Cookie Policy Generator for E-Commerce

Create a Cookie Policy for your online store. Covers shopping cart cookies, payment cookies, remarketing pixels, analytics tracking, and personalization cookies.

E-commerce websites typically use more cookies than any other type of site. Between shopping cart persistence, payment processing, product recommendations, remarketing campaigns, analytics tracking, and fraud prevention, an average online store sets dozens of cookies per visitor. Your cookie policy needs to account for all of them.

Remarketing and advertising cookies are the biggest compliance challenge for e-commerce sites. Facebook Pixel, Google Ads remarketing tags, Criteo, and dynamic retargeting platforms all set cookies to track user behavior across the web. Under GDPR and similar frameworks, these marketing cookies require explicit consent before they fire, and users must be able to shop on your site even if they decline these cookies.

Our e-commerce cookie policy generator covers the specific cookie categories that online stores use: session and cart cookies (strictly necessary), preference and localization cookies (functional), analytics and conversion tracking cookies, and marketing and retargeting cookies. It produces a clear, organized policy that your customers can understand and regulators can verify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my store function without marketing cookies?
Yes, and under GDPR it must. Strictly necessary cookies (cart, session, authentication, security) work without consent. Users who decline marketing cookies should still be able to browse, add to cart, and complete purchases. Your site must be fully functional without analytics or marketing cookies.
Are shopping cart cookies considered 'strictly necessary'?
Yes. Cookies that store cart contents, maintain a user's session, and enable the checkout process are considered strictly necessary for the service the user has requested. These do not require consent. However, cookies that track what products a user viewed for remarketing purposes are NOT necessary and do require consent.
How do I handle cookies from my e-commerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce)?
Your cookie policy should list the cookies your e-commerce platform sets by default (session, cart, preferences, analytics) and distinguish between platform-essential cookies and optional ones. For Shopify, some cookies are managed at the platform level, while others come from apps you install. Document all of them.
