What this generator asks, and what it writes
Ten questions produce a document of 10 sections. Answers change the wording, not just the blanks, so two sites with different obligations get different policies.
The questions
What is the business called?
The party responsible for the cookies the site sets.
What is the website address?
Cookies are scoped to a domain, so one policy covers one domain.
How should people reach you about cookies?

Choices: Email address, Contact form on the site, Mailing address, Email and mailing address.
What is the address?
Printed in the contact section exactly as written.

Choices: Preferences and functionality, Analytics and performance, Advertising and targeting, Nothing, only the strictly necessary ones.
Which third party services run on the site?
Each one is named in the policy, because a visitor cannot consent to something unnamed.

Where consent is required, it has to be collected before anything optional is set.

Where are your visitors?
The EU and UK require consent before setting. Most of the US does not.
