Cookies policy purposes
A cookies policy is a notice on a website that explains how the website operator uses cookies. The purpose of a cookies policy is twofold: to inform visitors about the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, and to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws.
Information provided to users about cookies will typically include information about the types of cookies used on their site, the purposes for which the cookies are used, the information collected by the website operator using the cookies, and mechanisms for blocking, deleting and managing cookies. For sites with more exotic cookie use, cookies policies are particularly important in providing transparency to users.
Many countries have privacy laws and regulations that require website owners to disclose their use of cookies, particularly for cookies that contain or are used to collect personal information. A cookies policy helps meet these legal requirements. This particular policy template has been designed with UK and EU privacy laws in mind. For applicable UK laws, see: Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and the amendments thereto in the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
The use of cookies may also require the express consent of the user.
In addition, where the use of cookies involves the processing of personal data, data protection law requires the disclosure of information about such processing to data subjects.
The following sections are included in the cookie policy: (1) about cookies; (2) this cookies policy; (3) cookies on this website; (4) how we use cookies; (5) third party cookies; (6) blocking cookies; (7) deleting cookies; and (8) contact us.

I have seen so many coded websites a) that already inject cookies b) allow an end user to surf half the websites content, before the jscripts kick in to prompt the end user consent form. Surely that is also illegal? if the law is to be effective then shouldn’t all websites be consealed with a front door consent form. The law isn’t strict enough and is almost optional.
i liked your idea to provide such kind of policies
If the website only uses google analytics, then you can create a link to cookiestatement.eu for a simple legal solution.
