Create a cookie policy
This guide show you how to create a cookie policy and use built-in features to keep your policy up-to-date automatically!
You must have a cookie policy that your visitors can read when they accept cookies. This is how it looks in the Openli widget:
Before following these steps, please be sure that you have:
To create your first cookie policy, click on "Agreements" in the Openli dashboard. Click on "New agreement" and select cookie policy. Give your agreement a title and save it.
Once you have created your agreement, you are asked to fill out the policy.
When you fill out the policy, you can use our tags for describing your cookie providers.
We highly recommend that you do so, as Openli will automatically update your policy. Scanning for cookies, adding, editing or deleting a cookie provider or adding a cookie to a provider will create a new revision of all cookie policies on a given project.
Tag | Description |
[[LIST_NECESSARY_PROVIDERS]] | This tag will show a table of your necessary cookie providers and the cookies that they set on your site. |
[[LIST_ANALYTICS_PROVIDERS]] | This tag will show a table of your analytics cookie providers and the cookies that they set on your site. |
[[LIST_MARKETING_PROVIDERS]] | This tag will show a table of your marketing cookie providers and the cookies that they set on your site. |
If you use the tags above, Openli generates a table that lists all of your providers within the specified category.
Once you are satisfied with your policy, you can save it by clicking the green button "Save Draft". When you save your draft, you are asked to provide some editorial notes, so you'll have a revision trail.
If you're finished with your draft, you can publish it. When you publish your draft, it is live in your widgets and new users will consent to the new version of your cookie policy.
If you wish to update your policy in the future, you can press "Update agreement" to create a new revision of your cookie policy.
Congratulations on completing your first step towards collecting compliant cookie consent. Pat your self on the back and know that our privacy mascot Li is proud of you.
