What is a cookie policy?

A cookie policy tells your users which cookies are active on your website, what data you’re tracking, what you’re using this information for and where their data is being sent.

It should also tell people how they can opt out or change their settings. Because the cookies used on a website tend to change, it’s important to update your policy on a regular basis to ensure it’s still accurate.

Why do I need a cookie policy?

Although cookies are generally used to improve user experience, they’ve generated a lot of controversy in recent years as users have become increasingly conscious about their online privacy and security.

Cookies are a potential privacy risk because they have the ability to track, store and share what an individual is doing when they’re on a website. For this reason, it’s now a legal requirement that websites have to get clear consent from visitors in order to store or retrieve information based on their browsing habits.

You need to notify your site’s visitors that you’re using cookies, you must get consent for this and consumers also need to be made aware of how they can opt out if they wish. This applies to any business based in the EU or to those who are targeting their services to EU citizens.

When GDPR came into force last year, it became even more important that website owners have a cookie policy.
