I need a solution that is free
Topic summary
Main issue: Shopify’s Privacy & Compliance (GDPR/ADA) cookie consent banner cannot be localized into multiple languages and does not appear in the Translate & Adapt app for translation.
Key points:
- Multiple merchants report the same need for multilingual consent text and buttons.
- Acronyms: GDPR (EU data protection law), ADA (US accessibility law), DSGVO (German abbreviation for GDPR).
Workarounds discussed:
- A user recommends the “CookieYes GDPR Cookie Banner” app, stating it supports multiple languages.
- Cost concern: another user asks for a free solution; the recommender replies that CookieYes can be used for free.
Compliance concern:
- One participant claims CookieYes is not DSGVO compliant, raising doubts about its suitability for EU requirements.
Status and open questions:
- No confirmed method to localize Shopify’s native banner via Translate & Adapt.
- Unresolved: whether CookieYes fully meets DSGVO/GDPR compliance while offering multilingual support and a free tier.
- No decisions or official fixes announced; discussion remains open.
