Question 3

Facebook Pixel integration for Consentmo GDPR app

Accepted Answer

**Here is how it works by default: **

Our app deletes the Facebook Pixel cookies on page load. However, those cookies are then created by Facebook again on the next page load. Because of that, we are removing the cookies on every refresh. With that said, when a customer visits a page, a small bit of information is sent to Facebook Pixel. We are using this method due to Shopify's limitations preventing us from getting the tracking codes for each store.

Question 4

Change my cookies choice (footer link)

Accepted Answer

You can easily do that by a button or a link on a page of your preference. You just have to choose one of the examples below:

Button:

<button class="btn btn--secondary isense-reopen-widget-button" onclick="showPreferences(this);event.preventDefault();" aria-haspopup="dialog" 
style="cursor: pointer; 
color: black; 
background-color: white; 
border-color:black;">Cookie Preferences</button>

In the code for the Button option you can change the colors and the rounding or the corners as per your preferences so it can match the styling of your store.

Link:

<a onclick="showPreferences(this);" class="isense-reopen-widget-link" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-haspopup="dialog" style="cursor: pointer; "> Cookie Preferences</a>

|| The above Link , can also be implemented as a footer menu element . Once you create a new element, the link needs to be added in the Name part and for the Link part you can select the Home Page . You can check a reference on how this can be done below:

||| Note: The code will not work if you try to add it to a Legal page ( Settings > Policies ), due to limitations from Shopify, which are not allowing the Javascript code to run properly.
