100% free to generate, no hidden fees. Sign up to save, copy and publish your Cookie Policy.

GDPR & ePrivacy Ready

Covers the EU ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, UK PECR and CCPA/CPRA cookie-disclosure requirements.

What's included

Our Cookie Policy Generator includes:

Cookie Categories

Necessary, analytics, marketing and functional cookies are explained separately, with conditional sections that only appear if you actually use that category.

Ready Cookie Inventory Table

A pre-filled table of common cookies including session_id, csrf_token, consent, Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) and the Meta/Facebook Pixel (_fbp), with free-text fields to add your own analytics, marketing or functional tools.

GDPR & ePrivacy Directive

Addresses Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR consent requirements for any non-essential cookie placed on an EU or UK visitor's device.

UK PECR

Includes the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations disclosures required for UK visitors, aligned with the same consent standard as the EU.

CCPA / CPRA Disclosures

Covers California's requirements around cookies that involve the sale or sharing of personal information, including the right to opt out.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

States that your site honours the GPC signal, the browser-level opt-out mechanism recognised under CCPA/CPRA.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Clarifies that the legacy Do Not Track browser signal is not honoured, while GPC is, avoiding a common source of confusion for visitors.

Banner Design Guidance

Includes plain-English guidance on equal-prominence Accept and Reject options, reflecting the standard regulators now expect from consent banners.

Jurisdiction-Aware Annex

Add a UK, EU or California annex to your policy to cover the specific disclosures each jurisdiction expects, without cluttering the base document.

Generate Your Cookie Policy

Our free cookie policy generator produces a written Cookie Policy document covering the necessary, analytics, marketing and functional cookies your site actually uses.

Cookie consent is one of the most heavily enforced areas of European data-protection law. The ePrivacy Directive and GDPR require prior, informed consent before placing any non-essential cookie, and regulators in France and the UK have fined major platforms for cookie banners that make rejecting cookies harder than accepting them.

Every policy ships with a ready cookie inventory table covering common cookies such as session and consent cookies, Google Analytics, and the Meta Pixel, with space to add your own analytics, marketing or functional tools. It also states that your site honours the Global Privacy Control signal, and addresses Do Not Track separately, since the two are often confused.

Note that this generator produces the written policy document only. It does not build or install a cookie consent banner on your site, so you will still need your own banner or consent-management tool to collect consent from visitors.

Our generator is completely free to use and will produce your Cookie Policy in a matter of minutes. Simply select the cookie categories you use and add a UK, EU or California annex if needed, then sign up to save, copy and publish your policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about cookie policies before you get started?

What is a Cookie Policy?

A Cookie Policy is a legal document that explains what cookies and tracking technologies your website uses, what data they collect, their purpose, who sets them, and how users can manage or opt out of them. It is a standalone document, generated as part of your document library alongside your other policies.

Is a Cookie Policy required by law?

Yes, in most cases. The EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR require websites that use cookies to track users or collect personal data to disclose this clearly before placing any non-essential cookie. The UK applies the same standard under PECR. California's CCPA/CPRA requires disclosure of cookies involved in the sale or sharing of personal information. A Cookie Policy is the standard way to meet these obligations.

What is the difference between a Cookie Policy and a Privacy Policy?

A Privacy Policy covers all personal data your site collects and processes. A Cookie Policy is more specific, focused on cookies and tracking technologies: their names, purposes, lifespans and how to control them. Many sites publish both as separate documents and link between them.

Does the generator create a cookie consent banner?

No. Our generator produces the written Cookie Policy document itself, not the on-site consent banner or a cookie-scanning tool. Your policy includes guidance on the equal-prominence Accept/Reject standard regulators expect from a banner, but you will still need a separate consent-management tool or your own banner implementation to collect consent.

What cookies are already included in the policy?

Every generated policy ships with a ready inventory table covering common cookies most sites use: session_id and csrf_token for necessary functionality, a consent cookie to record preferences, Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _gid), and the Meta/Facebook Pixel cookie (_fbp). You can add your own analytics, marketing or functional tools as free text if you use others.

Do I need a Cookie Policy for Google Analytics?

Yes. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect data about visitor behaviour. GDPR requires you to inform users about these cookies, obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies, and explain how they can opt out. Our generator includes Google Analytics in its default cookie inventory for exactly this reason.

How can I generate a Cookie Policy?

It's really simple. Just have a quick read of the "What's Included" section above, tick the cookie categories your site actually uses, and your policy is generated in minutes.
