Do we need to implement shopify privacy cookies banner as mentioned here? We don’t use cookies at all, we use local storage to store some user data for some use cases.
Topic summary
Developers are seeking clarification on whether they must implement Shopify’s privacy/cookie consent banner API when their apps don’t use cookies at all.
Key Question:
- Does the Privacy API requirement apply to apps that only use local storage for user data or tracking purposes, rather than traditional cookies?
Current Status:
- Multiple developers have the same uncertainty
- Awaiting official guidance from Shopify team
- One developer has created a separate thread detailing their specific use case involving local storage and customer integration requirements
Context:
The discussion references Shopify’s privacy API documentation but questions its scope and applicability to non-cookie storage mechanisms.
