# My theme has an option for GDPR banner, am I covered?

**Many Shopify themes provide options to show a banner about GDPR that give the ability to your visitors to click on a button to accept your policy.**

Although this seems to be a convenient solution, in fact **is not a compliant solution** for your store because this is just a visual banner and it not dealing with your store's tracking technologies.

**GDPR** requires a lot more than a banner that visually informed your visitors for your privacy and cookie policy.

In order to be compliant with GDPR you need to cover the following requirements:

* Provide a banner about the use of cookies and other tracking technologies and request for consent by the visitor.
* Ideally your banner should give to your visitors detailed consent options.
* Your banner depending the user's consent preferences should allow or decline cookies and other tracking technologies in the future visits of this visitor.
* Your banner needs to be integrated with [Shopify's Customer Privacy API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-privacy).
* Provide a [cookie policy](/en/article/cookie-policy-generator-13r4tts/) page with a detailed and up to date list of tracking technologies of your store.
* You need to collect the [consents](/en/article/consent-tracking-o5ya99/) from your visitors and be able to find a specific consent in case of an audit.
* You need to be able to handle [data subject requests](/en/article/about-customer-data-requests-5mgbv7/) from your customers.
