Privacy Policy Generator: Free, No Sign-Up

A privacy policy generator builds a ready-to-publish privacy policy for your website from a handful of answers. With this free tool, you enter your company name, website name and URL, say whether you show Google AdSense ads, third-party ads and cookies, then copy the text or download it as an HTML file.

What Is a Privacy Policy and Why Does Your Website Need One?

A privacy policy is a public page that tells visitors what personal information your site collects, why you collect it, who receives it and how people can contact you. Typical examples are email addresses typed into a form, IP addresses and identifiers stored in cookies.

Many rules and platforms expect one. Laws such as the EU's GDPR and California's CCPA require transparency about data practices when they apply to your business. Google's AdSense program policies ask publishers to disclose that Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads, and Meta asks for a privacy policy URL when you register an app.

A privacy policy is not the same as terms of service. The privacy policy explains how data is handled, while terms set the rules for using your site. This tool produces the privacy policy only.

How to Use the Privacy Policy Generator

The tool works in three steps labeled Website, Details and Result, and it takes about a minute to complete.

1. Type your business name in Company Name. If you do not have a registered company, enter your website name, as the hint under the field suggests.
2. Enter the public name of your site in Website Name, for example My Website.
3. Enter your domain in Website URL, for example example.com. Adding https:// in front is optional.
4. Click Continue. If a field is empty, a message such as "Enter your website URL!" tells you what to fill in.
5. Answer the three Yes or No questions: AdSense advertising, third-party advertising and cookies. All three must be answered. Use Back if you need to fix a name or URL.
6. Click Generate. The Result step shows Your Privacy Policy in a text box with a live Preview underneath.
7. Review the text, use Modify if you want to adjust it, then choose Copy to Clipboard or Download as HTML to save a file named privacy-policy.html.

Example: A Food Blog With AdSense and Cookies

Say you run a food blog and want a policy before applying for ads. You enter Green Fork Media LLC as the Company Name, Green Fork Kitchen as the Website Name and greenforkkitchen.com as the Website URL.

On the Details step you answer Yes to AdSense, No to third-party ads and Yes to cookies. After you click Generate, the policy uses your names and web address and reflects those three answers. Read the preview and confirm that advertising through AdSense and cookie use are both described, and that no other ad networks are mentioned.

Next, paste the text into a new page, publish it at greenforkkitchen.com/privacy-policy and link it from your footer. That page address is your privacy policy URL.

How Do You Get a Privacy Policy URL?

You get a privacy policy URL by publishing the generated text on a page of your own site, because the tool gives you text and an HTML file, not a hosted link. Create a page such as /privacy-policy, paste the copied text or the downloaded HTML, publish it and copy the full address.

Paste that address wherever a form asks for a privacy policy link: Meta (Facebook) app settings, ad account setup, app store listings or your store platform's legal settings. Open the URL in a private window first to confirm it loads without a login.

Using the policy for a mobile app

The tool asks only for website details, so it does not add app-specific items such as device permissions, in-app purchases or analytics SDKs. Publish the policy on your site, then edit the text to cover how your app actually handles data before you submit the link to an app store.

What Do the Advertising and Cookie Questions Change?

Each Yes or No answer controls which advertising and cookie disclosures appear in your policy, so answer based on what visitors really load on your pages.

Google AdSense

Answer Yes if AdSense code runs on any page, including Auto ads. Answer No if you have only applied and nothing is live yet.

Third-party ads

Answer Yes if another company's ad network, exchange or sponsored widget loads on your pages. A plain link to a partner that sets no tracking on your site is different from an ad script.

Cookies

Answer Yes if your site sets cookies or loads tools that do, such as analytics, embedded videos, social buttons, comment systems or login sessions. Most sites that use analytics should answer Yes. When you are unsure, check the storage panel in your browser's developer tools.

Who Should Use a Free Privacy Policy Generator?

Anyone who needs a clear first draft quickly will save time here, especially owners of small sites without a legal budget.

• Bloggers preparing an AdSense application or adding ads.
• Small business, portfolio and landing page owners who collect contact form messages.
• New online store owners drafting a policy before a lawyer reviews it.
• Freelancers and developers who need a policy page ready for a client launch.
• Advertisers who must supply a privacy policy URL for a Meta or other ad account.

You can find more writing helpers in the Content Writing Tools category.

Best Practices, Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting

Most problems come from inaccurate answers or a policy that never gets published or updated.

• Match answers to reality. Answering No to cookies while running analytics creates a policy that contradicts your site.
• Use the exact domain. Enter the domain you will publish on, not a staging address.
• Add what the form cannot ask. If you use an email service, payment processor or contact form, add a sentence naming each one and what data it receives.
• Check for contact details. Make sure visitors can reach you with privacy questions, and add an email address if the text lacks one.
• Link it everywhere it matters. Put the link in your footer and next to sign-up forms and checkout.
• Polish the wording. Run the text through the grammar checker, and use the passive voice checker to make long clauses easier to read.
• Review it on a schedule. Update the policy whenever you add a new tool, ad partner or form. A yearly review is a common habit.

If you see "Please answer all questions!", one of the three radio questions is still unanswered. If you see "Generation failed!" or "Request failed. Please try again.", click Generate again after checking your connection. To check the length of the final text, paste it into the line counter.

Limitations You Should Know About

The generator produces a draft from six pieces of information, so it cannot know your real data practices. It does not ask about email marketing, payment providers, analytics products, children's data or selling personal information.

It is not legal advice, and no generated text can guarantee compliance with every law. If you handle sensitive data, serve children, sell data or operate in a regulated industry, have a qualified attorney review the final policy. The tool also does not create terms of service or a cookie consent banner.

Start with the form above: enter your details, answer the three questions and generate a policy you can publish, copy or download in minutes. Then review it against how your site really works and add anything missing.
