Cookie Consent Banner Generator
Generate cookie banner copy plus a copy-paste HTML and JavaScript snippet that only loads a cookie group after the visitor allows it.
What is Cookie Banner?
A cookie consent banner generator. It produces the wording and a working snippet for the notices that have to appear before a non-essential cookie is set. The snippet is written the way the rules require: nothing non-essential loads before an explicit choice, and rejecting is a button rather than a link buried in the corner.
How it works
Pick the compliance model (EU/UK opt-in, California opt-out, or consent-first globally) and the cookie groups you use. The generator writes the banner heading, body and button labels, then emits an HTML block styled for the position you chose and a script that reads the stored choice, loads only the permitted groups, and removes the banner. If a visitor has already chosen, the snippet removes the banner without loading anything new.
- Fill in the details the document needs. Business name, jurisdiction, dates, the clauses that apply to you. Nothing is uploaded and no account is created — the form is the only input, and the document is assembled in the page.
- Watch the blanks, not just the text. Any field you leave empty appears in the document as [[a highlighted marker]], and the panel above the output lists exactly which blanks are left. A half-finished policy should never look finished.
- Copy or download, then have it reviewed. Copy the document to the clipboard or download it as a .md file named for what it is. Every page states the same thing: this is a template, and it needs a qualified lawyer's eye before you publish or sign it.
Examples
A privacy policy for a side project
A solo developer shipping a newsletter signup needs a policy that says what is collected, why, and how to ask for deletion. Selecting the categories actually collected — rather than copying a competitor's list — takes two minutes and produces a document that is true.
Terms of service with a real liability cap
The liability clause is written from a number you supply instead of being left as "our total liability is limited to [amount]". A cap that is never filled in is a clause no one can rely on.
A DMCA notice a provider will actually action
A takedown that is missing the URL of the original work, or the statement under penalty of perjury, is one the service provider is entitled to ignore. Every required element appears in the generated letter, in the order the statute describes.
A DPA for a new vendor
Processors, security measures, breach notification window, transfers and audit rights as one document, with the subprocessor and SCC clauses switched on because this vendor uses both.
Common mistakes
Publishing a template without reading it
A policy that promises something you do not do — deleting data on request within 30 days, or never sharing data with third parties — is worse than no policy, because it is a documented misstatement. Read every clause against what actually happens and cut the ones that do not apply.
Assuming one document covers every jurisdiction
A privacy policy written for the UK does not automatically satisfy California, Brazil or Canada, and an employment clause that is standard in one country can be unenforceable in another. Name the jurisdiction you are actually writing for, and check the rules that follow from it.
Bundling consent and calling it consent
A single "I agree" covering marketing, analytics, photographs and treatment is not valid consent under most regimes, because consent has to be specific and separately given. Use one form per purpose, and never pre-tick the optional boxes.
Leaving the blanks in after generating
The marker can be more subtle to spot in a document than on the page — search the pasted text for the bracket characters before publishing, or use the missing-field list to confirm it is empty.
Frequently asked questions
Is a banner enough on its own?
No. The banner is the interface; the obligation is that nothing non-essential actually runs before the visitor agrees. If your analytics tag fires on page load and the banner appears afterwards, the banner has not changed anything.
Does the snippet need a consent-management platform?
Not for a small site: the generated script stores the choice in localStorage and gates the load functions, which is enough. A platform earns its keep once you have several tags, need consent records, or have to prove what a visitor agreed to at a point in time.
Can I just block the banner in the EU and skip it elsewhere?
Geo-targeting the banner is common, but if visitors from a jurisdiction that requires consent can reach the site, they are entitled to the notice. Gate the tags for everyone and show the notice where it is required.
