Common Cookie Errors on WordPress & Shopify

 





Adding a cookie banner to your WordPress or Shopify store isn't just a legal checkbox — if poorly implemented, it can ruin UX, hurt sales, and leave you non-compliant.

Here are the most common mistakes found on both platforms:

1. Cookies Fire Before Consent
Plugins or apps often load trackers before user consent. This violates GDPR, CCPA, and other data laws — exposing your site to fines.

2. Mobile Display Failures
On Shopify and WordPress themes, banners sometimes block login buttons, checkout forms, or hide navigation bars — especially on mobile. This can directly impact conversion rates.

3. Ignoring Geo-Targeted Laws
Each region (EU, UK, California, Brazil) has different cookie consent requirements. A single static banner for all users isn’t enough.

4. Language Mismatch
Your store or site may be multilingual, but your cookie banner isn’t. This causes distrust and confusion among global visitors.

5. Lack of Consent Logging
Failing to store consent logs means you can’t prove compliance in case of audits. Many setups forget this completely.

6. No Clear Opt-Out
Especially under CCPA, you must provide a clear opt-out option. Many banners just show an “Accept” button — that’s not compliant.

7. Not Using Google Consent Mode v2
If you rely on Google Ads or Analytics, you’ll lose data and ad performance without Consent Mode v2 support. Most free tools don’t offer it.
