🍪Consentio

Cookie banner for BigCommerce

Comply with GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2 on your BigCommerce site with a banner that really blocks scripts before consent and won't slow your site down.

What almost nobody tells you: BigCommerce's native consent is limited; a CMP that blocks scripts is required for Consent Mode v2 and GDPR.

How to install it on BigCommerce

  1. 1. Create your free banner in the configurator and copy the snippet.
  2. 2. Use Storefront → Script Manager (or the theme editor) to insert the snippet in the <head> on all pages, before the marketing scripts.
  3. 3. Done! The banner appears and Consent Mode v2 is active automatically.

Using Google Tag Manager?

Why Consentio and not just any free plugin

Frequently asked questions

Is a cookie banner mandatory on BigCommerce?

Yes. If your BigCommerce site uses non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) and gets EU visitors, GDPR requires prior consent. Also, since 2024 Google Consent Mode v2 is required to use Analytics or Ads in the EEA.

Does the BigCommerce banner slow the site down?

Heavy banners do hurt your Core Web Vitals. Consentio weighs under 8 KB and uses no external dependencies, so it doesn't affect your speed or your SEO.

Does Consentio block scripts before consent on BigCommerce?

Yes. By marking your third-party scripts with type="text/plain" data-consentio="category", Consentio prevents them from running until the user accepts, which is what GDPR actually requires.
