You can download Pandectes GDPR Compliance from the Shopify App Store and change your app settings through Shopify Admin > “ Apps ” (left-side tab).

Account Actions

Step 1

Download the App

Download the “Pandectes GDPR Compliance” app by Pandectes from Shopify’s App Store and activate it. Make sure you choose a plan above Basic (Plus, Premium, or Enterprise).

Step 2

Activate Banner

Activate cookie consent banner.

Step 3

Select Options

Only select strict options to be GDPR compliant.

Step 4

Adjust the Settings

(1) Pandectes Custom Event is required for managing any tags other than Google destinations through Analyzify GTM Tags. (2) As of March, when the Google & YouTube Sales Channel was informed that Shopify Privacy API as allowed, it started to push Google Consent Mode Arguments as granted to the dataLayer. This could cause conflicts in some stores, so Pandectes introduced a setting that allows you to disable the pushing of Pandectes’ own Google Consent Mode arguments because we can not disable Google & Youtube Sales Channel push. Using the Google & YouTube Sales Channel, you can proceed by checking this setting based on Pandectes' recommendation.

Step 5

Check the Switch

Lastly, head back to the app's dashboard, and click "Online Store 2.0 support" > "View Instructions". Here, make sure that the switch is turned ON.

Warning: There are two types of setups in Pandectes,

Old version: Pre-Online Store 2.0
New version: Post-Online 2.0

Although the two versions are basically the same, the only difference is that Online 2.0 doesn't support the Google Consent Mode feature. Thus, Analyzify needs Google Consent Mode to work in compliance with GDPR. That's why we need to have an old version of Pandectes (Pre-Online 2.0).

Step 6 (Optional)

Geolocation

You can select the location where the banner will be shown under the Geolocation.

Theme Actions

If you have set up the Analyzify app before, you need to do some changes to some of the existing codes first. Let’s go over them together.

Step 1

Check the Code

Head to your Shopify Admin page > “Online Store” > “Themes”. Then, click “Actions” on your current theme, and “Edit code”.

Make sure the “{% include "pandectes-rules" %}” line is in the theme.liquid

pandectes-script

For Shopify Plus stores , this action also needs to be done in the “checkout.liquid” file. (If you can’t see the checkout files, then this means they are not activated. Activate them first, then check the code.)

Step 2

Check Pandectes Core Switch

After you are done, head to "Online Store" > "Customize", and click "App Embeds" to make sure that the "Pandectes Core" switch is turned OFF .

Warning: There are two types of setups in Pandectes,

Old version: Pre-Online Store 2.0
New version: Post-Online 2.0

Step 3

Enable Customer Privacy

At the beginning of March, Shopify introduced a free banner feature through the Customer Privacy Tab, allowing data to be collected according to Consent via the Shopify Customer Privacy API for 3rd party native integrations such as Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest. However, this banner does not yet meet specific functionalities like blocking 3rd party scripts integrated from your theme file or pushing Google Consent Mode argument. Therefore, we need to only activate the Region through the Customer Privacy Tab and deactivate the Banner. If we do not deactivate the Banner, two banners will appear in your store.
