# Customer Privacy API now available

The customer privacy API is a browser-based, Javascript API that enables developers to read and write cookies related to a buyer's privacy preferences. As of 2020-10, the API is available to all Shopify online stores as a property on the global `window.Shopify` object.

For more information on the new Customer Privacy API, visit our [developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/consent-tracking-api).
