If your site has a contact form, analytics, a newsletter, or a checkout, it collects personal data. And laws like the GDPR and the CCPA require a privacy policy that says what you collect and why.
A generator writes that policy from your answers to a short questionnaire. The good ones also keep it up to date and run your cookie banner.
We compared 11 of them on price, free plans, cookie banners, automatic updates, and how each one gets onto a WordPress site.
Here’s the tl;dr:
- Best for WordPress: WPLP Compliance Platform. Privacy policy, 30+ legal pages, and cookie consent in 2 WordPress plugins, from $48 a year for 3 sites.
- Best for global compliance: iubenda. Strong multi-language support, priced per site.
- Best one-time payment: TermsFeed. Pay once per policy, priced by the clauses you need.
- Best free option: FreePrivacyPolicy.com or the Shopify generator, if you don’t need updates or a cookie banner.
How we compared them
We checked each tool’s own pricing and product pages on 27 October 2026. We looked at 6 things:
- Laws covered: GDPR, CCPA, and other regional laws.
- Ease of use: how long it takes to answer the questionnaire and publish.
- Customization: can you edit the text, add clauses, and match your site?
- Automatic updates: does the vendor say it updates your policy when laws change?
- Extra compliance features: cookie banner, consent logs, data request forms.
- Price and value: cost per site, and how that grows when you add sites.
Prices change often. Check the vendor’s page before you buy.

Privacy policy examples by site type
Every generator asks what kind of site you run, because the policy changes with it. Here’s how the opening of a policy differs for 3 common site types. Use these to check what your generator produces. Don’t publish them as-is: a privacy policy must describe what your site actually does.
Simple website or blog
This privacy policy explains how [Your Company] collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit [yourdomain.com].
We collect your name and email address when you contact us or join our newsletter. We also collect usage data, such as pages visited and time on site, through analytics cookies. We use this information to reply to you, send updates you asked for, and improve the site.
What to check: every form on the site is covered, and every analytics or embed tool is named.
Ecommerce store
When you shop with us, we collect order information, including your name, billing and shipping address, email, phone number, and payment method. Our payment provider, [Provider], processes your card details. We don’t store them.
We use analytics and marketing tools to understand how people use our store and to show relevant ads. We process your data in line with the GDPR and the CCPA, where they apply.
What to check: payment, shipping, and marketing partners are named, and the policy says how long you keep order records.
Mobile app
This policy describes how the [App Name] mobile app collects, uses, and shares device and personal data.
We collect your location (if you allow it), usage statistics, and device identifiers. We use them to run the app and fix problems. We keep this data only as long as we need it to provide and improve the app.
What to check: each device permission the app asks for is explained, and the policy matches what you declared in the app store.
Best free privacy policy generators
Free generators are fine for a personal blog or a small site with 1 contact form. Most free plans have the same limits: no automatic updates, little editing, and no consent banner.
| Free option | What you get | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| WPLP Legal Pages | Privacy policy, Terms of Use, DMCA, and CCPA pages, published inside WordPress, plus a free cookie consent plugin | 1 site |
| FreePrivacyPolicy.com | Free policy with hosting, HTML copy, and download | Basic clauses only |
| Shopify generator | Free privacy, refund, and terms templates, emailed to you | No updates, no banner |
| CookieYes generator | Free policy that the vendor says updates as laws change | Sign-up needed. The banner is a separate product |
| TermsFeed “Simple” policy | Free basic policy | Fewer clauses, and you must keep a credits link |
| Termly free plan | 1 basic policy, cookie banner, 10,000 banner views a month | 1 site |
If your site sells products, runs ads, or has visitors in the EU or California, a free policy usually isn’t enough. You’ll want updates when laws change, and a banner that blocks trackers until visitors agree.

How to choose the right privacy policy generator
Start with 3 questions: what platform your site runs on, how many sites you manage, and whether you need a cookie banner too.
- Choose WPLP Compliance Platform if your site runs on WordPress and you want the privacy policy, other legal pages, and cookie consent from one vendor, priced by site count.
- Choose Termly if you want a policy and banner on a non-WordPress platform, and you run 1 or 2 sites.
- Choose Complianz if you mainly need a WordPress cookie plugin and a privacy statement is enough.
- Choose iubenda if you need policies in many languages for visitors in many countries.
- Choose TermsFeed or PrivacyPolicies.com if you want to pay once and update the policy yourself.
- Choose FreePrivacyPolicy.com or the Shopify generator if you run a small personal site and need a free starting draft.
Whatever you choose, read the result before you publish. A generator only knows what you tell it. If your site uses a tool the questionnaire didn’t ask about, add it. See what a privacy policy needs to include.
FAQs
In most cases, yes. If your site collects personal data through forms, sign-ups, analytics, accounts, checkouts, or cookies, laws like the GDPR, the CCPA, and CalOPPA require a privacy policy.
A generator is a practical start for most blogs, small businesses, and startups. A lawyer makes sense for complex data use, health or financial data, or high legal risk. See do you need a lawyer to create a privacy policy?
WPLP Compliance Platform is built for WordPress. It publishes the policy inside WordPress and adds cookie consent from the same vendor. Complianz is a strong choice if you mainly need a cookie plugin.
Conclusion
A privacy policy generator saves you hours and gives you a solid first draft. The right one depends on your platform, your site count, and whether you need a cookie banner.
On WordPress, a plugin that publishes the policy inside your site and runs your cookie consent saves the most work. Off WordPress, Termly and iubenda cover both, but you pay per site.
Whichever you pick, review the result, keep it current, and link it from your footer and your cookie banner. For setup steps, see how to create a WordPress privacy policy.
