > **Note** > If the app embed is turned off, the dashboard shows an alert that your banner is not visible. Click **Open theme editor** to turn the embed back on, then click **Check again**. > ![open_editor.webp](https://assets.cookieyes.com/open_editor_3bb11fde2d.webp) > ## Cookie Banner In the CookieYes app, select **Cookie Banner**. Configure your banner across five tabs: **Regions**, **Layout**, **Content**, **Colours**, and **Custom CSS**. ![regions shopify tabs](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_23_at_3_21_31_PM_19d1da2380.png) > **Note** > A **Banner active** badge confirms your banner is live, or an amber badge prompts you to turn on the app embed. > ## Regions Set where your banner appears and which consent rules apply. 1. Under **Regions**, select the regions your store serves. Select **Worldwide** to cover all visitors, or search for a specific country. 2. Under **Consent setup for your regions**, select a consent model: Geo-targeting, GDPR opt-in consent, US opt-out consent, or Set your own consent rules. Select **Set your own consent rules **to set the consent model for each region yourself. 3. Click **Save**. The **Live coverage map** highlights the regions where your banner is shown. ![regions tab gif](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_23_10_34_47_1_e56a8058e1.gif) ## Layout Set the shape and position of the cookie notice, the preference centre, and the revisit consent button. 1. If your regions require more than one banner, select the banner you want to edit under **Customise**. 2. Under **Cookie notice**, choose a shape (Box, Banner, or Popup) and set the **Position** of the cookie banner. Turn on **Close X button** to show a close control on the banner. 3. Under **Preference centre**, choose where the second layer opens: Centre, Sidebar, or Push down. Push down is available only for the Banner cookie notice. Selecting it adds the **Categories on first layer** toggle, which you can turn on to show the category toggles on the cookie banner itself. 4. Under **Revisit consent button**, turn on **Floating button** and set its **Position** to Left or Right. Visitors use this button to change their consent at any time. 5. Click **Save**. Use **Preview as** to check the banner for a specific region, switch between Desktop and Mobile, and use the **Cookie notice** and **Preference centre** tabs to review both layers. ![layout tab gif](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_23_10_36_18_1_216c975046.gif) ## Content Edit the text shown on the banner, in the preference centre, and in the cookie list. 1. If your regions require more than one banner, select the banner you want to edit under **Customise**. Each banner has its own text. 2. Under **Language**, select the language you are editing. Activated languages are translated automatically. To add a language, go to **Languages**. 3. Under **Cookie notice**, set the **Title**, **Message**, and the labels for the Accept, Reject, and Customise buttons. 4. Under **Preference centre**, set the **Title**, **Privacy overview**, and the button labels. Turn on **Show Google privacy policy** if Google services set cookies on your store. 5. Under **Categories**, click **Edit** next to a category to change its title and description. Categories appear in a fixed order, and Necessary stays active. 6. Under **Consent frameworks**, turn on **Support IAB TCF v2.3** to pass consent to advertising partners through the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. The **Support Google's Additional Consent Mode** and **Enable Google's Advertiser Consent Mode** toggles extend this to Google ad partners and tags, and both require IAB TCF. 7. Under **Cookie list**, turn on **Show cookie list on banner** to add the full cookie table to the preference centre. Edit the column headings and labels as needed. 8. Under **Revisit consent button**, set the **Text on hover**. 9. Under **Blocked content**, set the **Alt text for blocked content**. This appears in place of embedded content held until a visitor consents. 10. Click **Save**. ![content tab gif](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_23_10_38_08_1_ab90ac4643.gif) ## Colours Set the theme and the individual colours used on the cookie banner. 1. If your regions require more than one banner, select the banner you want to edit under **Customise**. 2. Choose a theme: 3. - **Light:** light background with dark text - **Dark:** dark background with light text - **Match theme:** takes its colours from your website theme - **Custom:** set the colours yourself 4. If you selected **Custom**, set the colours for the Cookie notice, Preference centre, Revisit consent button, and Blocked content. Enter a hex value, or click the swatch to pick a colour. 5. Click **Save**. Check the preview as you work, and switch between Desktop and Mobile to confirm the banner reads well on both. ![colours tab gif](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_23_10_39_14_1_2cd471e3b2.gif) ## Custom CSS Fine-tune the banner beyond the options on the **Colours** tab. Your CSS applies only to the cookie banner, not to your website theme. 1. If your regions require more than one banner, select the banner you want to edit under **Customise**. 