Step 1 - update your list of DPS
Open the Usercentrics Shopify App. Go to the 'Technologies' tab and select 'Third-Party Technologies.' Find and remove the 'All My Shopify Trackings' DPS (or any similarly broad DPS related to Shopify Tracking that you have set up).
Add three new predefined Data Processing Services:
In the "Categories" section, choose the category where you want your DPS to appear.
In the "Third-Party Technologies" section add the following Technologies:
“Shopify Analytics” (Template ID: ZQOx-TM97Y3rLe)
“Shopify Marketing” (Template ID: zixK7I8y1mhf1D)
“Shopify Preferences” (Template ID: T4PQQdTkrEofhd)
note: it should have the exact same name as listed above)
Details about window event usage.
Step 3 - replace the existing consent tracking script with the new one, or add the new script if none currently exists.
Navigate to your Shopify layout and open the
theme.liquidfile.Locate the Shopify Consent Tracking API script within your HTML. You can refer to this old documentation to confirm you've identified the correct script.
Remove the old script and replace it with the new script provided below, placing it at the bottom of your
<head>section.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.Shopify.loadFeatures(
[{ name: 'consent-tracking-api', version: '0.1' }],
error => {
if (error) throw error
console.log('** Shopify Consent Tracking API loaded')
const syncTrackingConsent = consentObj => {
window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.setTrackingConsent(consentObj, () => {
console.log("** UC consent synced with Shopify Customer Privacy API")
console.log("- Shopify consent:")
console.log(window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.currentVisitorConsent())
console.log("--------------------------")
})
}
window.addEventListener("ucEvents", function (e) {
if (e.detail && e.detail.event == "consent_status") {
analyticsConsent = e.detail['Shopify Analytics']
marketingConsent = e.detail['Shopify Marketing']
preferencesConsent = e.detail['Shopify Preferences']
console.log('** Usercentrics consent:')
console.log("- action: " + e.detail.action)
console.log("- type: " + e.detail.type)
console.log("- Analytics: " + analyticsConsent)
console.log("- Marketing: " + marketingConsent)
console.log("- Preferences: " + preferencesConsent)
let consentObj = {}
switch (e.detail.action) {
case 'onDenyAllServices':
consentObj = {
analytics: false,
marketing: false,
preferences: false,
sale_of_data: false
}
break;
case 'onAcceptAllServices':
case 'onNonEURegion':
consentObj = {
analytics: true,
marketing: true,
preferences: true,
sale_of_data: true
}
break;
default:
consentObj = {
analytics: analyticsConsent,
marketing: marketingConsent,
preferences: preferencesConsent
}
}
syncTrackingConsent(consentObj)
}
})
}
)
</script>
This is what your file will look like:
Step 3 - ensure the script is working
Visit your Shopify store's website and open the Developer Tools console.
Confirm that you see the log message: "** Shopify Consent Tracking API loaded"
Open the Usercentrics banner and modify your consent preferences.
Verify that the console displays the log: "** UC consent synced with Shopify Customer Privacy API," along with the consent details, ensuring it is properly synced.
