Cookies are small data files that are placed on a user’s computer or mobile device when they visit a website. They can be used to track user behavior, remember user preferences or settings, improve user experience, and more.
A cookie policy informs your users about what cookies you use, how and why you use cookies, and how users can control their cookie preferences. Cookie policies are legal documents containing the information you must publish under the GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy Directive (also known as the EU cookie law), and other cookie regulations.
Creating a cookie policy is just one step in complying with privacy laws. You also need to create a cookie notification message, generate a privacy policy, and more.
If you use cookies and are subject to any laws that regulate cookie use (e.g., the EU cookie law, CCPA, GDPR, etc.), you must publish information about the cookies you use. This information needs to be present in a cookie policy or privacy policy.
These laws generally apply to any website or app that collects information from the residents of that country or state. That means you may be required to comply with these cookie regulations regardless of your location.
The ePrivacy Directive and other laws apply to cookies and any type of technology that stores and processes user information.

After you’ve used our cookie scanner tool and reviewed the classifications and details, we will automatically generate the cookie policy for you.
The policy will include the necessary text for explaining how and why you use cookies and will be customized for your website.
Your website scan results will be compiled into a list of cookies, which will include the cookie category, the purpose of each cookie, the provider, and a link to the provider’s privacy policy for any third-party cookies.
You should display your cookie policy where your users can easily access it. If you use our consent banner, your policy will automatically be added as a link.
You can also add a cookie preference center link to your banner. A preference center is essential under several privacy laws as it allows your site visitors to change their cookie preferences at any time.
Cookie policies are also commonly displayed in a website’s footer or wherever you display your other legal agreements, such as your privacy policy or terms of use.
Your privacy policy should also contain some information about your site’s cookie use, as cookies can be considered personal information. You can either add the necessary cookie information to the privacy policy itself or provide a summary of cookie information in the privacy policy alongside a link to your cookie policy for the details.
We answer the most frequently asked questions we get about cookie policies and why our cookie policy generator is the best.

A cookie policy is a legal document that contains detailed information on what cookies you use, how and why you use them, and how a user can set cookie preferences or opt out of cookie use.
Your banner should contain a link to your cookie policy so that site visitors can easily access the policy if they need additional information.
If your mobile app uses cookies you are likely still subject to the same rules and regulations around cookie use.
