Quick answers to common questions
A cookie policy explains what cookies your website uses, why they are used, and how users can control them. Under GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive, websites using non-essential cookies must inform users and obtain consent before placing them. A cookie policy is typically linked from your privacy policy and cookie consent banner.
Yes. GDPR requires transparency about data processing, and cookies that track users constitute personal data processing. You must disclose cookie types (essential, analytics, marketing), purposes, third parties involved, and how users can opt out. Non-essential cookies require explicit consent before activation — a cookie policy alone is not enough; you also need a consent mechanism.
A privacy policy covers all personal data collection and processing — names, emails, payments, analytics, and cookies. A cookie policy is a focused document specifically about browser cookies and similar tracking technologies. Many sites include cookie details in their privacy policy, but a separate cookie policy is clearer for GDPR compliance and links well from cookie consent banners.
