Consentik Cookie for Shopify offers a powerful feature called Block User Interaction Until Consent, allowing you to display an overlay that prevents users from interacting with your store’s content un
When enabled, this feature places a customizable overlay behind your cookie banner and over your store’s content. Visitors cannot interact with your website—such as clicking links, scrolling, or filling out forms—until they accept or decline your cookie policy. This approach is especially useful for stores that need to strictly enforce consent before collecting any data.
Consentik Cookie lets you tailor the overlay to match your store’s style and provide the right user experience:
Blur Level: Adjust how much the overlay blurs the content underneath. A higher blur makes your store less visible until consent is given.
Opacity: Set the transparency of the overlay, from barely noticeable to almost completely opaque.
These options make it easy to balance compliance with aesthetics, ensuring your site is both effective and visually appealing.
Open the Consentik App Dashboard from your Shopify admin.
Navigate to the Settings -> Behavior -> Block Interaction Until Consent settings.
Enable the feature to activate the overlay.
Adjust the Blur and Opacity sliders to achieve the desired appearance.
Save your changes and preview how the overlay looks on your store.
When a new visitor lands on your website, the overlay appears immediately, blocking all interactions except with the cookie banner.
After the user provides their consent choice (accept or decline), the overlay disappears and your store becomes fully interactive.
Use a moderate blur and opacity to keep your brand visible while still drawing attention to the consent banner.
Clearly explain why interaction is blocked in your cookie message for a better user experience.
Regularly review your consent flow to ensure it meets both legal requirements and customer expectations.
