I will create a compliant cookie policy to prevent illegal tracking lawsuits
Licensed UK Solicitor SRA 279641 Data Privacy and Tech Law Expert
About this Gig
Regulators are actively cracking down on websites that track users without proper legal frameworks. Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), you cannot drop non-essential cookies (like Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics) without explicit, informed consent.
As a licensed UK Solicitor (SRA 279641), I draft precise Cookie Policies that ensure your website is fully compliant, protecting you from privacy complaints and regulatory fines.
What your custom Cookie Policy will include:
- Clear explanations of what cookies are and why your site uses them.
- Legal categorization of cookies (Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functional, Targeting).
- Duration and source of the cookies (First-party vs. Third-party).
- Clear instructions for users on how to manage, block, or withdraw consent.
If you choose the Standard or Premium packages, I will also provide the exact legal wording required for your Cookie Consent Banner, ensuring it meets the threshold for "freely given" consent.
Order directly to ensure your tracking and marketing efforts are strictly legal.

FAQ
Is a Cookie Policy different from a Privacy Policy?
Yes. While a Privacy Policy covers all personal data, a Cookie Policy specifically addresses tracking technologies under PECR/ePrivacy laws. You legally need both.
Does this Gig include installing the banner on my website?
No, I am a solicitor, not a web developer. I provide the legal text and policy document; your developer or consent management platform (CMP) will implement it.
What happens if I don't have a Cookie Policy?
You risk fines from the ICO, blocking of your advertising accounts (Google Ads now requires verified consent policies), and lawsuits from privacy advocates.
What is the website audit in the Premium package?
I will review your website URL to identify and legally categorize the visible third-party trackers and cookies currently dropping on your site.
Do I need a cookie policy if I only use Google Analytics?
Yes. Google Analytics uses "performance/analytical" cookies, which legally require user consent and a formal policy before they are loaded onto the user's browser.
