PrestaShop cookies

PrestaShop uses cookies to maintain store sessions and ecommerce flows, but much of the privacy risk comes from modules, analytics, and advertising tools added around the core shop.

How to audit PrestaShop

Necessary session cookies may be exempt, but PrestaShop merchants still need valid consent for analytics, remarketing, and embedded third-party services.

Audit store modules, theme scripts, checkout customisations, and any added trackers that load outside the core PrestaShop session flow.

Audit checklist

  • Separate core PrestaShop cookies from module-generated cookies in your documentation.
  • Scan homepage, product templates, cart, checkout, and customer account areas.
  • Re-audit after theme or module changes because privacy behavior often shifts silently.
  • Check that consent rejection blocks non-essential services on all storefront templates.

Where GDPR risk usually starts

  • Marketplace modules can introduce third-party cookies without making the behavior obvious in the admin.
  • Theme customisations sometimes hardcode analytics or ad scripts outside the consent workflow.
  • Custom checkout or loyalty integrations often add new tags after the initial GDPR setup.
