Frequently asked questions
Is a Cookie Policy required by law?
Yes, under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, websites that use cookies must inform users about cookie usage and obtain consent for non-essential cookies. Similar laws exist in the UK, Canada, and elsewhere.
What is the difference between a Cookie Policy and a Privacy Policy?
A Cookie Policy specifically explains which cookies you use and why. A Privacy Policy covers all personal data collection. Many websites include a cookie section within their Privacy Policy, but a separate Cookie Policy is best practice under GDPR.
Do I need a cookie banner as well?
Yes. A Cookie Policy page explains your cookies in detail, but you also need a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit to obtain user consent before placing non-essential cookies.
What are strictly necessary cookies?
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function — login sessions, shopping cart contents, security tokens. These do not require user consent under GDPR.

Why you need a Cookie Policy
Under GDPR (EU/EEA), the UK PECR, and similar regulations worldwide, any website using non-essential cookies must inform users and obtain their consent. A Cookie Policy is the legal document that explains what cookies you use, why you use them, and how users can opt out. Failing to have one can result in significant regulatory fines.
Essential vs non-essential cookies
Strictly necessary cookies (session management, authentication) can be used without consent. All other cookies — analytics, advertising, personalisation — are non-essential and require explicit user consent under GDPR. Your Cookie Policy must clearly distinguish between these categories.
