Oracle Commerce Cloud is Oracle's enterprise e commerce platform for building and running online stores. It sets functional cookies for the storefront and can add analytics and personalisation, and because it runs on Oracle infrastructure that can include the United States, it raises consent and data transfer obligations under the GDPR.
Oracle Commerce Cloud is an enterprise e commerce platform from Oracle that businesses use to build and operate online stores, manage catalogues, and personalise the shopping experience. It runs as a managed cloud service and processes customer, order, and behavioural data to power the storefront and its features.
Oracle Commerce Cloud sets functional cookies for the session, cart, and checkout, and can add analytics and personalisation cookies that profile shoppers to tailor content and recommendations. It processes account, order, and behavioural data, which is personal data under the GDPR.
The functional commerce cookies are exempt under Article 5(3) ePrivacy, while analytics, personalisation, and marketing cookies require consent. Because Oracle Commerce Cloud runs on Oracle infrastructure that can include the United States, personal data may be transferred to a third country, so you need a valid mechanism such as the EU US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.

Free plan available · No credit card required
Load only the strictly necessary commerce cookies by default and gate analytics, personalisation, and marketing behind consent. Confirm which Oracle regions process your data, and make the transfer and the personalisation clear in your privacy and cookie notices.
Sign a data processing agreement with Oracle, confirm the data location and transfer safeguard, and document the bases for the core platform and for any profiling. Block non essential cookies until consent, run a transfer impact assessment where data goes to the US, and set retention aligned with your obligations.
Websites using Oracle Commerce Cloud must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
Oracle Commerce Cloud can profile shoppers for personalisation and may transfer data to the United States, so a DPIA is advisable where personalisation is extensive. Document the data flows, the transfer safeguard, and the profiling logic.
Sample consent text
We use Oracle Commerce Cloud to run our online store. Analytics, personalisation, and marketing cookies, and any transfer outside the EU, are only used if you accept them.

Oracle Commerce Cloud uses cookies for user preferences — inform visitors with a consent banner.
It sets functional cookies for the session, cart, and checkout, plus optional personalisation and analytics cookies that profile shoppers and measure usage. Only the commerce cookies are strictly necessary.
The functional commerce cookies are exempt under Article 5(3) ePrivacy, but analytics, personalisation, and marketing cookies require prior consent and must stay blocked until the visitor accepts.
Running the store relies on performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b), while analytics and personalisation cookies rely on consent under Article 6(1)(a) and Article 5(3) ePrivacy.
It can. Oracle Commerce Cloud runs on Oracle infrastructure that may include United States data centres, so you need a transfer mechanism such as the EU US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses and must disclose it.
A DPIA is advisable where the platform profiles shoppers for personalisation and where data is transferred to the US. Document the data flows, profiling logic, and transfer safeguards.
Sign a data processing agreement, confirm the data region, block non essential cookies until consent, run a transfer impact assessment for US processing, and document the bases for commerce and profiling.
EU based commerce platforms can keep data within the EEA and reduce transfer exposure. Any platform with personalisation or analytics still requires consent for those cookies.
List the functional, personalisation, and analytics cookies with their purpose and duration, state whether data is transferred to the US, and name the safeguard. Keep the entry current as you change features.
