An Arabic cookie banner for your Shopify store
Install a consent app that writes its banner in Arabic, lays it out right to left, and shows it to visitors on your Arabic storefront. Arqam360's Shopify app does that: turn on its app embed in your theme, and the banner asks before analytics and advertising cookies load, then passes each choice to Shopify and Google.

Set it up in four steps
Install the app
From the Shopify App Store. Your Arqam360 account is created for you, and billing goes through Shopify.
Turn on the app embed
Online Store › Themes › Customize › App embeds › Arqam360 consent banner › Save.
Add Arabic to your store
Under Settings › Languages. Visitors on the Arabic storefront see the Arabic banner; the English storefront shows English.
Check it in a private window
Open your Arabic storefront, confirm the banner appears before you choose, then run a free scan to see what still loads first.
What the banner does on Shopify
Arabic banner, right to left
Written in Arabic, not machine-translated, shown on Arabic storefronts, with English beside it.
Switched on from your theme
The banner is a theme app embed: after installing, turn it on under Online Store › Themes › Customize › App embeds. No code to paste.
Shopify hears the answer
Each choice is written to Shopify's Customer Privacy API, so Shopify and its pixels follow the visitor's answer.
Google tags wait
Consent Mode v2 starts denied and updates when the visitor chooses, so Google Analytics and Google Ads tags hold back until then.
Meta Pixel held too
A script-blocking setting holds known advertising scripts, such as the Meta Pixel, until consent. It is off by default, because blocking scripts can break a storefront: switch it on, then check your store.
Every choice recorded
Each answer is kept with its date and time, so you can show who agreed and when.

Does Shopify's own cookie banner show in Arabic?
Check your storefront. Shopify's banner is set up from its customer privacy settings and follows your store's languages, so open the Arabic storefront and read what visitors see. What matters as much is what it governs: Shopify says its banner covers Shopify's own cookies and pixels, not pixels you added by hand or through apps.
Will the Arabic banner slow my store down?
The banner loads from a theme app embed, with no theme code edits, and asks first before analytics and advertising tags run. Run a free scan before and after to see what your store loads.
Can visitors switch between Arabic and English?
The banner follows the storefront language: Arabic on the Arabic storefront, English on the English one, laid out right to left in Arabic.
Do I need a cookie banner if my store is in Saudi Arabia?
If the store runs analytics or advertising tags, yes in practice. Under the Saudi PDPL those tags normally need the visitor's explicit, informed consent first, asked for each purpose, recorded, and open to withdrawal.
How much does it cost?
Free for 1 domain and 10,000 pageviews a month. Pro is $29.99 a month with a 14-day free trial, and Managed, where we set it up for you, is $99.99 a month. Billing goes through Shopify.
