Cookie Consent Manager - FAQ

The Cookie Consent Manager is mandatory for online stores in many countries. In this section, we have compiled some frequently asked questions and answers. 

Questions often arise regarding the GDPR. The linked chapter provides many more tips that go beyond the use of the Cookie Consent Manager. 

Where can I find settings for the Cookie Manager in the admin?

The provision of cookie entries by Shopware or third-party extensions is solved programmatically. Therefore, no further configuration is necessary. You can find the settings for the Cookie Consent Manager in the Shopware Admin under Settings > Shop > Master data.

How can I display the “Accept all” button?

You can find this setting as one of the options under Settings > Shop > Master data.

How do I give my customers the option to change cookie settings?

There is often an entry in the store footer that your customer can click on to change the cookie settings later. 

First create a new entry for your footer via Catalogs > Categories.

• Name - Cookie settings

• Category type - Link

• Link type - External

• Link target - /cookie/offcanvas

Now, just activate your new category, and the cookie settings can be edited with one click.

How can I customize texts?

The texts used in the Cookie Consent Manager can be found under Settings > Shop > Snippets. Enter “Cookie” in the search field to see an overview of all the texts used in the list. We recommend that you copy and save the text before making any changes.
