We strongly advise against copying someone else's privacy policy or terms. The chances that they'll cover all aspects of your business and protect you as they should are practically zero. The same goes for static templates - they won't update when the law changes, so you risk non-compliance.

Unfortunately, no. According to most regulations, it’s not enough to just ask users for permission to handle their data. You must also pause any tracking until they provide consent. We highly recommend using Easycookie in conjunction with Google Tag Manager for this purpose.

The usual approach is to link your privacy policy and terms and conditions in your website footer. They should also appear on your checkout page or anywhere else you process user data - for example, your privacy policy should be linked on your cookie consent banner. In general, your aim should be to make them easily accessible to your users.

In March 2024, Google launched an upgraded system, named Consent Mode v2 (GCM v2), to manage user consents for cookie data use in the European Economic Area (EEA). The aim? To fine-tune the behaviour of tags from Google Analytics, Google Ads, or Google Tag Manager, based on the permissions granted by users. This ensures we're always in line with personal data protection laws. It's all about keeping your data handling transparent and trustworthy.

Each site is required by law to have a mechanism such as Easycookie. Otherwise you risk very heavy penalties. We don't even want to give them here because it's not our goal to scare you, but this year the penalties have already been imposed entrepreneurs who have not complied with the obligation to notify and collect consents regarding cookies.
