A professional cookie module for PrestaShop 8 and 9, prepared for GDPR, ePrivacy and current e-commerce consent management standards in 2026. The module allows you to display a cookie banner aligned with good EU practices, block scripts before the user gives consent, maintain a consent register, export CSV logs and integrate with Google Consent Mode v2.
Legal Cookies Consent EU 2026 is a cookie module for PrestaShop designed for online stores operating in the European Union market. The solution helps e-commerce merchants properly manage user consent for cookies, local storage and similar technologies used by analytics, marketing and personalisation tools.
The module has been developed for stores that want to implement a transparent consent mechanism using terminology consistent with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, electronic communications privacy rules and the practice of European data protection authorities. It covers not only the front-office cookie banner, but also the administration panel, consent register, multilingual support, script blocking and diagnostic tools.
Online stores increasingly use tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, remarketing systems, live chats, social media integrations and scripts measuring campaign performance. Many of these technologies may require prior user consent if they are not strictly necessary for the operation of the store.
In practice, simply informing the user about cookies may not be enough. A mechanism is needed that allows consent to be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, and also allows the user to change or withdraw that consent later. The Legal Cookies Consent EU 2026 module helps implement such a process in a PrestaShop store without having to build a full consent system from scratch.
There is no separate fine for “not having a cookie module”. The risk arises when a store uses cookies or similar technologies without proper information, without valid consent, with pre-selected consent options or by launching analytics and marketing scripts before the user has made a decision.
For infringements related to the protection of personal data, the GDPR provides for administrative fines that, in more serious cases, may reach up to EUR 20,000,000 or 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the undertaking – whichever is higher. In addition, national electronic communications rules may impose obligations related to storing information or gaining access to information stored in the user’s terminal equipment.
This is why a professional cookie module for PrestaShop should not only display a banner, but also block optional cookies before consent, make refusal easy, allow users to change preferences and maintain a consent register. It is part of the legal and technical hygiene of a modern online store.
The module displays a clear banner with the options: accept all, reject optional and settings. The user can make a decision without the refusal option being hidden in later layers.
Supported categories include: necessary, preferences, analytics and marketing. Optional cookies are not pre-selected by default.
Analytics, marketing and preference scripts can be blocked until the appropriate user consent has been obtained.
The administrator can review the history of consent events, decision type, categories, consent ID, visitor ID, customer ID and the date of registration.
The module does not display the full IP address in the panel. Instead, it uses hashes, which limits the scope of data visible in the register.
Optional integration with Google Consent Mode v2 helps manage consent signals for Google tools more effectively.
In the administration panel, the module displays information about the licence assigned to the store domain and the module author. This is a practical element for keeping module distribution and PrestaShop implementations organised.
One of the key features of the module is the cookie consent register. In the PrestaShop administration panel, you can see when a user accepted all consents, rejected optional cookies, saved selected preferences or changed a previous decision.
The register includes the event date, event type, consent identifier, visitor identifier, customer identifier, selected categories, consent version, IP hash, user-agent hash, current consent state and previous consent state. Filters, CSV export and cleanup of old logs according to the configured retention period are also available.
The module allows you to adapt the cookie banner to the visual style of your store. The administrator can configure the title, message text, category descriptions, link to the privacy and cookies policy, colours, banner position, border radius, width, floating privacy settings button and custom CSS.
This makes the module suitable for both simple PrestaShop stores and more advanced implementations where the banner design needs to match a custom theme.
The module is prepared as a single ZIP package for:
The solution uses the classic PrestaShop module API, front-office and back-office hooks, and standard configuration mechanisms. Built-in diagnostics help check the consent register table, required columns, indexes, hooks, test write operation and environment compatibility.
The module currently supports 8 language versions:
Translations cover not only the front-office banner, but also the configuration back office, consent register, success and error messages, AJAX messages, CSV export, licence panel and module documentation. The module does not send e-mails, so it does not include e-mail templates.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS,Secure cookie flag on HTTPS pages,The module is intended for PrestaShop store owners, e-commerce agencies, integrators and administrators who want to implement a professional cookie consent system without building a custom solution from the ground up.
It is a good choice for stores selling in the European Union, using analytics and marketing tools, wanting to better document user consent and needing a flexible cookie module adapted to the realities of e-commerce in 2026.
Legal Cookies Consent EU 2026 is a comprehensive cookie module for PrestaShop 8 and 9, combining a modern consent banner, consent register, script blocking, Google Consent Mode v2, visual configuration, multilingual support and diagnostic tools. Instead of a simple information notice, you get a practical consent management system prepared for the current needs of the European e-commerce market.
