Klaro Cookie Consent Manager

About the Extension
Why This Plugin?
Cloud-based consent solutions like Cookiebot or OneTrust send data to external servers on every page load. That's not only a privacy risk — it also slows down your shop. With the Klaro Cookie Consent Manager, everything runs on your own server. No external requests, full control, faster load times.
The underlying Klaro library is open source — no vendor lock-in, complete transparency. And all of this at a fraction of the cost of cloud-based consent solutions.
Core Features
- Self-hosted consent manager — Klaro (v0.7.21) ships directly with the plugin
- Google Consent Mode v2 — Automatic integration with GA4 and Google Ads (required since March 2024)
- Dedicated admin module — Manage cookie services under Extensions > Cookie Consent Services
- Multi-sales-channel — Individual services and settings per sales channel
- Unlimited languages — Title and description per service in all shop languages via the native language switcher
- Purpose texts via snippets — Purpose categories (Analytics, Marketing, etc.) managed through Shopware snippets in any number of languages
- Cookie deletion on withdrawal — Automatic cleanup of defined cookies when consent is revoked
- Contextual consent — Separate consent for YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, and other embedded content
- Customizable appearance — Button colors, position, light/dark theme
- Footer link — "Cookie Settings" link in the footer so users can change their preferences anytime
How It Works
After installation, configure the plugin under Settings > Extensions > Klaro Cookie Consent. Set the privacy policy URL, consent behavior, colors, and position — all per sales channel.
Manage cookie services under Extensions > Cookie Consent Services. For each service, define a technical name, category, description, and optionally cookies to delete on consent withdrawal. A session service is created automatically during installation.
Requirements
- Shopware 6.7.x
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- Valid plugin license
Use Cases
- Shops that need GDPR-compliant Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads integration
- Operators with multiple sales channels and different consent requirements
- Shops with international audiences that need consent texts in many languages
- Privacy-conscious shop owners who want to avoid cloud-based consent solutions
- Shops with embedded YouTube videos, Google Maps, or similar third-party content
Important Notes
This plugin provides the technical infrastructure for cookie consent. For a legally compliant implementation (privacy policy, correct service assignments, country-specific requirements), a legal review is recommended.
When "Must Consent" is enabled, a modal dialog is displayed — the user must interact before they can use the shop.
