The solutions that a store owner has are two:

  1. Either follow what Shopify provides by using their Consent Tracking API, which is what we do as an app here on the store with our GDPR Compliance Center or

  2. Block any script (including the ones that Shopify provides) before the visitor gives the positive consent to be used. This is another option that we also support with our script blocker feature.

We have clients that follow the first and others that follow the second solution. It all depends on how you want to apply your policy to your store.

Of course, there are many solutions out there for GDPR like the one you mentioned @thomasdec but in a specific environment/marketplace like Shopify, where it has specific requirements / APIs, etc, I think the best way is to have something tight to the Shopify technology which is an app from the Shopify store.
