Cookie disclosure: does your policy explain the cookies you set?

This is part of our series explaining every check in the ClauseReport model. It is general information, not legal advice.

What ClauseReport checks

This is an AI-assisted check in the Disclosure category. ClauseReport looks for whether cookie usage disclosed is addressed on the site or in its published policy.

Why it matters

Clear, accurate disclosures build trust with visitors and make the rest of your compliance work easier. The point isn’t to render a legal verdict — it’s to surface a factual gap you (or your counsel) can act on.

What a clean result looks like

A clear cookies section describing what cookies are used for and how a visitor can control them.

The common gap

A policy that’s silent on cookies even though the site sets analytics or preference cookies.

ClauseReport scans any website’s privacy policy and terms of service and reports findings like this one — factual observations, never legal conclusions. Run a free scan to see how your site does on this check.
