@jake_mitchell + @Maxkoa there are plenty of solutions out there that block 3rd party cookies, OneTrust being one of the best ones that don’t require some app to be installed.
There are also plenty of apps out there that sell their solution as “cookie consent compliant” but it is simply not possible today because Shopify doesn’t allow control over their internal Analytics cookies. If these cookies would in fact be blocked (as they need to be in order to be compliant), the whole Analytics suite on the Shopify admin would pretty much have to be disabled.
As you said Jake, this puts Shopify users at risk and subject to hefty fines. Unfortunately, it is still impossible to comply with EU cookie regulations while using the Shopify platform.
I have implemented the consent tracking API option on one of my stores so that I can use an external tool such as OneTrust rather than an app. In no way does it give you control over the internal Shopify analytics cookies. See the screenshot attached for the Shopify analytics cookies still being loaded, even though I’ve denied all cookies using the tracking consent api.
