Frequently asked questions
Which laws apply to a cookie policy in Canada?
Canada's PIPEDA governs how private-sector organisations collect, use, and disclose personal information, with meaningful-consent and access requirements. LegalCraft tailors your cookie policy to PIPEDA.
Do I need a cookie policy and a consent banner?
In the EU and UK, non-essential cookies require prior consent (a banner) plus disclosure (a cookie policy). Elsewhere the banner may be optional, but the disclosure is still best practice.
