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 an Edtech App, getting it right matters: Edtech products often serve students, including minors, which can bring COPPA and FERPA into play in the US and generally calls for parental or school consent before collecting a child’s personal data. This free cookie policy generator asks a few questions about your Edtech App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Edtech App 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 an Edtech App cookie policy should cover
A good cookie policy for an Edtech App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- What student data you collect and whether users may be minors
- Parental or school consent for collecting data from children
- How student data is used, shared, and retained, including analytics
- 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 Edtech App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does an edtech app need special privacy handling for students?
Often yes. If your app is directed at or used by children in the US, COPPA can require verifiable parental consent, and FERPA can apply when you handle education records through a school. Reflect this in your policy and confirm specifics with a qualified professional.
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.
