The Consentl module connects your PrestaShop shop to Consentl. It inserts the loader right after the opening <head> tag, adds a "Cookie settings" link and ready-made pages for the cookie declaration, privacy requests and the EU withdrawal form, and provides shortcodes and a theme widget. Texts, colours, regions and consent records are managed in the Consentl dashboard.

Requirements

  • PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, PHP 7.2 or later. Classic, Hummingbird and any theme that renders <head> normally.
  • A Consentl account (Free plan available).

Install

  1. Download the module zip from Downloads.
  2. In the back office, go to Modules → Module Manager → Upload a module and drop the zip.
  3. Click Configure.

Connect your site

On the module page, click Connect with Consentl. Sign in or create a free account, pick or create the site, and you return to the module page with "Connected" and the key saved for the shop context you were editing. You can also paste the site key (sk_ + 24 characters).

Multistore: settings are saved for the context selected in the shop switcher (all shops, a group or one shop). Usually each shop has its own site key.

Configure

Setting Default Notes
Show the Consentl banner Yes No = the loader is not printed; the key is kept
Banner language Automatic The language of the page (de-DE → de)
Script placement First element in the page head Switch to "Theme hook displayHeader" only if a cache or optimisation module rewrites the page after PrestaShop renders it
Footer link to cookie settings Yes Adds "Cookie settings" to the footer
Link in the customer account Yes "Privacy and cookies" → privacy request page

Pages, shortcodes and widgets

  • Ready-made pages: /module/consentl/page?type=cookies, ?type=privacy and ?type=withdrawal (with friendly URLs). Link them from your footer or CMS pages.
  • Shortcodes in CMS pages and product descriptions: [consentl_declaration], [consentl_request], [consentl_withdrawal].
  • Theme templates: {widget name='consentl' type='declaration'} (or request, withdrawal).

The withdrawal form needs the Pro plan or higher and must be switched on in the dashboard.

Check that it works

  1. View the page source: the first element in <head> is the Consentl loader with l= set to the page language.
  2. The footer has a "Cookie settings" link that opens the preferences.
  3. With Combine, compress and cache (CCC) turned on, the loader is still first and unchanged.

Other modules

  • Official GDPR module (psgdpr): Consentl registers with it. Consentl stores no customer data in PrestaShop (consent records are pseudonymous and kept in your Consentl account), so customer export returns no rows and deletion succeeds. psgdpr's consent checkboxes keep working.
  • Other cookie banner modules (for example lgcookieslaw, cookiesplus, iqitcookielaw) are detected and a warning is shown. Disable their banner to avoid two banners.
  • Google modules follow Google Consent Mode, which Consentl sets before their tags on Pro and higher, with Consent Mode switched on in the dashboard.

For developers

Consentl::isAllowed('marketing') reads a stored decision from the consentl cookie, not region defaults, and full-page caches are not re-evaluated. Prefer <script type="text/plain" data-consentl="analytics">…</script>.

Limitations

  • If a cache or optimisation module rewrites the page after PrestaShop's output hook, the loader may not be first: use the displayHeader placement or add the tag at the top of your theme's head.tpl.
  • Scripts that other modules or the theme print before the loader run before Consentl.
  • When you uninstall the module, all its settings are removed. Your consent log stays in your Consentl account.
