Cookie list block

Most privacy laws expect your cookie or privacy policy to say which cookies the store uses and why. The Cookie list theme block shows your store's cookies and browser storage on any page, grouped by category, and keeps itself up to date from Cookies and services.

Add the block

1. Create or open the page for your cookie or privacy policy in Online Store > Pages, using a page template.
2. In the theme editor, open that page template.
3. Select Add section (or Add block), open the Apps tab and choose Cookie list.
4. Select Save.

You can also open the theme editor with the block ready to add from the compliance centre: select Add the cookie list block next to the "The cookie list is published" check.

Shopify's own policy pages (under Settings > Policies) can't hold app blocks, so use a regular page and link to it from your footer or from the privacy policy.

Block settings

• Heading - leave empty for "Cookies we use" in the visitor's language.
• Introduction - optional text above the list.
• Show the visitor's current choice - each category shows whether the visitor allowed it, declined it or has not chosen yet.
• Show the "Change cookie preferences" button - opens the preference centre.

What visitors see

The list is grouped into Necessary, Preferences, Analytics, Marketing and Other. Each entry shows its name, provider, purpose and duration. Necessary entries are marked "Always active", the others "Only with your consent". Purposes and durations from the app's catalog appear in the visitor's language, unless you reworded them.

Until the app has found or you have added entries, the block says "This store has not listed its cookies yet."
