Cookie Policy

Definition

A legal document on your website explaining what cookies you use, what data they collect, and how visitors can control them, required under GDPR.

Why it matters

Operating a website without a cookie policy and consent mechanism is a GDPR violation that can result in fines. It is also a trust signal to visitors.

Example

A founder adds a cookie consent banner to her website, linked to a cookie policy page, and uses a CMP (Consent Management Platform) to manage user preferences.
