Cookie consent on BigCommerce.

Script Manager is the control point for scripts registered there and records their scope and consent category. Theme code, checkout and app-managed surfaces still require separate review.

Adding the snippet

Add the runtime through Script Manager, scoped to the intended storefront pages and placed early enough for registered gating. Script Manager lists the entries managed through that feature, including their location and scope, but it is not an inventory of code embedded in the theme, checkout or an app’s separate delivery path.

Script Manager, head, all pages

<script
  src="https://strongprivacy.com/embed/v1.js"
  data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  data-api-base="https://strongprivacy.com"
  data-privacy-url="/privacy"
  data-platform="custom"
  defer
></script>

Use Script Manager as your audit list

  • Review every Script Manager entry and assign its consent category from its actual purpose
  • Entries scoped to checkout are a separate surface with their own constraints
  • Apps installed from the marketplace often add their own entries; those are the ones to look at first
  • A scan of the live storefront is still required: Script Manager shows intent, not behaviour

Common questions

Does the snippet apply to checkout?

Checkout is a separate surface with platform constraints on what can run. Scope deliberately, scan it separately, and be clear in your declaration about which cookies belong to the platform.
