Cookie Policy Generator
Create a cookie policy that lists the cookies your site actually uses. Select your services — Google Analytics, AdSense, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Stripe, Cloudflare, Shopify and more — and get a policy grouped into necessary, functional, analytics and advertising cookies, with names, purposes and durations.
Enter your site details and tick the services you use. The generator builds a cookie policy explaining what cookies are, a table per category with each cookie's name, provider, purpose and duration, and how visitors can manage consent and browser settings — in Markdown, HTML or text.

Cookie rules in brief
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR (and the UK's PECR), you need consent before setting non-essential cookies — analytics and advertising — and must explain what each cookie does. Strictly necessary cookies (security, cart, consent choice) don't need consent but should still be listed.
Consent must be as easy to refuse as to accept, and you must honour it.
Verify what you set
Cookie names change and plugins add their own, so check your live site in your browser's DevTools (Application → Cookies) and add anything missing. Audit their security flags with the Cookie Security Checker and publish a full Privacy Policy too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cookie list complete?
It covers the main cookies each service sets as documented by the provider. Your site may set others — check DevTools and add them.
Do I still need a cookie banner?
If you have EU or UK visitors and use non-essential cookies, yes. The policy explains cookies; the banner collects consent.
Is my data sent to your server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API and JavaScript. Nothing you type or generate is uploaded, logged or stored.
