Cookie Policy Generator for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy
The Cookie Policy Generator builds a professional, ready-to-publish cookie policy for your website in seconds. Enter a few details, tick the cookie types and regulations that apply to you, and get a complete policy you can paste straight into your site.
It is made for site owners, developers, bloggers, and small businesses who need a clear cookie notice without hiring a lawyer or copying a generic template. Choose which cookies you actually use, switch on GDPR, CCPA, or the ePrivacy directive, and export the result as HTML, Markdown, or plain text.
How to Create a Cookie Policy
Enter your website information
Fill in the website name, URL, company name, contact email, and effective date. Any field you leave blank is filled with a sensible placeholder, and the effective date defaults to today.
Select the cookie types you use
Essential cookies are always included. Tick Analytics, Marketing, Functional, or Social Media to match what your site really uses — only the categories you select appear in the policy.
Choose the regulations that apply
Turn on GDPR for visitors in the EU/EEA, CCPA for California residents, and ePrivacy for the EU Cookie Law. Each one adds a matching rights and consent section.
Generate, preview, and copy
Pick HTML, Plain Text, or Markdown, then click Generate Cookie Policy. Review the live preview, open the source code if you want it, and copy the policy to your clipboard with one click.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cookie policy?
A cookie policy is a page on your website that tells visitors which cookies you use, what each type does, and how people can manage or refuse them. It is how you stay transparent about the data your site collects through cookies and similar tracking technologies.
Do I need a cookie policy for my website?
Most sites do. If your website uses analytics, advertising, social, or functional cookies — or is accessible to visitors covered by laws like GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, or CCPA — you are generally expected to publish a cookie policy and, where required, ask for consent.
Is a cookie policy required by GDPR?
If your site is accessible to visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), you are expected to inform them about your cookies and obtain consent for non-essential ones. This applies even when your business is based outside the EU — what matters is whether EU residents can reach your site. Enable the GDPR option to add a rights and consent section covering this.
What is the difference between a cookie policy and a privacy policy?
A privacy policy covers all the personal data you collect and how you process it. A cookie policy is narrower: it focuses specifically on the cookies and tracking technologies your site uses. The two complement each other, and many sites link to both.
What is the difference between GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive?
GDPR is a broad regulation that governs all personal data processing. The ePrivacy Directive — often called the EU Cookie Law — focuses on electronic communications and cookie consent in particular. GDPR sets the general framework while ePrivacy provides the specific cookie rules, which is why you can enable each one separately here.
Do I need CCPA compliance?
CCPA applies to businesses that collect personal information from California residents and meet certain thresholds, such as annual revenue over $25 million, handling data of 100,000+ consumers, or earning 50% or more of revenue from selling consumer data. If you are unsure, enabling the CCPA option to include those rights is the safer choice.
How do I add the cookie policy to my website?
Generate the policy, choose the format you need, and copy it. Use HTML to paste straight into a page's source, Markdown for documentation or a CMS that supports it, or Plain Text for a simple page or document. Then link to the policy from your site footer or cookie banner.
How often should I update my cookie policy?
Update it whenever you add new cookie types, change third-party services, or when relevant regulations change. As a rule of thumb, review the policy at least once a year and regenerate it here when anything changes.
Is the generated cookie policy legally binding?
This tool produces a comprehensive policy template based on common legal requirements, not formal legal advice. For full assurance, have a legal professional review the result against the specific rules for your jurisdiction and business.
