Do I Need a Cookie Policy on My Shopify Website?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:17 am

As a business owner, you’re probably wondering if you need a cookie policy on your Shopify website. After all, cookies are used to store information about a user’s activity on a website.

However, there are a few things to consider before adding a cookie policy to your website.

For starters, Shopify is compliant with the EU cookie law. This means that Shopify handles cookies in a way that meets the requirements of the law.

In order for you to add a cookie policy to your website, you would need to add additional code to your site. This could potentially slow down your site or cause other problems.

PRO TIP: If you are using cookies on your Shopify website, you need to have a cookie policy in place. This will inform your visitors what cookies are being used on your site and how they are being used. Without a cookie policy, you may be in violation of privacy laws.

Another thing to consider is that most people don’t actually read cookie policies. They often just click “accept” without knowing what they’re agreeing to.

So, while a cookie policy may be required by law, it might not actually be beneficial to your business.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to add a cookie policy to your Shopify website is up to you. If you’re not comfortable with handling cookies on your site, then you may want to add a cookie policy. However, if you’re confident in your ability to comply with the EU cookie law, then you may not need one.
