Free; paid from $10/mo per domain
A general (not Shopify-native) CMP with a Shopify app, and a strong pick if you run a Shopify store alongside other sites and want one consistent tool. Notably, it includes Google Consent Mode v2 on every tier including free. Its Shopify-specific app has far fewer reviews than the native apps, reflecting Shopify adoption rather than its wider market position.
Pros
- Consent Mode v2 on all tiers incl. free
- Consistent across Shopify + other platforms
- Google Gold-certified CMP
Cons
- Not Shopify-native; thin Shopify review base
- Pageview-metered pricing
Free; Premium $5.99/mo
iubenda’s Shopify offering is now delivered through the Complianz Consent app (Complianz joined the iubenda Group in late 2024). Its $5.99 Premium tier is the cheapest all-in paid option that still includes Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF, plus a privacy-policy generator. Note the app is branded “Complianz Consent,” not “iubenda,” on the App Store.
Pros
- Cheapest all-in paid tier ($5.99)
- Consent Mode v2 + IAB TCF included
- Privacy-policy generator bundled
Cons
- Brand confusion (listed as “Complianz Consent”)
- Lowest rating of the group (~4.4)
Also worth a look: Consentik, a Shopify-native app whose free tier uniquely includes Google Consent Mode v2 and geolocation — a strong free option if you don’t need the larger apps’ track record. For non-Shopify sites, see our best cookie consent tools for small business guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best cookie consent app for Shopify in 2026?
For most Shopify stores, a Shopify-native app is the best fit — Consentmo (ranked #1 in Shopify’s category) and Pandectes (the most-reviewed) are the two safest defaults, both 5.0-rated with full compliance ladders and Shopify Customer Privacy API integration. CookieYes is the best choice if you want one CMP across Shopify and other platforms.
Which Shopify cookie consent apps support Google Consent Mode v2?
All the major ones support it, but the tier varies. CookieYes includes Consent Mode v2 on every tier including free; Consentik also includes it free; Pandectes, Consentmo and Avada include it from their ~$9 entry tier; the iubenda/Complianz app includes it on its $5.99 Premium tier.
Is there a good free cookie consent app for Shopify?
Yes. Several native apps have free tiers with unlimited banner impressions. Consentik’s free tier is notable because it includes Google Consent Mode v2 and geolocation at no cost, which most free plans do not.
Do I need IAB TCF for a Shopify store?
Only if you run programmatic/EU ad-tech beyond Google’s own tools. For most Shopify stores using Google Ads and Analytics, Google Consent Mode v2 is what matters; IAB TCF is typically reserved for the top tier of each app.
