Shopify customer privacy update
Hello there! We're here to guide you through some recent changes that Shopify has made, specifically in the Customer Privacy section of the stores. You might have noticed that the settings have been moved to a new location:
Shopify Admin > Settings > Customer Privacy
With this update, you now have the power to select exactly which regions to apply the "collected after consent" rule for data collection. This is a requirement for GDPR.
Select Regions
Step 1: Let's start by clicking on the Cookie banner section
Step 2: Once you're in the Cookie banner screen, please first check and remove Shopify banner to use ours
Step 3: If the automated setting is still enabled, switch it off.
Step 4: Shopify will then display an empty region selection. Click “Edit” and select the regions where GDPR should be applied.
Step 5: A modal popup will open with Shopify’s recommended GDPR-required regions. Select those regions, and add Switzerland only if your store uses Google tracking services.
You can double-check this and then click Confirm.
After confirming, you’ve completed the GDPR region setup.
And that's it! We hope this guide was helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask
