About CookieYes
CookieYes is best known as a cookie consent platform, and it offers two policy generators. The privacy policy generator is free and needs no sign-up or email address. You answer a questionnaire, preview the policy and copy it to your site as plain text or HTML. CookieYes says the policy is designed to be compliant with GDPR and CCPA, and that the process takes about two minutes.
The cookie policy generator is part of the CookieYes consent platform. It builds a cookie policy that includes a list of the cookies found by a scan of your site, and CookieYes says the policy updates when new cookies are detected, as long as its script is installed. The generator page lists GDPR (EU and UK), CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, LGPD, nFADP, POPIA and several US state laws.
At the time of checking, the cookie policy generator was available on a free plan for one language, with paid plans at $10 (Basic), $25 (Pro) and $55 (Ultimate) a month per domain, billed monthly, plus local taxes. Paid plans have a 14 day free trial.
How to create a policy with CookieYes
- For a privacy policy, open the free generator and answer the questions about your website.
- Preview the policy, generate it and copy it as HTML or plain text.
- For a cookie policy, sign up, scan your site and generate the policy from the cookies found.
- Add the cookie policy with the code snippet or copied HTML.
Things to know
- Privacy policy is a one-off: The free privacy policy is copied to your site, so you need to update it yourself.
- Cookie policy relies on the script: Automatic updates to the cookie policy depend on the CookieYes script and its cookie scans, and scan frequency varies by plan.
- No terms generator: The pages checked do not offer a terms and conditions generator.
- Check the output: PECR is not mentioned by name, so UK site owners should check that their cookie consent and policy meet UK rules.
