Cookie and tag scan
Every cookie, pixel, and script listed by category, with the ones that fire before consent today.
The Problem
Your Banner Says Accept, but Your Tags Fire Before Anyone Clicks
It shows up when a banner plugin goes in and nobody checks the tags. The banner looks right, while GA4, Meta, and TikTok load on page one.
01 · Early pixels
Your Meta pixel loads before visitors choose anything.
GA4, Google Ads, Meta, and TikTok wait for each visitor's answer.
02 · Shrinking audiences
Your EEA ad audiences stopped growing.
Google can model conversions from visitors who decline.
03 · Missing links
A California shopper can't find the Do Not Sell link.
Opt-out links appear where CCPA applies, and opt-in where GDPR applies.
04 · Unchecked tags
Nobody checked which of your 14 tags follow the banner.
Every cookie and tag gets scanned, then tested from each region.
You added a cookie banner last year, so you assumed consent was handled. Then a customer in Germany points out that your Meta pixel loads before they choose anything. Your ads team says EEA audiences stopped growing. Meanwhile, a California shopper asks where the Do Not Sell or Share link went. The banner is there, but nobody checked which of your 14 tags actually listen to it.
We start with a scan of every cookie and tag on your site. Then we set rules for each region: opt-in for the EU and UK, opt-out links for California. Your consent platform passes each choice to Google, the Meta pixel, and Shopify's Customer Privacy API. Then we test from each region, so consent works instead of just looking right.
Region rules, not one banner
Opt-in where GDPR applies and opt-out links where CCPA applies, managed in one consent platform.
Every tag follows the choice
GA4, Google Ads, Meta, and TikTok wait for the visitor's answer, checked in each region.
Measurement kept where allowed
Google can model conversions from visitors who decline, so you lose less data.
Our Consent Setup Process
From Cookie Scan to Tested Consent in Five Clear Steps
You approve the banner text, the region rules, and the tag list before anything goes live. We test from each region before handover.
We scan your site for cookies and tags and note which ones fire before consent. You receive the gaps in writing, plus a fixed quote, before we change anything on your store.
What's Included
What You Get With Our Website GDPR Compliance Setup
A cookie scan, a banner with region rules, and every tag wired to the visitor's choice. Bigger plans add opt-outs, consent records, and data requests.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built stores, tracking, and apps for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture
Why Store Owners Trust Us With Consent
A banner that blocks too little is a risk, and one that blocks too much breaks your data. These habits keep both in check.
Tested in every region
We load your store from the EU, UK, and US and record which tags fire before and after each choice. You see proof, not a settings screenshot.
Tags listed, not guessed
Every cookie and pixel goes into an inventory with its category and the app behind it. When you add an app, you know where its tag belongs.
Your ads keep learning
Google's consent signals and Meta's consent commands keep measurement working within each visitor's choice. You lose less data than with a banner that blocks everything.
Plain words on the banner
Each category gets one clear sentence, and Reject is as easy to find as Accept. Visitors understand the choice instead of clicking through a maze.
Lawyers decide, we build
We're developers, not lawyers, so policy wording and legal calls stay with your counsel. We build what they decide and flag questions as we find them.
You own the setup
The consent platform account, tag manager container, and settings stay in your name. You can switch providers later without starting over.
Overview
What is cookie consent management for an online store?
DeveloperLook sets up cookie consent management for online stores, so tracking waits for permission where the law requires it. We scan your cookies, configure a banner with rules for each region, connect Google Consent Mode v2 and the Meta pixel, and test every tag. Setup starts at $600 and takes 1 to 3 weeks, with legal questions flagged for your lawyer.

Good fit
Stores selling to the EU and UK
Your store gets EU and UK traffic, and your analytics and ad tags fire before anyone clicks Accept.
Advertisers on Google and Meta
Your Google Ads audiences stopped growing in the EEA, or conversions dropped after a banner started blocking every tag.
Brands with California customers
You sell to California shoppers and need a Do Not Sell or Share link that actually stops the tags.
Shopify stores with third-party banners
Your Shopify store uses a third-party banner, and pixels stay silent after Accept because the choice doesn't reach Shopify.
Agencies launching client stores
Your agency launches client stores and needs a repeatable cookie consent management tool setup you can hand over with each site.
Not a fit
Legal advice or policy
You need legal advice or a privacy policy written from scratch. A privacy lawyer should draft those, and we'll implement what they decide.
Breach worries
Your worry is hackers or a breach, not consent. Our Website Security Audit Services page covers that.
Broken GA4 data
Your GA4 data itself is broken, with missing or duplicate purchases. Our GA4 Setup and Audit Services page fixes that first.
Shopify's own apps only
Your budget is under $600, or your Shopify store runs only Shopify's own apps. Shopify's built-in cookie banner may cover you for free.

Website GDPR compliance starts with asking before non-essential cookies run and recording each choice. Your banner needs a clear accept and reject, tags must wait for the answer, and your policies must match the site. Our GDPR website compliance checklist covers each step, with legal wording left to your lawyer.
For CCPA compliance, website owners covered by the law need a Do Not Sell or Share link if they sell or share personal data. Covered businesses must also honor Global Privacy Control signals as a valid opt-out. The CPRA amended the CCPA and added protections that began on January 1, 2023.
Consent setup starts at $600 for one store with a region-aware banner, Google's consent signals, and Meta pixel consent. Opt-out flows, Global Privacy Control, and gating every marketing tag bring it to $1,350. The $2,600 program adds data requests, consent records, and up to 3 stores. Your consent platform's own fee is separate.
Most setups need 1 to 2 weeks for one store with a standard set of tags. Adding opt-out flows, Global Privacy Control, and every marketing tag takes 2 to 3 weeks. Most of that time goes to testing each tag from every region you sell to before handover.
A consent banner reduces what you can track, because visitors who decline aren't followed with cookies. In the EEA, Google requires consent signals to keep measurement, personalization, and remarketing working. Set up well, Google can model conversions from people who decline, so you lose less data than a banner that blocks everything.
Set Google's consent defaults to denied before any tag loads, then update them when the visitor chooses. Consent Mode v2 uses four signals: ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization. On Meta, the pixel's revoke command pauses events until you grant consent. We test both with Tag Assistant and the network log.
The right cookie consent management platform depends on your store and ad spend. Shopify's free banner can cover stores running only Shopify apps. Stores running Google Ads in the EEA often use a CMP from Google's partner list, such as Cookiebot, CookieYes, or OneTrust. If Shopify's banner is enough for you, we'll tell you before we quote.
Usually because your consent app doesn't pass the choice to Shopify. Shopify says third-party consent tools must sync consent through its Customer Privacy API, or pixels might not fire even after a customer consents. We connect the two and test that each pixel fires once permission is given.
Rescan your site whenever you add an app or tag, and review the setup at least twice a year. New apps often add cookies without asking, and US state privacy laws keep changing. Our top plan includes a rescan after 90 days, and your tag inventory shows where each new tag belongs.
Yes, the consent platform account, tag manager container, and tag inventory stay in your name. Support runs 30 days on the banner and opt-out plans, or 60 days on the compliance program, which also includes a rescan after 90 days. Legal questions stay with your counsel, and we flag them.
