Does Cookiebot for Shopify Support Server-Side Tagging

Short answer

Not yet. The Cookiebot for Shopify app runs client-side: it manages consent in the visitor's browser and signals the consent state to client-side tags — via Google Consent Mode and Shopify's Customer Privacy API. Server-side tagging (sGTM) is not currently supported by the app.

What this means in practice

• Scripts injected or executed from your own server, or from a server-side Google Tag Manager (sGTM) container, are outside the app's control — the app cannot block or unblock server-side requests.
• Consent choices made in the banner are therefore not automatically enforced for purely server-side integrations.

What is supported

• Client-side Google Tag Manager. Install GTM in your theme and connect your container in the app under Google Consent Mode → Connect IDs. The app then sets the default consent state before GTM loads and updates it when the visitor interacts with the banner, so tags configured with consent checks fire only according to the visitor's choice.
• Google Consent Mode v2 (Basic and Advanced). The app forwards consent signals to Google tags in the browser. A server-side GTM container can consume these consent signals downstream — if you configure your sGTM container to respect the consent parameters passed from the client. This configuration happens in your GTM setup, not in the app, and supporting it is outside the app's scope.
• Shopify's Customer Privacy API. The app passes the visitor's consent state to Shopify, so Shopify-native pixels and analytics respect consent automatically.
