Cookie policy

# Cookie Policy for Example Shop

**Last updated:** November 10, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Example Ltd ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on [https://example.com](https://example.com) (the "Site"), what they do, and how you can control them.

## 1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies such as local storage and tracking pixels work in a comparable way, and this policy calls them all "cookies". First-party cookies are set by the Site itself; third-party cookies are set by other companies whose services the Site uses. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them.

## 2. How we use cookies

- **Strictly necessary** cookies are needed for the Site to work and to remember your cookie choices. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off on the Site.
- **Statistics** cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site, so we can improve it. The reports we see do not identify you by name.

## 3. Cookies we use

| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `cookie_consent` | Example Shop (local storage) | Strictly necessary | Remembers which cookie categories you accepted or rejected | 180 days |
| `_ga` | Google Analytics | Statistics | Distinguishes visitors so visits can be counted | 2 years |
| `_ga_<container-id>` | Google Analytics | Statistics | Keeps the state of your current session | 2 years |

Third-party providers process the data their cookies collect under their own privacy policies, and that may involve transfers to other countries. For Google services, see "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services" (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

## 4. Your consent

When you first visit, a banner asks for your consent before any cookies other than strictly necessary ones are set. You can accept all, reject all, or choose categories; rejecting is as easy as accepting. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before.

## 5. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you see, delete and block cookies in their settings: see the help pages for Chrome (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox), Safari (https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac) and Edge (https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge). Blocking all cookies may stop parts of the Site from working.

- Google Analytics: install the opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

## 6. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.

## 7. Contact

This is a template, not legal advice. Fill in every [bracket], check the table against a cookie scan of your own site, and have it reviewed by a qualified person. Publishing a policy does not by itself make a site compliant.

Cookie names and durations are the ones the providers published when this tool was updated (2026). Providers change them, so re-check after any change to your site.

A cookie policy tells visitors which cookies your site sets, why, for how long and how to refuse them. This generator drafts one from the services you tick — Google Analytics 4, AdSense, Google Ads, the Meta Pixel, Hotjar and YouTube embeds — filling a table with the cookie names, providers, categories and lifetimes those providers publish, and adds consent, opt-out and optional California sections. It is a starting point to adapt, not legal advice.

How to use this tool

Enter the site name, address, owner and contact email.
Say how visitors give consent: your own banner, a consent platform, or no banner if you only use necessary cookies.
Tick each service the site loads and add any other cookies, one per line.
Copy the Markdown or HTML, fill in the [brackets] and compare the table with a real cookie scan.

Formula

Sections: 1 What cookies are · 2 How we use cookies · 3 Cookies we use (table) · 4 Your consent · 5 Managing cookies · 6 California (optional) · Changes · Contact.

Each ticked service adds its rows: Google Analytics 4 adds _ga and _ga_<container-id> (2 years each); AdSense adds __gads and __gpi (13 months), __eoi (6 months, ad security) and IDE on doubleclick.net (13 months in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, 24 months elsewhere), as listed on Google’s own cookie pages.

Example

With the defaults — your own banner and Google Analytics — the table lists 3 cookies: the consent record and the two GA4 cookies, and the policy has 7 sections. Ticking every service and the California section gives 16 cookies in 8 sections.

Frequently asked questions

Does a cookie policy make my site GDPR compliant?

No. In the EEA and the UK the law requires prior, freely given consent before non-essential cookies are set, so the banner and the site’s code must actually block them until the visitor agrees. The policy only describes what happens.

Can I use this banner setting with Google AdSense?

For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland Google requires a Google-certified consent management platform that supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Choose the CMP option and use the cookie list your CMP provides.

Why might the durations differ from what my browser shows?

Providers revise their cookies, and many refresh the expiry on each visit. Run a cookie scan of your own site and correct the table if it differs.
