A cookie policy is a simple document that informs the users about how cookies store information and how to manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time a user visits a website, their browser stores information in these cookies so when they return, that website can &#8216;remember&#8217; how they interacted with the site. This can be used for various purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Cookies can remember that a user is logged in. This is useful so they don&#8217;t have to log in on every page they visit.<\/li><li>A Cookie can remember that a user dismissed a popup, that way the popup won&#8217;t display again. <\/li><li>Cookies can remember items stored in a shopping cart. <\/li><li>Cookies can remember a specific number that identifies a user (useful for tracking where users navigate on a site.)<\/li><li>Cookies can also remember custom video streaming settings like volume or where a user left off.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is in a Cookie Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cookie policy is put in place to help inform uses about the collection and use of any personal or private data via the use of cookies. Cookies are a very powerful tool and they can be used to collect a wide range of information about your users browsing habits. So, it&#8217;s important to inform uses about how these cookies are used and how a user might opt-out or limit them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a Cookies Policy Required?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. In the United States a cookies policy is not required. However, if you do business in the EU, or you target audiences that live in the EU, you are required to have a cookies policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should I Include in My Cookies Policy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You should include a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTTP_cookie\">simple definition of a cookie.<\/a><\/li><li>You should include How your website uses cookies, including 3rd party cookies and tracking cookies. <\/li><li>Include other tracking methods you use (location, social media, login, etc)<\/li><li>You should include a list of specific cookies and how to identify them. <\/li><li>You should include directions on how a user can opt-out or delete cookies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do I put my cookies policy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common practice is to include your cookies policy in the footer of your website. It can be included with other &#8216;nuts-and-bolts&#8217; type links like the Terms and Conditions page, the login in\/out page, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you target audiences in the EU it&#8217;s important to place a small notice on your landing pages informing users that you use cookies. Link to your policy clearly in this popup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generic Cookie Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><strong>What are cookies?<\/strong>\nCookies are simple text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a website\u2019s server.
