Crear una política de cookies no requiere un abogado ni semanas de trabajo. Esta guía explica qué es una política de cookies, qué leyes la exigen, exactamente qué debe contener y cómo generar una conforme en minutos con una herramienta online gratuita.

Key takeaways

  • Una política de cookies es un requisito legal en la UE, el Reino Unido y para muchos sitios de EE. UU. — debe divulgar cada categoría de cookies, nombrar cada servicio de terceros y explicar cómo pueden los usuarios rechazarlas.
  • El GDPR y la Directiva ePrivacy exigen consentimiento previo para las cookies no esenciales de los usuarios de la UE — la simple divulgación no es suficiente.
  • El Generador de Políticas de Cookies crea una política personalizada y específica por jurisdicción en menos de tres minutos sin registro.
  • Las cookies estrictamente necesarias no requieren consentimiento; las de analítica, funcionales y publicitarias requieren aceptación explícita bajo el GDPR.
  • Una política de cookies y una política de privacidad son documentos distintos con distinto alcance — normalmente se requieren ambos para cumplir el GDPR.
  • Actualiza tu política de cookies cada vez que añadas, elimines o cambies un servicio de rastreo de terceros — una política obsoleta representa erróneamente tus prácticas reales de datos.
  • Enlaza tu política de cookies directamente desde tu banner de consentimiento, tu política de privacidad y el pie de página de tu sitio para el cumplimiento completo del aviso por capas del GDPR.

Preguntas frecuentes

Yes, if your website uses any cookies beyond strictly necessary session cookies and you target users in the EU, UK, or California. The GDPR and ePrivacy Directive (EU Cookie Law) require websites to disclose which cookies they use and obtain consent for non-essential ones before setting them. CCPA requires California residents to be informed about tracking and given opt-out rights. Even for US-only sites without California users, a cookie policy is good practice and required by most ad networks as part of their publisher agreements.

A privacy policy covers all personal data your website collects - names, email addresses, account information, browsing behaviour, IP addresses - how you use it, who you share it with, and how users can exercise their rights. A cookie policy is a more focused document specifically about cookies and similar tracking technologies (pixels, local storage, fingerprinting). The two documents overlap because cookies often collect personal data, but regulators in the EU and UK treat them as distinct requirements. Many sites combine them into a single document with a dedicated cookie section.

You must disclose all cookie categories: strictly necessary cookies (authentication, shopping carts, security), functional cookies (language preferences, saved settings), analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Matomo, Hotjar), advertising and targeting cookies (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, programmatic ad networks), and any third-party embeds that set cookies (YouTube, Vimeo, social share buttons). For each category, you should name the specific cookies, their purpose, who sets them, and how long they persist.

The Aback Tools Cookie Policy Generator creates a comprehensive, customised cookie policy in under two minutes at no cost. Enter your website name, URL, and contact email, select the cookie categories you use, name the third-party services you embed, and choose the applicable jurisdictions. The generator produces a complete policy document with accurate legal language covering GDPR, ePrivacy, and CCPA. No account or payment is required. Copy the output and publish it to a dedicated cookie policy page on your site.

A cookie policy should be comprehensive enough to cover all cookie categories and named third-party services, but concise enough to be readable. For a typical small business website using Google Analytics and a few social share buttons, a cookie policy of 500-1,000 words is usually sufficient. Larger sites with advertising networks, affiliate tracking, and multiple analytics tools may need 1,500+ words to name every service. The generator adapts the length to the services you select - you do not need to write it from scratch.

Publish your cookie policy at a dedicated URL - typically /cookie-policy or /cookies. Link to it from three places: your cookie consent banner or pop-up (so users can read the policy before accepting), your privacy policy (as a referenced document), and your website footer (alongside your privacy policy and terms of service links). If you use a Cookie Management Platform (CMP) like Cookiebot, OneTrust, or Complianz, the CMP settings usually let you specify your policy URL so it is referenced automatically in the consent banner.

Consequences vary by jurisdiction and enforcement history. Under GDPR, the maximum fine for non-compliance is €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover - though supervisory authorities typically issue warnings and corrective orders for first-time violations before imposing fines. Practically, many ad networks (Google AdSense, AdSense for Search) require a compliant cookie policy and privacy policy as a condition of publisher accounts. A missing policy can result in account suspension and lost ad revenue, which is a more immediate consequence than regulatory action for most small sites.

No. Cookie policies must reflect the specific cookies and third-party services your site actually uses. A cookie policy for a blog using Google Analytics is materially different from one for an e-commerce site using Stripe, Facebook Pixel, and affiliate tracking. Using a generic template without customising the cookie list and third-party disclosures is a compliance risk - regulators and users can verify the claims in your policy against the actual cookies your site sets. Use a generator that produces customised output based on your specific inputs.
