Issue with Shopify.customerPrivacy.thirdPartyMarketingAllowed() Returning True Without Consent

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue where `window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.thirdPartyMarketingAllowed()` is returning `true` before any consent has been given by the user, even though the default Shopify cookie banner is still displayed and not interacted with. This behavior occurs on both an empty development store and without any third-party app (tested it also with third-party apps, same behavior).

I've created a clean development store to demonstrate the issue: Demo Store (pw: demo). Additionally, I've recorded a video showing the reproduction steps: Video Link.

Based on GDPR regulations in Europe, this should ideally return false until consent is explicitly provided. However, it currently defaults to true, allowing third-party marketing, which, I believe, is not compliant with GDPR.

 

Has anyone else faced this issue, or is there any documentation I might have missed that explains this behavior? Any insights from the community or Shopify developers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
