Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cookie disclaimer the same as a cookie policy?+
No, they serve different purposes. A cookie disclaimer (or cookie banner) is the brief notice visitors see when they first visit your site — it informs them about cookie use and requests consent. A cookie policy is a more comprehensive document that details what cookies you use, their purpose, how long they last, and how users can manage them. Most websites need both: the banner for immediate notice and the policy for full details.
Do I need a cookie disclaimer if I use Google Analytics?+
Yes. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor behavior, and under GDPR, these are considered non-essential analytics cookies that require user consent before being placed. Under CCPA, you must disclose the use of these tracking technologies. Even if you only use Google Analytics and no other cookies, a cookie disclaimer is recommended to stay compliant with privacy regulations.
What must a cookie disclaimer include under GDPR?+
Under GDPR, a cookie disclaimer must: (1) inform visitors that your site uses cookies, (2) explain what the cookies are used for, (3) obtain active consent before placing non-essential cookies, (4) allow visitors to accept or reject different categories of cookies, (5) provide a link to your full cookie policy, and (6) make it as easy to withdraw consent as it was to give it. Pre-checked boxes or implied consent (e.g., 'by continuing to browse') are not compliant under GDPR.
