Under GDPR, users have the right to be informed about how their personal data is processed. Because cookies may collect personal data, websites must disclose how and why cookies are used. A cookie policy supports this transparency requirement.
A GDPR-compliant cookie policy should include the following information in plain, easy-to-understand language:
- Describe what cookies are and why they are used
- Details of the types of cookies used by your site, their purposes and duration
- How-to on opting out of cookies or changing cookie consent preferences

A cookie policy may be required in the US depending on the state privacy laws your business must comply with. Laws such as COPPA, CCPA, and Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act regulate the use of cookies and require transparency about how personal data is processed.
For this reason, having a cookie policy is considered best practice. It can be included within your privacy policy or published as a separate policy on your website.
Your cookie policy should be linked in your website footer so it is accessible from every page. If you use a cookie consent banner, it is recommended to include a link to your cookie policy within the banner.
