Bulk Import and Export Trackers with CSV in Consentmo

Import and export Consentmo trackers with a CSV from Tracker Manager. Plus and Max plans get a sample template, bulk upload under 50KB, and one-click export for backups and audits.

TLDR

  • Consentmo lets Plus and Max merchants import and export trackers as CSV from Cookie manager → Tracker Manager.
  • Open the ⋯ menu next to Add Tracker, choose Import or Export, download the sample CSV template if you need the column layout, then upload a .csv file up to 50KB.
  • The template covers cookies, scripts, storage, and related trackers, not cookies alone.
  • Existing rows with the same identity can be overwritten on import, so review the file before you hit Import.

Where bulk import and export live now

  1. Open Consentmo
  2. Go to Monitoring & Trackers > Cookies & trackers
  3. Click the ⋯ menu beside Add Tracker
  4. Choose Export or Import
Consentmo Cookies & trackers page with 98 trackers by category and an arrow pointing to the Export and Import options in the Manage Trackers menu.

From the same screen you still see category totals (Necessary, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing, Unclassified), type filters (All, Cookies, Scripts, Storage, Pixels and others), and tools like Auto-categorize. CSV import/export is the bulk path when you need a spreadsheet workflow, a backup, or a handoff to legal or an agency.

Plan note: Import and Export are available on Plus and Max plans.

Import trackers from a CSV

Open the Import modal

Choose Import from the ⋯ menu. The Import trackers modal opens with:

  • A link to download a sample CSV template
  • An Add file drop zone (drag and drop also works)
  • Limits: .csv only, maximum file size 50KB
  • An Import button once a file is ready
Consentmo Import trackers modal for uploading a CSV file, with a link to a sample CSV template.

Use the sample CSV template

If the column order is unclear, download the sample from the modal. The template header looks like this:

Name Provider Type Category Duration Party Source_url Description
_shopify_y Shopify cookie Necessary 1 year 1stParty Used to store information about the customer's session
_fbp Facebook cookie Marketing 3 months 3rdParty Used by Facebook to deliver advertisement products
_ga Google Analytics cookie Statistics 2 years 3rdParty Used to distinguish users
fbevents.js Facebook script Marketing https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js Facebook pixel tracking script
local_storage_key storage Preferences https://example.com Stores user preferences locally

Field tips:

  • Name, technical identifier (_ga, storage key, script filename)
  • Provider, who sets it (Shopify, Google Analytics, Facebook, your app vendor)
  • Type, e.g. cookie, script, storage (match how Tracker Manager classifies items)
  • Category, consent category used in the banner and blocking logic (Necessary, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing). Invalid or missing categories can block a row from importing cleanly
  • Duration, how long the tracker lasts when relevant (session, months, years)
  • Party, 1stParty or 3rdParty
  • Source_url, optional URL for scripts or related assets
  • Description, plain-language purpose visitors (and auditors) can understand

Fill the sheet, save as CSV, then Add file or drag it into the modal and click Import.

Overwrite behavior

If you import trackers that already exist in your list, imported data can overwrite what is already stored. Treat CSV import as a deliberate sync, not a casual paste. Export first if you want a rollback file.

Export your current tracker list

Need a backup, an agency handoff, or an offline review before a theme or app rollout?

  1. Open Tracker Manager
  2. Open the ⋯ menu
  3. Click Export

Consentmo downloads a CSV of the trackers already managed in the app so you can archive it, edit offline, or re-import after review.

When CSV import/export helps most

  • Agency or multi-store setups, keep a shared tracker sheet and push updates without re-entering rows by hand
  • Pre-BFCM or big app installs, export, reconcile new pixels/scripts, import corrected categories
  • Policy and banner alignment, make sure names, providers, and categories match what Smart Cookie Policy and the Preferences experience disclose
  • Audits, store dated exports next to scan history when someone asks what ran on the storefront

For day-to-day discovery, still rely on Tracker Manager scans and AI categorization, then use CSV when you need bulk edits or portable records. More on the full manager: Tracker Manager & AI categorization.

Quick checklist before you import

  • File is .csv and under 50KB
  • Headers match the sample CSV template
  • Category values are valid for your banner setup
  • Type and Party match how each item actually behaves
  • You exported a backup if you might overwrite live rows
  • You are on Plus or Max
