Message:

can the shopware cookie consent manager be made mandatory?
That means that the customer must accept or deny cookies before entering the shop.
Is there a switch for it or has it to be developed as decorated service like explained here https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/plugins/plugins/storefront/add-cookie-to-manager#extend-the-cookie-consent-manager ?

Or should it be easier to use an external consent manager?

My Answer:
To make the Shopware cookie consent manager mandatory, you will need to develop it as a decorated service as explained in the documentation you provided. This will involve extending the cookie consent manager to require the customer to accept or deny cookies before entering the shop.

Alternatively, you could consider using an external consent manager that already has this functionality built-in. This may be a quicker and easier solution if you do not want to develop the functionality yourself.
