What’s New at Shopify?

We're introducing new privacy features to help merchants manage consent more effectively, comply with evolving regulations, build trust with customers:

• Consent audit log: Merchants using the Shopify cookie banner can now access an audit log for customer consent preferences given in the past 30 days. This enables merchants to easily retrieve consent records and address inquiries from customers, privacy researchers, or regulators about data usage and consent history. By maintaining these records, merchants can improve their compliance with GDPR and mitigate potential legal risks.

• Canadian provincial privacy settings: Merchants can now configure consent and data sale opt-out features for individual Canadian provinces. This allows for more granular control over privacy settings, helping merchants comply with evolving provincial privacy regulations.
