Cookie Policy Generator — GDPR-Compliant Cookie Policies
The Serverless Tools Cookie Policy Generator is a free, browser-based tool that helps you create comprehensive, GDPR-compliant cookie policies for your website. With increasing privacy regulations worldwide — including the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Brazil's LGPD — every website that uses cookies needs a clear, transparent cookie policy. Our tool makes this easy, fast, and completely private.
What Is a Cookie Policy?
A cookie policy is a legal document that informs website visitors about how your site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. It explains what cookies are, which types your site uses, why they are used, how long they last, and how users can manage their cookie preferences. Under GDPR and similar regulations, websites must obtain informed consent before placing non-essential cookies on users' devices. A clear cookie policy is the foundation of that consent process.

How It Works — Technical Overview
The Cookie Policy Generator runs entirely in client-side JavaScript. When you specify your website details and cookie preferences, the tool constructs a comprehensive policy document from predefined legal templates. Each section is generated dynamically based on your selections — for example, if you don't use marketing cookies, that section is excluded. The tool uses template literals to insert your website name, URL, and contact information into appropriate positions throughout the document. No server processing occurs.

Use Cases
- Website Owners — Every website that uses cookies (including basic analytics like Google Analytics) needs a cookie policy. This is required by law in the EU and many other regions.
- E-commerce Sites — Online stores use essential cookies for shopping carts, analytics cookies for traffic analysis, and marketing cookies for retargeting.
- SaaS Applications — Web applications use functional cookies for user preferences and session cookies for authentication.
- Blogs and Content Sites — Even simple blogs with analytics or advertising use cookies that require disclosure.
Tips & Best Practices
- Audit your cookies first — Before generating a policy, scan your website to identify all cookies being set. Tools like browser developer tools can help.
- Implement a cookie banner — A cookie policy alone is not sufficient for GDPR compliance. You also need a consent banner that allows users to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
- Update when adding new cookies — Whenever you add new tracking scripts or third-party services, update your cookie policy accordingly.
- Link from every page — Place a link to your cookie policy in the footer of every page, alongside your privacy policy and terms of service.
