# Expanded control of privacy settings using the GraphQL Admin API

With API version 2025-04, you can manage privacy settings, including status and geotargeting, for first-party features:

* **Privacy settings status**: View the status of first-party privacy settings, such as the cookie banner, data sale opt-out page, and privacy policy.
* **Enable/disable settings**: Modify first-party privacy settings, including the cookie banner, data sale opt-out page, and automation for the privacy policy.
* **Regional control for cookie consent**: View or modify which regions and countries require opt-in consent via the cookie banner.
* **Data sale opt-out management**: View or modify the regions and countries where opting out of data sale is allowed.

These enhancements can help you create a smoother onboarding process for new merchants by allowing your privacy-related partner app to customize a merchant’s settings.

For more information on using these new privacy settings features through the GraphQL Admin API, refer to the [API documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-04/objects/PrivacySettings).
