How to add DNS records in Shopify and GoDaddy

As part of your Cookie Saver setup, you will be asked to add records to your hosting provider like Shopify or GoDaddy. This entails some adjustments. 

This guide explains how to add DNS records to hosting providers like Shopify and GoDaddy as part of the setup of Cookie Saver in the installation process.

When DNS records are added to Shopify/GoDaddy you will need to slightly modify them before saving.

Example of DNS records received from Cookie Saver:

Name: _eb2299cfb3be303ecd33f0b9c325b36f.fpc.cookiesaver.io.
Type: NS
Value: _8b606de7c3eb6de345815df0c77dd4d1.lkfvzjuplp.acm-validations.aws

Name: fpc.cookiesaver.io
Type: NS
Value: external-cookiesaverio.cookiesaver.accutics.net

Changes:

• The top-level domain should be removed (e.g. "cookiesaver.io" in the above example). It's important that only the top-level part of the domain is removed. If using a subdomain like fpc.www.cookiesaver.io, www is not part of the top-level domain and should not be removed.
• Leading underscores should be removed from the 'Values'.
