How to add a cookie banner on a Shopify store

This guide walks you through adding the Kukie.io cookie consent banner to your Shopify store. The process takes just a few minutes and requires pasting a single line of code into your theme file.

Prerequisite: You need a Kukie.io account and at least one site added. If you haven't done this yet, follow Create Your Account & Add Your First Site first.

Step 1: Get Your Embed Code

Log in to your Kukie.io dashboard, navigate to your site, and copy the embed code from the Setup tab. It looks like this:

<script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script>

Replace YOUR-SITE-KEY with the actual site key shown in your dashboard.

Step 2: Add the Script to Shopify

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes
2. Click the … menu on your current theme and select Edit code
3. In the left sidebar, open Layout → theme.liquid
4. Find the <head> tag and paste the Kukie.io embed code immediately after it:

   <script src="https://cdn.kukie.io/s/YOUR-SITE-KEY/c.js" async></script>

5. Click Save

Shopify Markets & Multi-Region: If you sell to customers in multiple regions, configure Region Rules in Kukie.io to show the right consent model (opt-in for EU, opt-out for US/California) automatically.

Step 3: Verify the Installation

Visit your website in a new browser window (or incognito/private mode). You should see the Kukie.io consent banner appear. If it does not show, check the following:

• Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and look for the script in the Network tab - it should load with a 200 status
• Check the Console tab for any JavaScript errors
• Make sure you published/saved your changes in Shopify
• Clear any platform-level cache if applicable
