Bring your shop into compliance with the new guidelines and the recommendation of the CNIL, effective as of March 31, 2021

Advanced Cookie Banner is THE ONLY module for PrestaShop compliant with the latest regulations, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) of May 2018, which makes it mandatory to collect the informed consent of visitors regarding the installation of cookies on their browser, or the recommendation of the CNIL of October 2020 regarding the methods of application of the law. We continually update the module as new laws are passed. For example, it will be compliant with the European ePrivacy (ePR) regulation on the protection of personal data when it comes into force (an update to a major version of the module will be required).

In accordance with Google's official interstitial guidelines, it has been fully developed to comply with the law while providing the best possible user experience. Not only does the module allow you to display a request for authorization to set cookies, but it goes much further: your visitors have the possibility, in a very simple and quick way, to accept or refuse in 1 click all cookies or to choose the type of cookies (statistics and/or marketing) which they authorize the installation. This gives them full autonomy and should increase their satisfaction and therefore your reputation. The modules whose visitors have refused the installation of cookies on their terminal will be blocked in order to respect their wishes.

In practice, back-office side, the module offers you to sort the modules between those which don't need user consent to run and those that require it before being activated. For these latter, you can separate them into two types of cookies: those for statistical purposes and those for marketing ones. When a visitor arrives on your site he has the possibility to accept one of the two modules types, neither of the two or both.

Optimized for mobile, Advanced Cookie Banner will allow you to bring your shop into compliance whatever the device (computer, smartphone, tablet, ...), the operating system or the browser used.

Behind this "cookie blocker" feature, there is a technical challenge... Indeed, all modules that offer this feature have chosen the easiest way, and modify the PrestaShop's default behavior by installing an override in the core of your shop. But, overrides can be more problematic than the solution they are supposed to give you. This is why, we choose with our "Advanced Cookie Banner" module, not to use any overrides. We offer you a reliable and robust module.
