# Shopify Customer Privacy API

> Sync consent with Shopify's storefront so first-party pixels and Shop Pay respect the visitor's choices.

Shopify's [Customer Privacy API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-privacy) is the framework Shopify and its apps use to check whether a visitor has consented to tracking. When the integration is enabled, CookieChimp updates the API as the user's preferences change, so Shopify's analytics, Shop Pay tracking, and any privacy-aware Shopify apps adjust automatically.

## Prerequisites

* The CookieChimp snippet installed on your Shopify theme — see the [Shopify installation guide](/installation/shopify) if you haven't done this yet.
* Shopify's built-in cookie banner disabled at **Settings → Customer privacy → Cookie banner** (it conflicts with CookieChimp).

## How do I enable it?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Integrations page">
    Go to **Integrations** in your CookieChimp dashboard and find the Shopify Customer Privacy API card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle it on">
    CookieChimp will start signalling consent to Shopify's Customer Privacy API on page load and whenever the visitor updates their choices.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How do I verify it's working?

Open your storefront in a browser console and check Shopify's API directly:

```javascript theme={null}
// After accepting marketing consent
window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.userCanBeTracked();        // true
window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.getTrackingConsent();      // "yes"

// After declining marketing consent
window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.userCanBeTracked();        // false
window.Shopify.customerPrivacy.getTrackingConsent();      // "no"
```
