Pandectes Consent Event

Every time a visitor answers your cookie banner, Pandectes can push a consent event, Pandectes_Consent_Update, to the dataLayer. Google Tag Manager, Shopify custom pixels and your own scripts can listen for it and act on the visitor's choice, category by category. Read the guide.
