What Cookie Consent does

Cookie Consent shows a banner to first-time visitors asking how your store may use cookies, and makes your tracking tools wait for their answer.

Visitors can choose:

Accept All — everything on.
Reject Non-Essential — only the cookies your store needs to work (cart, login).
Customize — switch on or off Analytics, Marketing and Personalization cookies one by one, then Save Preferences. Essential Cookies are always on.

The choice is remembered on that browser for a year, and the banner doesn't come back during that time.

With Cookie Consent on:

Google Analytics loads only after the visitor allows Analytics.
Ad and marketing tags — Facebook (Meta) Pixel, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager — load only after the visitor allows Marketing.

Scripts you add yourself in Tracking Scripts load without waiting for consent.
The Personalization choice is saved but no feature uses it yet.
There's no "Cookie settings" link for visitors to change their mind later; they'd have to clear their browser data.
Choices are kept only in the visitor's browser — there's no record of consents in your admin.
The banner text is the same for every visitor; it can't be edited from the admin.
