Best Shopify Cookie Consent Apps for Small Stores

How we choose

We only publish researched comparisons, and this page follows the same process we describe on how we score. We checked each vendor's own pricing page, help center, or Shopify App Store listing on 6 November 2026, and we recorded the exact tier where headline features like Google Consent Mode v2, automatic cookie blocking, and consent logs actually live. We skipped any app whose vendor did not publish clear pricing or plan details. We also treated vendor compliance language carefully: when a vendor says an app supports a regulation, we report it as a feature claim, not as a legal conclusion for your store. If you want the wider category view, start from our ecommerce apps hub and compare this shortlist against your traffic, your ad stack, and the regions you ship to.

1. Pandectes GDPR Compliance

Best for: Small stores that want the banner, the cookie scan, and shopper data requests handled inside one app from day one.

Pandectes is the most complete starter package we reviewed. The vendor pricing page shows a Basic plan that is free forever and includes the cookie banner, a cookie scan with automatic categorization, the consent list, a customer data requests page, and Global Privacy Control support (Source: Pandectes pricing and plans). Google Consent Mode v2 arrives on the Plus plan at $9/month, the cookie auto blocker and region based rules arrive on Premium at $29/month, and a checkout block is also a Premium feature (Source: Pandectes pricing and plans). The vendor also states plainly that no app can promise legal compliance on its own, which is the kind of honesty we like to see in this category.

Pros

• Free Basic plan covers the banner, scanning, consent records, and the data requests page most small stores need first
• Paid plans are not limited by page views, per the vendor pricing page, so a traffic spike does not trigger a plan jump
• 24/7 live chat support is listed even for the free plan

Cons

• Google Consent Mode v2 is not on the free plan, so stores running Google Ads need Plus at $9/month from the start
• The cookie auto blocker, region rules, and checkout block all sit on Premium at $29/month, not on Plus
• The vendor itself notes the app alone cannot promise compliance, so you still own your policy wording and setup choices

Pricing: Free Basic plan; Plus $9/month, Premium $29/month, Enterprise $49/month at https://pandectes.io/, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: Your only need is a bare banner and you want the cheapest paid tier in this roundup, because Cookiebot Essential starts lower at $6/month.

Unique detail: The free plan includes Global Privacy Control support, a signal many rivals only mention on paid tiers, per the vendor feature table.

Fits: Solo and small team stores on any order volume, since pricing is feature based rather than order based.

Pick this if you want one app that pairs a proper consent banner with the shopper data request plumbing you would otherwise bolt on later.

2. Consentmo GDPR Compliance

Best for: Stores with busy product pages and ad pixels that do not want a page view meter running.

Consentmo prices by feature tier instead of traffic. The vendor help center lists Standard at $10/month, Plus at $37/month, and Max at $99/month, with unlimited impressions on every plan and a 7-day free trial on paid plans (Source: Consentmo plans and pricing). Google Consent Mode v2 is included from Standard, IAB TCF v2.4 support sits on Max, and the data subject request export as a spreadsheet file is limited to Plus and Max (Source: Consentmo plans and pricing). For a store whose sessions climb every time a TikTok or a sale lands, the flat impressions model keeps the consent line on your bill predictable.

Pros

• Unlimited impressions on all plans, so traffic spikes never change your consent app bill
• Google Consent Mode v2 is included on the entry Standard tier at $10/month
• Annual billing works out at ten times the monthly price, which is two months free compared with paying monthly

Cons

• Data request exports are limited to Plus and Max, so Standard stores cannot pull the spreadsheet export
• The EU withdrawal right widget is also limited to Plus and Max tiers
• IAB TCF v2.4 support requires the Max plan at $99/month, which is steep for a small store that only needs it for one ad partner

Pricing: Standard $10/month, Plus $37/month, Max $99/month at https://support.consentmo.com/en/articles/8028878-consentmo-plans-and-pricing, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: You want a free plan to start, because the tiers we checked are paid with a trial rather than a free forever option.

Unique detail: The vendor pricing notes state that impressions are unlimited on every plan, which is rare in a category built on page view quotas.

Fits: Small to mid size stores with high page views per order, including content heavy stores and sale driven shops.

Pick this if your traffic swings hard month to month and you want your consent costs to stay flat anyway.

3. CookieYes

Best for: Stores that think in page views and want a clear allowance with room to grow.

CookieYes sells its Shopify app in page view bands. The Shopify App Store listing shows Basic at $10/month with 600 pages per scan and 100,000 page views a month, and Pro at $25/month with 4,000 pages per scan and 300,000 page views a month (Source: CookieYes Shopify App Store listing). Custom CSS is included on Basic, and the listing offers a 14-day free trial (Source: CookieYes Shopify App Store listing). The per tier allowances are generous for small stores, and the scan size matters if your catalog and blog run to hundreds of URLs that each set or read cookies.

Pros

• Entry paid tier includes 100,000 page views a month, which covers most small stores with headroom
• Custom CSS on Basic lets you match the banner to your theme without a developer
• Scan allowance jumps to 4,000 pages on Pro, which suits bigger catalogs and content libraries

Cons

• Page view caps are real: pass 100,000 monthly page views on Basic and you are shopping for the next tier
• Scan caps can miss pages on large stores, since Basic scans 600 pages per scan
• The standalone CookieYes web plans show different prices than the Shopify app listing, so compare the listing price for your store, not the headline web price

Pricing: Basic $10/month, Pro $25/month at https://apps.shopify.com/cookieyes, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: Your traffic is spiky and unpredictable, because an impressions based plan like Consentmo will not meter you.

