May at Consentmo was about consolidating - bringing scattered privacy tools into one place, cutting the performance cost of compliance, and formalizing the security infrastructure behind it all.

Here's everything that shipped in May. 👇

Smart Privacy Center

The Smart Privacy Center gives customers a single, centralized place to manage their privacy choices and understand how their data is handled. Before this, Consentmo's compliance tools lived across separate pages — each addressing a different regulation or request type. Merchants serving customers across multiple regions often had to build and maintain these pages independently, leading to inconsistent experiences and gaps in record-keeping.

The Smart Privacy Center consolidates that into one place. All of your separate compliance pages come together in a unified hub, which customers can access through a single branded entry point on your storefront.

Multilingual support is built in, so the Privacy Center automatically adapts to the customer's active language — the same way your cookie banner already does. For stores operating across multiple markets, this removes the manual work of maintaining separate localized pages.

Customer identification adds another layer of precision to how privacy choices are recorded. When merchants enable this setting, customers are asked to provide their email address before completing specific privacy actions. This ensures that every preference change or data subject access request (DSAR) is tied to a verified identity, making record-keeping accurate and audit trails reliable.

A Lighter, Faster Cookie Banner

Your consent banner now loads lighter and faster than before.

This was one of the most consistent requests from Shopify merchants: compliance without the performance cost. Banner loading speed directly impacts Core Web Vitals, and any script that adds weight to your storefront can affect both the shopping experience and search rankings.

This update reduces the banner's footprint on your storefront load time, so compliance runs in the background without getting in the way of speed. The banner loads with a smaller impact on your storefront, and the overall loading experience for visitors is noticeably quicker.

ISO 27001 Certified

Consentmo is now ISO 27001 certified.

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management. Achieving this certification reflects a formalized, audited commitment to how data is handled, stored, and protected across Consentmo's systems — not just as a practice, but as a verified process.

For merchants, this means the compliance tool you rely on to protect your customers' data is itself operating under a globally recognized security framework. For enterprise merchants and those in regulated industries, it also simplifies vendor due diligence — Consentmo's security posture is now independently verified.
