Consentry — FAQ

Does it actually block tracking before consent?

Yes — that is the core of the app. Google Consent Mode v2 signals default to denied the moment the page loads, Shopify-managed pixels respect the recorded consent, and any script you gate with our attribute cannot run until its category is granted. You can verify it yourself: set a code under the app's settings ("Status panel code"), then open any page with ?consentry_debug=YOURCODE and watch the live status panel.

Will it break my Google Analytics or Ads?

No. Consent is passed to Google through Consent Mode v2, which is Google's own mechanism for measuring with consent. Visitors who accept are measured normally; visitors who decline are not tracked — which is the legal requirement, not a malfunction.

How do I set it up?

Install the app, then in the theme editor open App embeds and switch Consentry Cookie Banner on. Set your consent regions under Settings → Customer privacy in your Shopify admin (for example, European Economic Area). That's the whole setup — no code, no theme edits.

Why does the banner only show for some visitors?

Consentry asks Shopify whether the visitor's region requires consent, based on your store's Customer privacy settings. Visitors in regions that don't require a banner aren't nagged with one.

How can visitors change their mind later?

Three ways: the floating cookie badge (on by default), any link or button you add with the data-consentry-open attribute, and your theme's built-in "Cookie preferences" footer link, which Consentry connects to automatically. Withdrawing consent takes effect immediately.

How do I block my own custom scripts (Meta Pixel, TikTok, etc.)?

Wrap the snippet and give it a category. It stays inert until the visitor grants that category:

<script type="text/plain" data-consentry="marketing">
  // your pixel code here — runs only after consent
</script>

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free includes the full consent flow — banner, blocking, region awareness, withdrawal badge, and every text is editable. Pro ($9/month) adds design control: colors, banner position, badge placement, and custom CSS. Compliance is never behind the paywall.

What happens if I uninstall?

Everything is removed with the app — the banner is a sandboxed app embed, so no code is ever left in your theme.

Still stuck?

Email luis.miguel.miguel5967@gmail.com — include your store URL and, if it's about blocking behavior, a screenshot of the status panel (set a "Status panel code" in the app settings, then open ?consentry_debug=YOURCODE). That panel usually answers the question on the spot.
