How to Create a Cookie Policy Page

Build a GDPR-compliant cookie policy that clearly explains your site's cookie usage.

Why you need a cookie policy

Privacy laws like GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive require websites to disclose what cookies they use and why. Operating without a cookie policy exposes your business to legal risk.

What to include

Define what cookies are, list the types you use (essential, analytics, marketing), explain each cookie's purpose and retention period, describe how users can manage cookies via browser settings, and provide a last-updated date and contact details.

Cookie policy vs. privacy policy

A privacy policy covers all personal data processing. A cookie policy focuses specifically on cookies. Separating them makes it easier for users to find the information they need.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a policy if I don't use cookies at all?

Not necessarily, but many third-party scripts (analytics, ads) set cookies automatically. Verify whether any cookies are placed on your site before deciding.

Is a cookie consent banner also required?

For EU-facing services, yes. In other regions, it depends on local regulations. Consent for non-essential cookies is widely considered best practice.
