It’s worth mentioning here that one of the strengths of using iubenda’s privacy policy here is the ability to add policies in multiple languages or a language other than English.

If using an older (pre-2016) non-sectioned theme, click on theme.liquid in the Templates directory, and edit in a similar fashion to what’s pictured below.

In the example pictured above, we’ve placed the code between the <div></div> tags, so that it’s inline with the theme’s copyright text. When copying the privacy policy’s embed code, we’ve also chosen the No style option to get a text link instead of the default button.
Next, click Save at the top right, check your store to make sure that you like the placement of the link and adjust if needed. And that’s it, you’ve now integrated your iubenda privacy policy with your Shopify site!
