A cookie banner is the notice that informs visitors about the cookies you use and, where required, lets them accept or decline non-essential cookies. For a Slack App, getting it right matters: Listing an app in the Slack App Directory requires a published privacy policy, and Slack’s API Terms of Service govern how you may use the OAuth scopes and workspace data your app requests. This free cookie banner generator asks a few questions about your Slack App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Slack App needs a cookie banner
Under the EU ePrivacy rules and the GDPR, you generally need consent before setting non-essential cookies, and a clear notice explaining them.

What a Slack App cookie banner should cover
A good cookie banner for a Slack App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- The OAuth scopes your app requests and why each one is needed
- Workspace, channel, and message data your app can access
- How data is handled if a workspace uninstalls the app
- A plain-language description of the cookies you set
- The purpose of each cookie category
- How visitors can control or withdraw consent
- A link to your full privacy policy
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your cookie banner entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your Slack App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Slack app need a privacy policy to get listed?
Yes. Slack App Directory review requires a reachable privacy policy URL, and it should match the OAuth scopes and workspace data your app actually requests.
When is a cookie banner legally required?
If you serve EU or UK visitors and set any non-essential cookies — analytics, advertising, or embedded media — you generally need a consent banner before those cookies load.
Do I need a banner for strictly necessary cookies?
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, but you should still disclose them. A short notice plus your privacy policy covers this.
