Cookie Policies: Categories and Wording That Work
A cookie policy turns a vague banner into a real explanation. Learn the categories and the wording that keeps it honest.
What is the Cookie Policy Generator?
A cookie policy explains which cookies your site sets, what each does and how visitors can control them. This generator drafts the standard sections.
How to use it
- Enter your site name and cookies used.
- Click Generate cookie policy.
- Publish it and link it from your banner.
Worked example
A site name and cookie list produce a readable policy draft.
Do I need a cookie policy and a banner?
In the EU and UK, yes — a cookie policy (or a cookies section in your privacy policy) is expected alongside the consent banner.
Frequently asked questions
What are necessary cookies?
Cookies required for the site to function — login, security, load balancing.
Can users refuse non-essential cookies?
Yes, and your banner must let them do so without losing access to the site.
