What are cookies?

Cookies are saved files on the computer of the visitor to your site; it’s a temporary saving place for data. To personalize customer’s experience, information that is saved in cookies is used to link customers to their shopping carts, count traffic patterns, and enhance the effectiveness of the promotions. To follow requirements of legislation in many countries regarding the use of cookies and to obtain customer consent, Magento suggests store owners a selection of these two methods :

Method 1: Implied Consent

In this method, customers have a clear understanding that cookies are an essential part of online store operations, and by visiting your web store, have indirectly granted permission to use them. The reason for taking implied consent is to provide enough information for a customer to make an informed decision. The web store will make a pop-up message at the top of first-page customers visit, explains how cookies are used, include a link to the privacy policy of web store. In the privacy policy page, store owners should tell what kind of information that your online store collects, and how is it used.

Method 2: Expressed Consent

In cookie restriction mode, the operating of your online store requires customers to confirm their approval of any cookies can be saved to their devices. Without access granted, many store features will not allow. For example, if Google Analytics is available in your store, it can be activated only after the customer has granted permission to use cookies.
