Website Cookies Policy Template
A website cookies policy template explaining to visitors how your website uses cookies, which third-party services may place cookies, and how visitors can manage their consent.
The policy has Approved By and Date Approved fields and carries a Public information classification, so it can be shared with workers, clients and other interested parties.
What the Website Cookies Policy Covers
- What cookies are - small data files served from the website platform and stored on the visitor's device
- Why they are used - including the correct operation and personalisation of the website
- Your cookie list - a guidance line prompting you to list the cookies your site sets, who sets them, what each is for and how long it lasts, or link to your cookie table
- Advertising - cookies used to show targeted adverts through third-party advertising providers
- Third parties - analytics, search, social media, security and service providers that may place cookies
- Identifiers - IP address, referrer and device identifiers handled as personal data in line with data protection law and your privacy notice
- Consent - asked before placing cookies that are not strictly necessary
- Cookie settings - changing or withdrawing consent at any time through the cookie settings on the website
- Browser settings - blocking or deleting cookies in the browser, and the effect this may have on the website
Written for Your Website
The policy is written to be published on your website, speaking directly to visitors. Replace the guidance line with the cookies your site actually sets so the policy matches what happens on your site.
Using the Policy
Add your company name and logo, check each commitment matches what your organisation does and edit any that do not, then approve and date the policy and share it with workers and anyone else who needs to see it.
Who Needs a Website Cookies Policy?
Any organisation whose website uses cookies or third-party services such as analytics, advertising or embedded social media.
Works with the Website Privacy Policy
The P-84 Website Privacy Policy covers the personal data collected through your website, and the F-IMS24 Personal Data Register records the personal data you hold, including what your website collects. The RA-BR11 Data Protection and Privacy risk assessment covers data protection risks more widely.
Document Control
The footer carries the policy number and title, information classification, version and page numbers, and the approval fields record who approved the policy and when, so it can be controlled with the rest of your management system documents and listed on a document register such as the F-IMS20 Document Register.

Would you rather we prepared it for you?
Our Personal Data Register and Privacy Notice Preparation service works through the personal data your organisation holds with you, including the AI tools in use, and prepares the register and privacy notice so they describe what actually happens to that data.
