What Cookie Policy Generator does and how it behaves

This tool turns a form describing your site's cookies into a formatted cookie policy: you describe the cookie categories your site uses, list the cookies or third-party services within each, and specify how your site handles visitor consent, and it assembles the sections into policy text covering purposes, retention, and third-party disclosures that you can publish. The part people miss is that it doesn't inspect your website - it only writes down what you tell it, so a cookie you forgot to list (a video embed, a pixel, a chat widget) simply won't appear in the output.

How the result is produced

Form-to-document assembly

You fill in a form describing your site's cookies - the categories in use and the individual cookies or third-party services within each - and the tool assembles what you enter into formatted cookie policy text covering cookie types, purposes, and consent options, ready to publish on your site.

No live cookie scanning

Because it runs client-side in your browser, it cannot read cookies set by your own website from this page - browsers restrict document.cookie access to the current origin, so cross-site inspection isn't possible. You have to determine your actual cookie list yourself, typically via your browser's developer tools or your tag manager, and enter it manually.

Good uses

Drafting a first cookie policy page to publish alongside a new consent banner before a site goes live.
Updating an existing policy after adding a new tracker, like Google Analytics or a marketing pixel, so the disclosure stays current.
Producing a starting draft to hand to a lawyer or compliance reviewer instead of writing the sections from scratch.

Limits and checks

The output is a draft assembled from what you entered, not a legally reviewed policy - it doesn't verify GDPR, ePrivacy, or CCPA compliance for your specific jurisdiction or business.
Nothing is auto-detected: a cookie you forget to list, including ones set by embedded third-party content, won't show up in the generated policy even though it's active on your site.
The described consent mechanism (e.g., an opt-in banner) isn't linked to your actual banner implementation, so the policy text and the real consent flow can drift apart if you change one without the other.

Common questions

Does this scan my site to find the cookies it actually sets?

No. A page running in your browser can't read cookies belonging to a different origin, so there's no way for it to inspect your live site's cookies. It only formats what you type into the form, so check your site's actual cookie list (via dev tools or your tag manager) before entering it.

Will the generated policy satisfy GDPR or CCPA on its own?

No. It produces a structured draft covering the standard sections regulators expect, but it can't confirm your specific consent flow, data sharing, or retention practices meet the letter of any given law. Treat it as a starting point for legal review, not a finished compliance document.
