What is GetTerms?

GetTerms is a tool for generating legally compliant cookie banners and website policies without requiring legal expertise. It helps website owners meet data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws by automating the creation of cookie consent notices and privacy documentation. The tool guides you through a straightforward questionnaire about your website's data collection practices, then generates customised banners and policy documents ready to deploy. It's designed for small business owners, website managers, and digital marketers who need compliance but lack the budget for legal consultants.
