Why it matters

Why Online Stores Need Cookie Compliance

eCommerce sites collect more user data than most websites. From payment processors to retargeting pixels, every cookie needs proper consent.

30-60

Cookies per online store

Payment processors, analytics, cart tools, and third-party integrations - all setting cookies. Under GDPR, every non-essential cookie requires explicit consent. Without a consent mechanism, you are liable for each undeclared cookie.

Analytics, Marketing, Payment, Essential

Retargeting & Ad Pixels

Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn - all set marketing cookies requiring opt-in consent. Without it, your retargeting data is collected unlawfully and ad audiences could be invalid.

€20M

Maximum GDPR fine

Or 4% of global turnover. Activist groups like noyb have filed thousands of complaints targeting stores across Europe.

Cross-Border Complexity

Selling internationally means navigating GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and more. Each regulation has different consent thresholds. A one-size-fits-all cookie notice will either over-block US visitors or under-comply for EU customers.

GDPR CCPA LGPD PIPEDA UK GDPR ePrivacy

Trust Drives Conversion

A clear, professional cookie banner signals you respect user data - directly impacting purchase confidence. Transparent privacy practices lead to higher add-to-cart rates and lower cart abandonment.

Payment & Checkout Cookies

Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, and other providers set cookies for fraud detection, session management, and 3D Secure. While most qualify as strictly necessary, they must still be disclosed. Some providers also set analytics cookies that require consent.

What's on your store

Cookies Commonly Found on Online Stores

Most eCommerce sites set dozens of cookies from analytics, marketing, payment, and cart tools. Many store owners don't even know which cookies their site sets until a scanner reveals them. Here are the most common categories - and why each matters for compliance.

These are just examples. Kukie's scanner finds all cookies on your store automatically.

How it works

Three Steps to Compliant Selling

Getting your store compliant doesn't require a developer or legal team. Kukie automates the entire process - from discovering cookies to showing the right consent banner.

1

Add One Script Tag

Paste a single <script> tag into your store's theme. For WooCommerce, use our WordPress plugin instead - no code needed. Works with any platform that supports custom HTML.

2

Automatic Scanning

Kukie crawls your store, discovers every cookie and tracking script, and categorises them using a database of over 200 known cookies. It even simulates consent to find cookies that only appear after opt-in. Schedule weekly or monthly re-scans to catch changes.

3

Region-Aware Consent

Your banner adapts to each visitor's location. EU visitors see an opt-in banner with granular category controls. US visitors see a notice-only bar or CCPA "Do Not Sell" link. California gets the full CPRA treatment. All automatic, no geo-targeting code needed.

Platform integrations

Built for Every eCommerce Platform

Kukie integrates with all major eCommerce platforms. Select your platform below to see specific integration details and supported features.

Shopify Integration

Add Kukie to your Shopify store by pasting one script tag into your theme's theme.liquid file. No Shopify app installation required - no monthly app fees, no app review delays. Kukie automatically detects Shopify-specific cookies including cart tokens, checkout sessions, and secure session IDs.

How Stores Solve Cookie Compliance

See how different types of eCommerce businesses use Kukie to stay compliant while maintaining their conversion rates and advertising effectiveness.

Shopify Plus Fashion

Multi-Region Fashion Retailer

A Shopify Plus fashion store selling across the EU, UK, and US needed different consent models for each region. Their previous CMP showed the same opt-in banner to all visitors, causing a 15% bounce rate increase for US shoppers who found the banner intrusive.

Solution

Kukie's geo-targeting shows opt-in banners to EU/UK visitors and a minimal notice bar to US visitors. Google Consent Mode v2 keeps GA4 and Google Ads conversion data flowing for both regions with proper consent signals.

WooCommerce Electronics

EU Electronics Store with 50+ Trackers

A WooCommerce electronics store running Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel, and Hotjar had no idea they were setting 53 cookies. A customer complaint to the Austrian DPA prompted an urgent compliance review.

Solution

Kukie's scanner identified all 53 cookies and auto-categorised them. Auto-blocking ensures no marketing scripts fire until consent is given. Scheduled weekly scans catch new cookies from plugin updates automatically.

Frequently asked questions

eCommerce Cookie Compliance FAQ

Yes. If your online store uses cookies for analytics, marketing pixels, or payment processing and serves visitors in the EU, UK, or California, you need explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies. The GDPR (EU), UK GDPR, and ePrivacy Directive all require prior consent. The CCPA/CPRA requires at minimum a "Do Not Sell" opt-out. eCommerce sites are especially affected because they typically use multiple tracking and payment cookies.
Yes. Add one line of code to your Shopify theme (in theme.liquid or via the Shopify admin) and Kukie handles everything else. The automatic cookie scanner detects Shopify-specific cookies like cart_token, _secure_session_id, and checkout cookies. Google Consent Mode v2 ensures your GA4 and Google Ads tags respect consent state.
Yes. WooCommerce stores can use our official WordPress plugin for one-click installation, or add the script tag manually. The scanner auto-detects WooCommerce cart, session, and payment cookies.
Yes. Kukie automatically blocks third-party scripts (analytics, marketing pixels, chat widgets) until the visitor gives consent. Combined with Google Consent Mode v2, your scripts respect consent state without any manual tag configuration.
Yes. Google Consent Mode v2 is built in with all 7 consent types (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, functionality_storage, personalization_storage, security_storage). This is required for Google Ads conversion tracking in the EU since March 2024. Kukie signals the correct consent state automatically.
The main regulations are GDPR (EU), UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and PIPEDA (Canada). Each has different consent requirements. Kukie's geo-targeting automatically shows the right consent banner based on each visitor's location - opt-in for EU visitors, opt-out for US visitors, and so on.
Different regions require different consent models. EU visitors must give explicit opt-in consent before any tracking. US visitors (outside California) may only need a notice. Kukie detects each visitor's location and applies the correct consent model automatically. This means you stay compliant everywhere while maximising conversion - visitors only see the consent options their region requires.
Yes. The free plan includes up to 5 sites, unlimited pageviews, automatic cookie scanning, and Google Consent Mode v2. It is a great starting point for small stores. For geo-targeted banners, scheduled scans, and advanced analytics, see our paid plans.
