# 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: 

<mark style="color:green;">Shopify Admin > Settings > Customer Privacy</mark>

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[​](https://help.avada.app/CookieBar/AGettingStartted/shopify-update-privacy/#select-regions) <a href="#select-regions" id="select-regions"></a>

**Step 1:** Let's start by clicking on the Cookie banner section

**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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://docs.avada.io/cookie-help-center/getting-started/shopify-customer-privacy-update.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
