Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to fix them. Banner not showing? Trackers firing before consent? We've got you covered.

Quick Answer

Most issues come down to: the app embed isn't enabled, you're editing the wrong theme, or there's a conflicting cookie app. Check those first.

Most likely cause: The app embed isn't enabled.

Fix: Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize, click App embeds in the left sidebar, toggle Consentico ON, then click Save.

Still not working? Make sure you're editing your published theme (not a draft), try a hard refresh in incognito, and check that "Banner enabled" is ON in Consentico Settings.

Tracking issues

Most likely cause: Shopify's privacy regions aren't configured.

Shopify has a setting that tells their pixel manager which regions require consent. Without it, pixels fire immediately — before any CMP can intervene.

Fix:

  1. Go to Settings → Customer Privacy → Cookie Banner
  2. Click "Remove cookie banner" (removes Shopify's banner since you're using ours)
  3. Toggle OFF "Use automated settings"
  4. Click "Edit" next to Regions
  5. Select European Economic Area and United Kingdom
  6. Click Save

This tells Shopify to block tracking in those regions until Consentico grants consent.

Why this matters: Shopify's Facebook & Instagram channel, TikTok channel, and other native integrations run inside Shopify's "web pixel" sandbox. This sandbox checks customerPrivacy.marketingAllowed before firing — but that value defaults to true unless you configure the regions above.
