How to show Do not sell or share my data on the banner (New Version)

Overview


It covers the in-banner opt-out toggle. The separate Do not sell my data storefront page is a different feature.


US state privacy laws can require a way to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data. On the New Banner you can show a Do not sell or share my data control inside the consent dialogs.


Shopify decides which visitors are in a sale-of-data jurisdiction. Pandectes shows the toggle only when both are configured:


  1. Shopify Customer privacy sale-of-data / DNS regions
  2. Pandectes Enable toggle on Cookie banner > Layout


Visitors in regions Shopify does not treat as sale-of-data (for example many EU tests) will not see the toggle. That is expected.


New Banner. For stores with the New version badge on Cookie banner. On the Legacy Banner, see How to switch to the new banner or switch back to the previous version.


Before you start


  • Use the New Banner (not Legacy). Legacy does not include this Layout toggle.
  • Know which US states you need to cover, or use Shopify’s automated customer privacy recommendations.


Step 1: Configure Shopify Customer privacy


  1. In Pandectes, open Cookie banner > Layout.
  2. Find Do not sell or share my data.
  3. Click Configure regions (opens Shopify Settings > Customer privacy, DNS / sale-of-data regions).
  4. Enable opt-out for the states you need, or use Shopify automated settings.
  5. Save in Shopify.


Without this step, the Pandectes toggle can be on while visitors never see it.


Step 2: Enable the toggle in Pandectes


  1. Stay on Cookie banner > Layout.
  2. Under Do not sell or share my data, enable Enable toggle.
  3. Save.


Do not sell or share my data toggle on the Layout tab


Step 3: Edit the label


  1. Open the Content tab.
  2. Find Do not sell or share my data.
  3. Edit the opt-out label if you want different wording.
  4. Save.


Optional: Dedicated opt-out page


You can still publish a Do not sell my data page from All settings > Do not sell my data (theme app block) and link it from the footer or privacy policy. That page is extra; it does not replace the in-banner toggle.


Verify


  • Test from a US-covered context when you can (VPN, US market, or Shopify preview for that region).
  • Confirm the toggle appears on the notice or preferences dialog.
  • After opt-out, Shopify Customer Privacy sale_of_data should reflect the choice.


Do not expect this toggle on every EU visit. Sale-of-data visibility follows Shopify’s region rules, not only Pandectes Privacy worldwide visibility.
