Shopify Privacy & Compliance Cookie Consent Banner Localization

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.
