GDPR compliance is a headache for Shopify devs — not just legally, but technically. Cookie consent banners can easily slow your site and frustrate users if implemented poorly. I faced this challenge and want to share how I tackled it with a lean, performant approach.

Why GDPR Cookie Consent Is Critical (But Hard)

• Legal pressure on Shopify stores to comply
• Common mistakes: heavy scripts, poor UX, lack of opt-out
• How bad implementations kill conversion rates and site speed

Technical Challenges for Shopify Developers

• Balancing compliance with site performance
• Handling user preferences and cookie storage cleanly