Unique detail: The listing prices both the scan size and the page view allowance per tier, so you can size the plan against your actual URL count before you buy.

Fits: Small stores under roughly 100,000 page views a month, and growing stores that can forecast traffic.

Pick this if you want simple published allowances and a banner you can restyle yourself.

4. Cookiebot CMP for Shopify

Best for: Very small stores that need Consent Mode v2 on a free plan, and multilingual stores that can justify the Pro tier.

Cookiebot's Shopify app is the budget standout we reviewed. The vendor's Shopify page shows a free forever plan, Essential at $6/month, and Pro at $30/month, with Google Consent Mode v2, blocking of tracking until consent, unlimited manual scans, and unlimited pages on every plan (Source: Cookiebot CMP for Shopify). The difference between tiers is mainly language count: one language on Free, up to two on Essential, and up to 60 on Pro, per the vendor support pages (Source: Cookiebot Shopify plans). The vendor also describes regional consent handling for the EU, UK, Brazil, South Africa, and California on its Shopify page.

Pros

• Google Consent Mode v2 and blocking until consent are included on the free plan
• Unlimited pages and unlimited manual scans on every tier, so catalog size is not a pricing factor
• Essential at $6/month is the cheapest paid tier in this roundup

Cons

• The free plan covers one language only, so bilingual stores start paying right away
• The vendor states the Shopify app runs separately from a regular Cookiebot account, so an existing Cookiebot subscription does not carry into the app
• Full language coverage needs Pro at $30/month, which is a big jump from $6 for stores that only need three or four languages

Pricing: Free plan; Essential $6/month, Pro $30/month at https://www.cookiebot.com/en/cookiebot-cmp-for-shopify/, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: You already pay for a separate Cookiebot account and expected one bill, because the vendor treats the Shopify app as its own product.

Unique detail: The vendor support note that the Shopify app works independently from an existing Cookiebot setup is the kind of fine print that saves a confused afternoon.

Fits: Tiny stores on the free plan, and international stores that truly sell in many languages on Pro.

Pick this if your budget is near zero today but your ad stack still needs consent signals done properly.

5. Consentik

Best for: Small EU facing stores that want geolocation rules and a consent log without a big subscription.

Consentik's App Store listing leads with geolocation based display rules, consent logs, and automatic translation of the banner. The listing shows PLUS at $7.99/month, ADVANCED at $19.99/month, and UNLIMITED at $39.99/month (Source: Consentik Shopify App Store listing). The vendor description also lists an IAB TCF v2.2 banner among its features (Source: Consentik Shopify App Store listing). For a small store whose visitors mostly arrive from two or three countries, rules that show the right banner style per region keep the prompt relevant instead of noisy.

Pros

• Paid plans start at $7.99/month, under most rivals in this roundup
• Geolocation rules let you vary the banner by visitor region from one app
• Consent logs are a headline feature, which helps you answer shopper questions about recorded choices

Cons

• The listing we checked shows paid tiers only, so there is no free forever plan to start on
• Its IAB TCF support is listed as v2.2, while Consentmo lists the newer TCF v2.4 on its top tier
• The three tier names do not spell out limits in the listing summary, so you need to read the full plan grid before you commit

Pricing: PLUS $7.99/month, ADVANCED $19.99/month, UNLIMITED $39.99/month at https://apps.shopify.com/eu-cookies-notification, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: You want every plan limit published in one simple table before you install, because other vendors here present their tiers more plainly.

Unique detail: Automatic banner translation is built into the listing pitch, handy for stores that sell across EU language borders without a translation app for the banner itself.

Fits: Small stores with mostly EU traffic and modest page view counts.

Pick this if region aware banners and a consent log matter more to you than a free tier.

6. Avada GDPR Cookie Consent

Best for: Stores that want third party cookies blocked automatically until a shopper agrees.

Avada's consent app focuses on blocking. The vendor describes automatic blocking of third party cookies before consent, and its App Store listing shows Professional at $9.95/month, Advanced at $23.95/month, and Enterprise at $34/month (Source: Avada GDPR Cookie Consent listing). Google Consent Mode v2 is listed from the Professional tier, and the IAB TCF v2.2 banner sits on the Enterprise tier (Source: Avada GDPR Cookie Consent listing). If your theme and apps load a stack of pixels the moment a page opens, automatic blocking is the feature that keeps the banner honest instead of decorative.

Pros

• Automatic third party cookie blocking is the core pitch, not a top tier extra
• Professional starts at $9.95/month with Google Consent Mode v2 included
• Top tier at $34/month still lands under the top tiers of most rivals here

Cons

• The IAB TCF v2.2 banner requires Enterprise at $34/month, so ad funded stores cannot stay on the entry tier
• The listing we checked presents paid plans, so test carefully during the trial before the first charge
• Feature split across three tiers means mid level needs can push you from $9.95 to $23.95 quickly

Pricing: Professional $9.95/month, Advanced $23.95/month, Enterprise $34/month at https://apps.shopify.com/avada-cookie-bar, checked 6 November 2026

Skip it if: You need IAB TCF support on a budget, because the TCF banner here sits on the top tier only.

Unique detail: The vendor markets the auto blocker around the exact pixels small stores actually run, including social and video pixels, per its product page at avada.io.

Fits: Small stores with several marketing pixels and apps loading on every page view.

Pick this if blocking cookies before consent, not just recording consent, is your main buying reason.
