Cookie policy generator

Describe the categories of cookies your site uses, what each is for and how visitors can control them, in a cookie policy saved from your browser. A template, not legal advice.

This is a template assembled from the answers you gave. It is information, not legal advice, and no lawyer has reviewed it. Laws differ by country, state and industry, and requirements that apply to you may be missing from it. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer for your own jurisdiction and circumstances before you rely on it.

Street, city, postcode, country — plus a tax number, email or phone if the document needs one.

Which cookies your site sets

Check what your site actually loads. Analytics and advertising scripts set cookies whether or not you think of them as cookies.

A named provider, how long a cookie lasts, an embedded video player. The document does not invent a cookie table — this is where yours goes.

A preferences link, a banner, an opt-out page. Left empty, the document mentions browser settings only — it will not claim you have a banner.

A template, not legal advice

This is a template assembled from the answers you gave. It is information, not legal advice, and no lawyer has reviewed it. Laws differ by country, state and industry, and requirements that apply to you may be missing from it. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer for your own jurisdiction and circumstances before you rely on it.

Categories, because a cookie table cannot be guessed

A genuinely complete cookie policy lists every cookie by name, who sets it and how long it lasts. That information comes from the software your site actually runs — your analytics tag, your embedded video player, your chat widget — and no form can see it. So this tool documents the categories in use, explains what each is for, and says in the document that the individual list has to be compiled from the site itself.

Worth checking what you load before you tick. Scripts you think of as features — an embedded map, a font loader, a support chat — often set cookies of their own.

No banner is assumed

Whether consent has to be collected before a non-essential cookie is set, what that consent has to look like, and whether a banner is needed at all depend on where your visitors are. This template does not decide any of that, does not include a consent mechanism, and does not claim you have one. If you do have a preferences link or an opt-out page, name it in the controls box and the document points people at it.

The controls that work everywhere

Every major browser lets a visitor inspect stored cookies, delete them and refuse new ones, and a private window discards them on close. That is true wherever anybody is, which is why it is the one piece of advice the document gives without a condition attached.

Questions

Does this list my site’s individual cookies?

No. A full table of cookie names, owners and lifetimes has to come from the software your site actually runs. This documents the categories and says the detailed list must be compiled from the site.

Do I need a cookie banner?

It depends on where your visitors are and what you set. This template does not decide that, does not include a consent tool, and does not claim you have one.

How do I find out which cookies my site sets?

Open your site, then your browser’s developer tools, and look at the stored cookies on each page. Embedded maps, videos, fonts and chat widgets often set their own.

What controls can visitors always use?

Every major browser lets people view, delete and block cookies, and a private window discards them when it closes. The policy points that out.
