Cookie Policy

A document explaining what cookies a website uses, why it uses them, and how users can control them. Cookie policies can be standalone documents or sections within privacy policies. A comprehensive cookie policy identifies each cookie or category of cookies used, explains the purpose of each cookie, specifies cookie duration, identifies third parties that set cookies through your site, describes the data collected by cookies, explains how users can manage cookie preferences, and provides links to third-party cookie policies. Cookie policies became standard practice with ePrivacy Directive requirements for cookie consent. Best practices include using cookie scanning tools to ensure your policy accurately reflects actual cookie usage, updating policies when cookie practices change, making policies easily accessible, and using clear language rather than technical jargon. Cookie policies complement cookie consent banners, providing detailed information for users who want to understand cookie practices fully.
