Shopware Cookie Consent: How to integrate CCM19 into your Shopware store

Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is essential for online stores.

With a Cookie Consent Manager, store operators can ensure that customers consent to cookies and that all legal requirements are met. CCM19 offers a plugin in the Shopware Store for both Shopware 6 and Shopware 5 that makes managing cookie consent much easier.

With CCM19, you can easily manage your Shopware cookie settings and ensure a transparent and legally compliant cookie consent solution.

In this article, we will show you how to integrate and configure CCM19's Cookie Consent Manager into your individual Shopware website.

Why is a cookie consent extension for Shopware important?

The legal requirements for a cookie manager have been tightened by the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to the GDPR, websites must obtain the consent of visitors before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary.

This means that users must actively consent before cookies that are used for marketing purposes or to analyze user behavior, for example, can be stored.

A properly implemented Cookie Consent Manager helps online stores to comply with these legal requirements. It enables users to make an informed decision about which cookies they want to allow and which not. This protects users' privacy and increases trust in your store, as you handle their data transparently and responsibly.

A cookie consent tool protects your website from potential legal consequences that could result from violations of the GDPR. Implementing an effective cookie consent manager in your Shopware store is therefore not only a legal necessity, but also an important step in gaining and maintaining the trust of your customers.

• Open CCM19 Dashboard: Log in to the CCM19 dashboard.
• Add domain: Add the domain of your Shopware store to create the cookie banner.
