Are free privacy policy generators safe to use?

They're a fine starting point, but many produce boilerplate that names only California or ignores cookies entirely — and some carry their own disclaimer that the output isn't legal advice and is used at your own risk. The weakness is fit: a checkbox tool can't see that you hold client data or take payments. GitLaw drafts from what your site does, and you can still have a lawyer review the result.

What's the difference between terms of service, terms of use and T&Cs?

Nothing legal — terms of service, terms of use and T&Cs are interchangeable names for the contract between your site and its visitors. What matters is the content: acceptable use, limits on liability, intellectual property, governing law and, if you sell, consumer-law terms. GitLaw drafts the terms your site's activity calls for, whatever you label them.

Do I need a lawyer for my website terms — and are they required in the UK?

Terms aren't mandatory just to have a website, but they matter the moment you sell, host user content or want to limit your liability — and UK consumer law makes certain pre-contract information mandatory if you sell to consumers. Terms are generally enforceable where visitors have reasonable notice and accept them. You don't need a lawyer to start, but a review before you rely on them is sensible.

Do I still need a cookie banner in the UK after the 2025/26 changes?

For advertising and tracking cookies, yes — you still need consent. The Data Use and Access Act 2025 carved out some first-party analytics and functionality cookies from the prior-consent rule where conditions are met (clear information and an easy opt-out). It narrows what needs a banner; it doesn't remove banners. In the US there's no federal banner rule, but several state laws require you to honour opt-out-of-sale/share signals.

Does GDPR apply to my US or UK business if I have EU visitors?

It can. The GDPR reaches organisations outside the EU where they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, people in the EU — so an agency or shop that targets EU customers may be in scope even without an EU office. Whether you're caught depends on what you do, not just where you're based. GitLaw asks about your audience before it drafts.

What must a UK company legally display on its website?

Under the Companies Act trading-disclosure rules, a UK limited company must show its registered company name, company number, place of registration and registered office address on its website, plus contact and VAT details where relevant. Most privacy-policy generators skip this entirely — GitLaw builds it into your terms and site footer text.

Do I need separate legal pages for each client website I build?

Yes — each site's pages should reflect that site's business and data, so a shared or copied policy is a poor fit and a real risk. GitLaw is built for this: re-run the pack per client site, and the documents belong to the client rather than sitting inside a subscription you resell. No per-site licence.

Privacy + cookie policy + terms

WEBSITE LEGAL PACK — drafted 6 August 2026 A privacy policy on its own rarely covers a real website. The pack is the set that cross-references cleanly: 1. Privacy policy — tailored to what examplecompany.com collects, in UK GDPR or US multi-state wording 2. Cookie policy — matched to the cookies you actually set. UK drafts reflect the 2025 cookie-law changes (some analytics and functionality cookies no longer need prior consent where conditions are met); US drafts handle state opt-out-of-sale/share signals 3. Website terms — acceptable use, liability, IP and governing law. UK terms include the company details a limited company must show under the Companies Act One conversation, one coherent set — not a policy here and terms bought separately there. GitLaw drafts to your actual stack. It doesn't monitor the law for you or auto-update your live pages — when you change what the site does, you re-run it and it redrafts.

What a generic policy misses

Checkbox generators ask 'Google Analytics? ☐' — they can't see that you hold client data, take deposits or run analytics for other people. A policy that doesn't match your site is one a regulator, or a client, can see straight through.

20 statesUS states now have comprehensive privacy laws — most generic templates name only California (figures change; we draft to current law)

Feb 2026UK cookie rules changed under the Data Use and Access Act 2025 — templates written before then are already behind

Companies ActUK limited companies must show their registered name, number and office on their website — a rule most privacy generators ignore

MultiState 2026 state-privacy tracker; Data Use and Access Act 2025 (gov.uk); Companies Act 2006 trading-disclosure requirements. Figures change — GitLaw drafts to current law, and this is not legal advice.

Not another checkbox generator

GitLaw is an AI legal agent — it reads your site, then drafts.

Describe what your website does in plain English. GitLaw works out which pages you need, drafts them to your actual stack and jurisdiction, and keeps them in a workspace you can reuse for the next site.

Asks about your real stackClient portal? Payments? Analytics for other people? The answers change the clauses — so it asks, instead of guessing from a checkbox.

Drafts to current lawUK drafts reflect the 2025 cookie changes and Companies Act disclosures; US drafts the multi-state privacy landscape. It tailors the draft — it doesn't auto-update pages you've already published.

Remembers your businessYour company details and past documents feed the next draft — so a second site takes minutes, not another hour of forms.
