Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The content of your cookie statement depends on which cookies you place and which parties are involved. Answer the questions below before drafting the statement.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Which cookies do you place yourself Functional cookies may be used without consent, while analytical and marketing cookies often require consent.
Do you work with third parties? Services such as advertising networks or social media place their own cookies that you must accept.
Do you use analytics in a privacy-friendly way? For fully anonymous statistics, the consent requirement may be waived; check the settings.
Where are your visitors located? For visitors from outside the EU, pay attention to data transfer and additional safeguards.
How do you register consent You must be able to demonstrate who made which choice and when; record the method of retention.
Clauses and provisions

Which elements belong in a cookie statement?

A complete cookie statement describes not only which cookies you place, but also why, for how long, and how the visitor can change their choice. The sections below together form a comprehensive statement.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
What are cookies Always Brief explanation of cookies and similar technologies such as pixels and local storage.
Overview per cookie Always Name, provider, purpose, retention period and type (functional, analytical, marketing).
Purpose and legal basis Always For each category, the purpose and whether consent is required or an exception applies.
Consent and withdrawal With tracking cookies How the visitor gives, refuses, and withdraws consent at any time.
Third parties Regarding external cookies Which parties are monitoring and a reference to their privacy policy.
Retention periods Always The lifespan per cookie, so that it is clear how long data remains.
Change settings Always Reference to the cookie banner or browser settings to adjust choices.
Contact and date Always Contact details for questions and the date of last modification.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A cookie declaration is not a one-off document. You link the declaration to a working cookie banner and keep both up to date.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
At launch Post the declaration and link a consent banner Visitors must choose in advance before non-functional cookies load.
With new tools Update the cookie overview Every new service may place new cookies that you must disclose.
Periodically Check cookies and expiration dates Cookies change; an audit keeps the statement accurate.
For questions or complaints Refer to the statement and show the consent log This is how you substantiate that you act transparently and demonstrably.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

Compliance with cookie declarations is often where things go wrong in practice. The errors below are the most common and are easy to prevent.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Loading cookies for consent Violation and risk of fine Block non-functional cookies until the visitor agrees.
Copy statement from another site Incorrect content and liability Tailor the statement to the cookies you actually place.
Enable accept only No free consent, therefore invalid Offer to decline just as easily as to accept.
No retention periods stated Incomplete information State the lifespan and purpose for each cookie.
Statement never updated Outdated and unreliable Check and date the statement regularly.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Which cookie declaration you need depends on the type of website and the technologies used. Do you recognize your situation below?.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Only functional cookies Your site only uses cookies that are necessary to function Providing information suffices; a consent banner is not required.
Website with statistics You measure visitor behavior with analytics Check whether the measurement is set up in a privacy-friendly manner or requests consent.
Webshop with marketing You use advertising and tracking cookies Prior consent and making refusal just as easy as acceptance are mandatory.
Many external services Social media, video, and chat place cookies Name every third party and refer to their privacy policy.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

A cookie declaration only governs the placement of cookies. For the broader processing of personal data and agreements with partners, you require additional documents.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
A supplier processes personal data for you Data Processing Agreement Document agreements with parties that process data on your behalf, such as an analytics service.
You share confidential data with a partner Confidentiality Agreement Protect business and personal data that you exchange outside of cookies.
You collaborate structurally with other parties Cooperation Agreement Regulate roles, responsibilities, and data usage in a broader collaboration.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a cookie statement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what a cookie declaration is, when you need one, and which risks they must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what you should look out for, and why customized legal advice is important.

What is a cookie statement?
A cookie declaration is the document on your website that informs visitors about which cookies your website places, what those cookies are used for, how long they are active, and how visitors can refuse or delete them. The cookie declaration is mandatory under the Telecommunications Act (Article 11.7a) and the GDPR, and is closely linked to your cookie banner and your privacy statement. The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) actively enforce cookie compliance. In 2020, the ACM published guidelines for cookie banners and fined several large enterprises for failing to adequately inform about and correctly obtain consent for tracking cookies. Our lawyers draft a cookie declaration for your website that meets current legal requirements, aligns with your cookie banner and privacy statement, and protects you during an inspection by the AP or ACM.
For which cookies is consent required and for which is it not?
This distinction is the core of every cookie declaration. Not all cookies are created equal. Functional or necessary cookies are required for the operation of the website — session management, shopping cart, login functionality — and are exempt from the consent requirement. Analytical cookies , which are used exclusively to analyze website visits and where the data is not used for other purposes, are permitted to a limited extent without prior consent, provided the privacy infringement is minimal. In the Dutch interpretation, Google Analytics cookies require an anonymized configuration and a shortened retention period to fall outside the consent requirement. Tracking and marketing cookies — including all third-party cookies for remarketing, personalized advertisements, and social media buttons that send data to external platforms — always require free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before they are placed. Your cookie declaration must clearly explain, per category, which cookies are used and on what legal basis. Our lawyers ensure a cookie declaration that correctly qualifies all categories.
What are the requirements for a legally valid cookie banner?
The cookie banner — the consent mechanism shown to visitors — must meet strict requirements to make consent for non-essential cookies legally valid. The ACM guidelines set the following requirements. Refusing non-essential cookies must just as easy as accepting them: a large "Accept all cookies" button and a hidden or hard-to-find "Refuse" option are not permitted. Prior consent is required: cookies may only be placed after the visitor has actively consented, not before. Consent must granular options : the visitor must be able to choose which categories to accept and which to refuse. Consent based on continued browsing is not sufficient. The cookie banner must contain a link to the full cookie declaration. And consent must be renewed periodically — valid for no longer than one year. Our lawyers assess your cookie banner for compliance with the ACM guidelines.
What information must a cookie statement contain?
A fully compliant cookie statement contains the following information for each cookie or cookie category: The name of the cookie and the party placing it — first party or third party. The purpose of the cookie: functional, analytical, marketing, social media. The retention period: how long does the cookie remain active? The legal basis: necessity for functional cookies, consent for analytical and marketing cookies. The data collected and the manner in which it is processed. Information about the third parties placing the cookies and their privacy policies — particularly when using Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and similar tools. And instructions for refusing, deleting, or modifying cookie settings via the browser and via the cookie preference panel on your website. Our lawyers draft a cookie statement that contains all legally required information, is understandable to your target audience, and is up to date.
How do you keep your cookie statement up to date?
A cookie statement that is complete upon drafting but is not maintained offers no protection during an audit. You are required to update your cookie statement with every change in cookie usage on your website. In practice, this is more challenging than it seems: marketing tools, widgets, social media buttons, and analytics platforms are frequently updated or replaced. Your website may already be placing cookies via third-party scripts that you did not knowingly install. A periodic cookie audit—using tools such as Cookiebot, OneTrust, or a manual scan—provides insight into all cookies your website actually places, including those from third parties. Your cookie statement must also state the date of the last update. Our lawyers advise you on a management process for your cookie statement that ensures updating.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief analysis of your website and the cookies you use, our lawyers draft a cookie statement that complies with the Telecommunications Act, the GDPR, and the ACM guidelines, correctly describes all cookies by category, aligns with your cookie banner and privacy statement, and is understandable to your website visitors. We also advise you on the design of your cookie banner to ensure the consent mechanism is legally valid. Do you have an existing cookie statement that you would like to have checked for currency and compliance? We will review it and draft the necessary adjustments.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
