A cookie policy is a standalone reference page that lists the cookies and similar technologies your product uses, what each one is for, how long it lasts, and how visitors can control them. For a Discord Bot, getting it right matters: Discord’s Developer Terms of Service require a privacy policy link in your application’s settings whenever your bot stores or processes user or message data, and the Developer Policy limits how that data can be used. This free cookie policy generator asks a few questions about your Discord Bot and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Discord Bot needs a cookie policy
Under the GDPR, the ePrivacy rules, and laws like the CCPA you must disclose the cookies you set and, for non-essential ones, obtain consent. A cookie policy is where you document them in full and link to from your banner.

What a Discord Bot cookie policy should cover
A good cookie policy for a Discord Bot is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- What message content, user IDs, and server data your bot stores or processes
- How long you retain logs, message content, or user data
- The Privacy Policy URL you list in the Discord Developer Portal
- Each cookie or category, its purpose, and how long it lasts
- First-party versus third-party cookies and the providers behind them
- How visitors accept, reject, or withdraw consent
- A link back from your cookie banner to this policy
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your cookie policy 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 Discord Bot, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Discord bot need a privacy policy?
Yes, if it accesses message content, stores user or server data, or requests privileged intents. Discord requires a privacy policy link in the Developer Portal for verified bots, and its Developer Policy limits how collected data can be used.
What is the difference between a cookie policy and a cookie banner?
The banner is the short consent notice shown when someone arrives; the cookie policy is the full reference page it links to, listing every cookie and its purpose.
Do I need a cookie policy if I only use essential cookies?
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, but disclosing them is still good practice. A short cookie policy alongside your privacy policy covers it.
