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 Telegram Bot, getting it right matters: The Telegram Bot API Terms of Service require bots that process user data to be transparent about it, and any bot that stores message content, user IDs, or chat history should link to a privacy policy. This free cookie banner generator asks a few questions about your Telegram Bot and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Telegram Bot 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.
The Telegram Bot API Terms of Service require bots that process user data to be transparent about it, and any bot that stores message content, user IDs, or chat history should link to a privacy policy.
What a Telegram Bot cookie banner should cover
A good cookie banner for a Telegram Bot is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- What message content, usernames, and chat or user IDs your bot stores
- Whether data from group chats is treated differently from direct messages
- How long you retain logs and how users can request deletion
- 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 Telegram Bot, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Telegram bot need a privacy policy?
If it stores messages, user IDs, or any other data beyond what is needed to respond in real time, yes. The Telegram Bot API Terms of Service expect transparency about data handling, and a linked privacy policy is the standard way to provide it.
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.
