# Consent Dialogs (New Version)

### Overview

The **Consent dialogs** section defines how the cookie banner is presented to visitors on your Shopify store.

In the new banner version, the banner behavior is separated into two main concepts:

* **Cookie Dialog** – how the consent dialog is presented to visitors.
* **Consent model** – how consent is interpreted and applied.

This separation allows merchants to choose the **user interface of the banner** independently from the **consent policy applied to visitors**.

### Banner Modes

Banner modes define **how the consent dialog appears** and what interaction options visitors see.

You can select the banner mode inside:

**Settings > Banner > Layout > Consent dialogs**

The available banner modes are:

### Cookie Notice

This mode displays a **simple informational banner** to visitors.

The banner informs users that the website uses cookies and allows them to confirm their choice using the available buttons.

Characteristics:

* Minimal banner interface
* Focused on basic consent acknowledgement
* No cookie category configuration directly from the banner

This mode is often used when stores prefer a **simple notification-style banner**.

### Cookie Notice & Preferences

This mode displays a **cookie notice together with access to cookie preferences**.

Visitors can:

* Accept or decline cookies
* Open the **preferences panel** to manage cookie categories individually

Characteristics:

* Standard consent dialog layout
* Allows granular control over cookie categories
* Includes a **Preferences button or link** for detailed choices

### Preferences Only

This mode focuses directly on **cookie preferences management**.

Instead of displaying a simple notice first, the banner immediately presents the **preferences interface** where visitors can manage cookie categories.

Characteristics:

* Direct access to cookie settings
* Suitable for stores that want visitors to **configure consent immediately**
* Displays cookie categories and controls from the start

### Consent Model

The **Consent model** defines how the banner processes visitor consent and how cookies are activated based on user interaction and location.

After selecting the **Banner Mode**, you must configure the consent behavior in:

**Settings > Consent model & Regions**

The consent model determines **when cookies are allowed and how consent must be given** for different visitors.

Pandectes supports multiple consent models such as:

* **Strict opt-in (GDPR style)**
* **Standard opt-out (CCPA style)**
* **Auto-pilot geolocation mode**
* **Custom configuration for region-specific policies**

### Key Points to Understand

* **Banner mode** defines the **user interface of the consent dialog**.
* **Consent model** defines the **policy that controls cookie behavior**.
* These two configurations are **separate in the new banner version**.
* The banner mode is configured in **Consent dialogs**, while consent behavior is configured in **Consent model & regions**.

This separation provides greater flexibility when configuring how consent is presented and processed.
