A privacy policy is a page on your website that outlines how you are collecting users&#8217; information, what information you are collecting and why. It should include how long you keep this information for and where it is stored. You should also include information about who runs the website (i.e. your name) and how users can contact the owners of the site (i.e. an email address of yours that you are happy for people to contact you on).<\/p><p>Once you have created your privacy policy page, you will need to make this easy to find by adding a link to it on the website&#8217;s navigation menu.<\/p><p>WordPress makes it easy for you to create a privacy policy page by allowing you to generate a templated policy that you can then make edits to with information related to your website. To get started, go to <strong>Settings &gt; Privacy<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>How to create a cookie consent banner<\/h4><p>You will have seen cookie consent banners on various website as you browse the internet.

They also ask you whether or not you consent to their use of cookies.<\/p><p>If your website uses cookies you will need to display a cookie consent banner to your users. This cookie notice will make users aware that you have cookies running on your website. This cookie notice should include a way for users to opt-in to the use of cookies and provide a hyperlink to your website&#8217;s privacy policy.<\/p><p>In WordPress, you will need to find a plugin that will allow you to create a cookie consent notice.
