Vafer, as in wafer · early access, free for waitlist stores

Most cookie banners ask.
This one enforces.

Vafer holds known trackers until your shopper says yes, deletes their cookies when they say no, and shows you proof it's working — country by country, store by store.

Consent is a switch

A banner is not compliance. A switch is.

Anyone can show a bar that says "We value your privacy." The question that matters to a regulator — and to your customers — is what happens after the click. Vafer treats every consent choice as a switch: Reject stops known trackers, removes their cookies, and is recorded. Accept turns them back on. Both are enforced in the browser, not just noted somewhere.

Honest by design

No consent tool blocks everything. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you risk.

Vafer blocks known trackers plus anything you tag — and tells you, inside the app, exactly where its limits are. We'd rather you know.

How it works · no half-baked consent

Nothing reaches shoppers until you press Publish.

STEP 1

Install

The banner, per-country rules and cookie declaration arrive pre-set with the cookies every Shopify store sets.

STEP 2

Review

Adjust your per-country rules, wording and colours. Add Google, Meta or TikTok to the declaration with one click.

STEP 3

Publish

Rules are applied at the edge, close to your shopper, in 9 languages picked from their browser. Global Privacy Control is honoured automatically.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does this make my store GDPR or CCPA compliant?

No tool can promise that, and you should distrust any that does. Vafer enforces consent choices, keeps the records, and gives you the cookie disclosure — the technical requirements. Your policies and legal obligations remain yours; this is a tool, not legal advice.

Will it slow my store down?

The storefront script is 14 KB and loads without blocking your page. We're publishing measured before/after Core Web Vitals numbers rather than a claim.

What about tracking scripts pasted directly into my theme?

Honest answer: code hard-wired into your theme runs before any consent app loads. Vafer gives you a one-line tagging convention to bring those scripts under consent control, and its Diagnostics screen flags the gap instead of hiding it.

What data do you store about my shoppers?

No names, emails, or IP addresses. Consent records carry a one-way hash, the choice made, the region and the time — enough for an audit, nothing that identifies a person.

What does it cost?

Free while in early access. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when your store's invite is ready.

Why “Vafer”?

A wafer is a cookie. We guard cookies. The pun was sitting right there and we refuse to apologise for taking it.

Claims we never make

In copy, ads, or support replies.

Overclaiming is how consent vendors get sued. Here's what we say instead.

When a shopper says no, it means no.
