To enable Google Consent Mode in Pandectes, navigate to Settings > Integrations and switch on the integration. The app will automatically enable Google Consent Mode for existing Google properties. You can also add specific Google property IDs under 'Setup Google properties'. For advanced settings, configure consent types mapping, ads data redaction, and URL passthrough options to optimize your tracking compliance while respecting user consent preferences.
Follow these 4 steps: 1) Enable Shopify's customer privacy settings by going to Settings > Customer Privacy > Cookie Banner > More actions > Use custom cookie banner. 2) Enable app embed in Online Store > Themes > Customize > App embeds > Pandectes Core. 3) Select banner type/consent mode in Pandectes app Settings > Banner > Behavior (choose Accept/Decline or Accept only). 4) Link privacy policy and set up customer data request pages through the app settings.
To link your privacy policy to the cookie banner, open the Pandectes app > Settings > Banner > Behavior and scroll down to the Privacy Policy Link area.