2. Enter your CSS in the **Custom CSS** field. 3. Click **Save**. ![cusrtom css tab](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_23_at_10_39_54_AM_af4a6d929e.png) > **Note** > Click **Publish changes** to make your edits live. > ## Cookie Manager In the CookieYes GDPR app, select **Cookie Manager** to review the cookies found on your store and check your scan history. Under **Scans**, click **Scan now** to run a fresh scan, or **Schedule scan** to set up recurring scans. Run a scan whenever you add or remove a third-party tool. For more, see [scan your website](https://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/scan-your-website/). Under **AI cookie classifier**, click **Configure** to sort uncategorised cookies automatically. The **Cookies** tab lists each cookie with its category, domain, duration, and description. Filter by category, or click **Add cookie** to add one the scanner did not detect. For more, see [add a cookie to the cookie audit table](https://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/how-to-display-a-cookie-audit-table-on-your-website-using-cookieyes/#Addingcookie-2). ![cookie manager](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_23_at_3_23_55_PM_6008e9a2e7.png) ## Consent Log The consent log records each visitor's consent choice as proof of consent. Each record shows the consent ID, consent status, and the date and time. > To turn it on, go to > **Settings** > in the CookieYes app and turn on > **Consent log** > . To view your records, select **Consent Log** in the CookieYes app. Use the search bar to find a specific record, or click **Export as CSV** to download the full log. > You can also download the proof of consent for each consent. For more details, see > . ## Languages Show your cookie banner and preference centre in your visitors' own languages. In the CookieYes app, select **Languages**. To add a language: 1. Click **Add language**. 2. Select a language from the list. 3. Click **Add language**. The language is added and translated automatically. Use the options menu next to a language to set it as the default or remove it. To edit the text for a language, click **Edit banner content**. This opens the Content tab on the **Cookie Banner** page, where you can edit one language at a time. ![languages page](https://assets.cookieyes.com/2026_09_18_12_20_36_1_49a52cbf17.gif) ## Reports In the CookieYes app, select **Reports** to review what the scanner found on your store. Use **Latest scan report** for the most recent scan, or **Past scan reports** for earlier ones. The report shows the total cookies found, the categories they fall into, and the number of pages scanned. Under **Discovered cookies**, expand a category to see each cookie, where it was first found, and how long it lasts. The panels on the right show the scan status, date, and storefront, along with the pages included. Cookies under **Uncategorised** could not be matched automatically. Assign them to a category in **Cookie Manager** so visitors see accurate information in the preference centre. ![report page](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_23_at_3_27_32_PM_1f23b42702.png) ## Integrations In the CookieYes app, select **Integrations** to connect your analytics and advertising tools, so they respect each visitor's consent choice. The page lists the available integrations, each on its own card showing whether it is enabled. Click **Configure** on a card to set up that integration or change its settings. ![integrations cards](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_18_at_12_39_29_PM_4a84780e69.png) ## Settings In the CookieYes app, select **Settings** to control whether the banner is live, what consent is recorded, and how the scanner reaches your store. ## Banner settings **Banner status** shows whether the banner is live. The banner appears only once the app embed is turned on in your theme. If the status is not Active, turn on the embed in the Shopify theme editor, then click **Check again**. Turn off **Banner display** to remove the CookieYes script and banner while you test or debug. No consent is collected while it is off. Under **Disable banner on specific pages**, list the pages where the banner should not appear. Enter one URL or wildcard per line. ## Consent settings - **Consent log:** records each visitor's consent choice as proof of consent - **Subdomain consent sharing:** applies a visitor's consent across your subdomains, so they are asked only once - **Link to your list of sites:** links to a page listing the sites and subdomains the consent covers, such as your cookie policy - **Consent expiration:** how long consent lasts on the opt-in and opt-out banners. The default is 365 days for each. - **Renew visitor consents:** click **Renew now** to clear existing consents and ask every visitor again. Do this after changing your cookie categories or adding new tracking. ## Scan settings Turn on **Static IP scan** if your storefront's firewall restricts external access, then allow the CookieYes scanner's static IP addresses on your firewall. ![settings page shopify](https://assets.cookieyes.com/Screenshot_2026_09_18_at_12_43_20_PM_ea5f722e69.png) Your banner is now configured, and CookieYes records every visitor's consent as your store runs.
