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 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 policy 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 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 Telegram Bot cookie policy should cover
A good cookie policy 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
- 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 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.
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.
