Deploy the Arqam360 consent widget on your website. Choose your platform below for specific instructions.

Install via the Shopify App Store — the widget deploys automatically via Theme App Extension. No code changes needed.

Use the split-loading version for better performance on slower connections (common in MENA markets).

Verify Installation

After adding the script, visit your site and confirm the consent banner appears. Check the browser console for any errors.

Server-Side Forwarding

Forward consent signals server-side to advertising platforms. More reliable than client-side pixels and required for some compliance scenarios.

Meta Conversions API

Send consent-aware events to Meta (Facebook) server-side. Requires a Pixel ID and access token from Meta Events Manager.

Server-Side GTM

Forward consent updates to your sGTM container. GCM v2 signals are automatically mapped.

GA4 Measurement Protocol

Send events directly to GA4 server-side. Useful for tracking without client-side JavaScript.

Routing Rules

Create rules to control which consent events are forwarded to which platforms. Filter by jurisdiction, consent state, or domain.

Server-side forwarding is the recommended approach for enterprise compliance. It ensures consent signals reach platforms even when ad blockers are present.
