Cookie Consent Manager

Quickstart

About ten minutes to a compliant banner. Every step is explained in more depth in the linked chapters.

1. Install and activate the plugin

Extensions → My extensions → Cookie Consent Manager → Install, then activate it. During installation the plugin creates its database tables and the four default cookie groups: Technically necessary, Statistics, Marketing and Comfort.

2. Switch it on for your sales channel

Open My extensions → Cookie Consent Manager → Configuration, pick the sales channel at the top and turn Activate plugin on. Without this step the banner stays invisible.

The configuration is stored per sales channel. Repeat this step for every channel that should show the banner.

3. Collect your cookies

In the administration go to Settings → Extensions → Cookie Consent → Cookie Scanner and run Scan shop now (premium). The scan crawls up to five representative storefront pages and compares the cookies it finds with your configuration.

Without premium you create the cookies manually under Cookies & Scripts.

Cookies that are only set after consent by external scripts (for example GA4 or Meta) will not be found by the scanner — it only sees what happens without consent. You have to add those entries yourself, fastest via Add preset.

4. Bind tracking scripts to a group

Under Cookies & Scripts → Add preset (premium) pick e.g. Google Analytics 4, enter your measurement ID and save. The script lands in the Statistics group and only loads once that group has been accepted.

Without premium, create a cookie manually and fill in Script URL or Script code on the Script configuration tab.

In the plugin configuration Google Consent Mode V2 is enabled by default and the default status is Denied. Leave it that way — that is the legally clean variant. Details under Google Consent Mode & Tracking.

Visitors must be able to change their consent at any time. The plugin adds a link in the footer automatically. To add another one, for example in your privacy policy:

{% sw_include '@PremsCookieConsent/storefront/component/prems-cookie-consent-settings-link.html.twig' %}

7. Test

Open the storefront in a private window and check:

  • The banner appears on the first visit.
  • No tracking script is loaded before consent (network tab).
  • After Accept all the scripts load and an entry appears under Consent Log.
