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 Newsletter, getting it right matters: Sending a newsletter means collecting subscriber emails and, often, tracking opens and clicks, which puts you under consent and unsubscribe rules such as CAN-SPAM and the GDPR. This free cookie banner generator asks a few questions about your Newsletter and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Newsletter 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 Newsletter cookie banner should cover
A good cookie banner for a Newsletter is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- How subscribers sign up and confirm consent to receive email
- Open and click tracking, if your email service provider uses it
- A one-click unsubscribe link in every message
- 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 Newsletter, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a privacy policy just for a newsletter?
Yes. Even a simple newsletter collects email addresses and, through most email service providers, tracks opens and clicks. Disclose this, get clear consent to send email, and include an unsubscribe link in every send.
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.
