Cookie Policy Generator

A cookie policy is not the same as a privacy policy, and not the same as the banner that pops up on your first visit. It is the complete, honest list: which cookies your site sets, who sets them, how long they stay, and what they are for. That transparency is exactly what the TDDDG (formerly TTDSG) and the GDPR require - and exactly what this generator handles for you.

At its core sits a library of more than 40 common cookies. Google Analytics, the Facebook pixel, Matomo, Hotjar, Google Tag Manager, YouTube embeds, your shop’s session cookies - you tick what you actually use, and the generator pulls in name, provider, purpose, storage duration and category automatically. No digging through third-party docs, no guessed expiry times.

Every cookie is sorted into four categories: necessary, functional, statistical and marketing. That is precisely the split your consent banner needs so visitors can accept or reject in a targeted way. Necessary cookies run without consent, everything else only after an active opt-in - the generator keeps that line clean and flags it in the table.

Eight presets cover the typical cases: from a lean landing page through the WordPress blog to an online shop with a full tracking stack. Pick a preset as a starting point and adjust it, instead of starting from scratch. Missing a cookie? Add it with your own values - the library is a suggestion, not a cage.

The result is a finished cookie table you can put straight on your site. As a PDF for your records, as cleanly formatted HTML to embed, or as JSON that many consent-management platforms like Cookiebot, Usercentrics or Borlabs read in directly. That keeps policy and banner consistent - what is in the table is what the tool can serve.

Important and honest: this tool produces a clean, structured document but does not replace legal advice. It does not know your cookies better than you do - what you do not enter will not appear. For complex tracking setups, international data flows, or when you are unsure, have an IT-law specialist review the final version. The generator gets you 90 percent of the way; the last stretch is a review.
