When a E-commerce+ subscription is added to a website, Mono automatically whitelists the domain shopsettings.com in order to allow the embedded shop to load on the website, even if the visitor has not consented to third-party cookies.
This solution provides the best user experience and is fully GDPR-compliant as all cookies set by Ecwid are strictly necessary for the shop to function. No cookies for statistics, marketing etc. are set.
If shopsettings.com wasn't whitelisted by Mono, the embedded Ecwid shop would not load on websites until visitors had first consented to third-party cookies and then refreshed their browser to allow the Ecwid script to load.
You can read more about how Mono's cookie-consent features works here.
Do I need an Ecwid cookie banner?
Ecwid also provides a cookie banner that can be triggered when the storefront loads. If you have already set up a Mono cookie banner, there is no need to activate the Ecwid cookie banner. Even if you're tracking visitor behavior through Ecwid (they offer sync to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.) the Mono cookie banner will block these from setting cookies until the visitor has accepted third-party cookies.
List of cookies set by Ecwid
Depending on how your E-commerce+/Ecwid shop is configured, the embedded script may be setting up to a total of 15 cookies. Note that all the cookies are categorized as being strictly necessary for the shop to function and therefore do not require explicit visitor consent.
