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 Android App, getting it right matters: Google Play requires a privacy policy link in the Play Console and a completed Data safety section that matches what your app actually collects. This free cookie policy generator asks a few questions about your Android App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Android 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 Android App cookie policy should cover
A good cookie policy for an Android App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- Data collected and shared, mirrored in the Play Data safety form
- Permissions your app requests and why
- Advertising IDs and any third-party advertising SDKs
- 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 Android App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Play Store Data safety section relate to my privacy policy?
Google compares your Data safety declarations against your privacy policy. They must be consistent, so write the policy first and use it as the source of truth when filling out the form.
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.
