Cookie Policy Generator

Every website that uses cookies needs a cookie policy. Generate one that lists your cookies by service, covers GDPR and CCPA requirements, and is ready to publish — in under 2 minutes.

Why your website needs a cookie policy

EU Cookie Law
The ePrivacy Directive requires websites to inform users about cookies and get consent before setting non-essential ones. Fines can reach millions of euros.
GDPR requirements
Cookies that identify users are personal data under GDPR. You need a legal basis, clear disclosure, and consent mechanisms.
CCPA compliance
California's privacy law requires disclosure of tracking technologies. Users must be able to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data via cookies.
Browser & platform policies
Google, Apple, and major browsers increasingly require transparent cookie disclosures. Chrome's Privacy Sandbox and Safari's ITP make this essential.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a cookie policy?

Yes, if your website uses cookies or similar tracking technologies. The EU ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) and GDPR require you to inform users about cookies, their purpose, and obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies.

What's the difference between a privacy policy and a cookie policy?

A privacy policy covers all personal data processing — how you collect, use, and protect user data. A cookie policy specifically covers cookies and tracking technologies on your website: what cookies you set, why, and how users can control them.

What cookies does my website probably use?

Most websites use analytics cookies (Google Analytics), session cookies (for login), and possibly advertising cookies (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads). Payment processors like Stripe and services like Intercom also set cookies. Our generator detects these based on the services you select.

Can I use the same cookie policy for multiple websites?

Each website should have its own cookie policy since different sites use different cookies and services. Generate a separate policy for each website to ensure accuracy.
