Preference centre

Let visitors choose cookie categories one by one

The preference centre lets visitors choose cookie categories one by one instead of accepting or rejecting everything. It opens from the banner's Customize button, from the reopen button after a choice, and from any link on your store to #cookie-preferences.

What visitors see

A dialog titled "Cookie Preferences" lists the categories with a short description of each (English defaults shown):

  • Necessary ("Always on") - needed for the store to work, such as the cart, checkout and security.
  • Preferences ("Remember my preferences") - remembers choices such as language and currency.
  • Analytics ("Allow analytics cookies") - helps you understand how the store is used.
  • Marketing ("Allow marketing cookies") - used for relevant ads and offers, here and on other sites.

Nothing is pre-ticked the first time; later, the boxes show the visitor's current choice. At the bottom are three buttons: Reject all, Save preferences (saves the ticked categories) and OK (accepts all).

Closing the dialog, or pressing Esc, records nothing, so a visitor is never counted as accepting by closing it. A visitor who has not chosen yet sees the banner again.

The dialog works with a keyboard and screen readers: focus moves into it when it opens and returns to the button that opened it.

Choose the categories

Only the categories the banner offers appear. Turn them on or off under Banner > Consent categories in the app. A category that is off is always denied.

Any link on your store whose address ends in #cookie-preferences opens the preference centre, for example a "Cookie preferences" link in your footer menu or on your privacy policy page. Add one in Online Store > Navigation with #cookie-preferences as the link.
