Overview
Trusted Shops is a trust and review management platform for European e-commerce businesses. Its scripts display a trust badge (Trustmark) and customer review widgets on product and checkout pages. Post-purchase email sequences collect verified buyer reviews.
What This Script Does
- Loads the Trusted Shops Trustmark badge from its CDN, displayed on checkout and product pages
- Embeds a customer review widget showing aggregate ratings and individual reviews
- Fires events on order completion to trigger post-purchase review collection emails
- Sets cookies to maintain session state for the trust badge and review widget
- Collects order metadata (order ID, value) to verify review authenticity
Consent & Compliance
- Category: Functional
- GDPR: Collects order metadata for review verification purposes. The trust badge itself is a visual element with minimal data collection. Review collection emails are triggered server-side. A legitimate interest basis is generally appropriate.
- CCPA: Collects limited order data for a specific functional purpose (review verification). Does not sell or share personal information for advertising.
- ePrivacy: Sets functional cookies for widget state. These support site functionality rather than tracking.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. Trusted Shops provides functional trust and review features that support legitimate e-commerce operations. The data collected is limited to order verification for authentic reviews. Blocking would remove trust signals without meaningful privacy benefit.
