Managing cookies effectively is a vital aspect of ensuring your online store is compliant with various data protection regulations. When a new visitor lands on your page, you have the power to determine which cookies are active by default and which are not.

This initial cookie configuration plays a crucial role in balancing the customer experience with privacy concerns.

To configure your Cookie Bar and Preferences Popup according to your specific needs, here's a brief guide:

Block analytics cookies until consent is given.
Block marketing cookies to prevent tracking before opt-in.
Block functionality cookies that may not be essential for the website's operation.
