Add the Privacy Center to your website (Shopify)

Open a Privacy Center page on your Shopify Store to facilitate all Data Subject rights in one place

It only takes a few minutes to get the Privacy Center live on your Shopify Store. Once live, you’ll be able to show your policies, cookie details, and Data Access Gateway on your website to visitors instantaneously.

Add Privacy Center

  1. Login to your Shopify Store (here).
  2. Add a new page for your Privacy Center. 
    1. Under the Sales Channels section in the menu bar on the left, click on Online Store then Pages.
    2. Click on the Add page button on the top right corner.
      1. Title should be "Privacy Center"
      2. Content can be left blank.
    3. Click on the Save button.
    4. Click on Edit website SEO and make a note of the URL and handle for the new page. It should be https://yourstore.com/pages/privacy-center.
  3. Next, you will need to edit some code to display the content of the Privacy Center page.
    1. Under the Sales Channels section in the menu bar on the left, click on Themes then Actions > Edit Code.
    2. Go to Layout folder and open the theme.liquid file.
    3. Copy the script from Control Panel > Comply > Website Installation > Head Tag Script section and add this before the line containing </head>. You may use the code in the block below to avoid this script from loading on other pages:

      Example:


      {% # PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE BELOW CODE %}
      {% if page.handle contains 'privacy-center' %}
      {% else %}

d. Copy the code block above and paste this before the line containing { % section 'header' % }. Any code/content put within this condition will apply to the Privacy Center page only.

e. Copy the script from Control Panel > Comply > Website Installation > Body Tag Script section and add this within the condition from step 3d to prevent the store header and footer from overlapping on the Privacy Center page.

4. Create a new link in your website footer called “Privacy Center” that directs to your new Privacy Center page:

    1. Under the Sales Channels section in the menu bar on the left, click on Navigation then Footer menu.
    2. Click on Add menu item button.
      1. Set Name as "Privacy Center"
      2. For Link, select Pages > Privacy Center
    3. Click the Add button then save menu. 

That's it! Your Privacy Center is ready for the world to see :)
