Customer Privacy section updates in Shopify

As you may have already noticed with the latest Winter Editions from Shopify, the Customer Privacy section of the stores have been changed and the options for setting them is relocated.

At the moment, in order to set these, you need to navigate to your Shopify Admin > Settings > Customer Privacy > Cookie banner section, you will be able to select which regions you wish the data for your visitors to be collected after they consent for this via the Cookie bar in your store.

This way you will be able to configure the Customer Privacy options freely. You can also refer to the exact process if this happens, below:
