Online Shop Privacy and Cookie Notice

About this document

What it’s for

Online shops collect a lot of personal data – order details, addresses, payment information (through payment providers), browsing data and marketing preferences. UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require you to explain this clearly and to get consent for most cookies and for marketing. This template is tailored for e-commerce.

When to use it

  • On your website, linked from every page footer and the checkout
  • When you add new apps, plug-ins, analytics or advertising tools
  • Review at least once a year

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  1. Who we are
  2. What we collect
  3. How we use it and our lawful bases
  4. Who we share it with
  5. International transfers
  6. Automated decisions
  7. How long we keep it
  8. Your rights
  9. Cookies

How to complete it

  • List the platforms, apps and tools you actually use
  • Make sure your cookie banner matches the cookie table
  • Check retention periods match what your systems do

Key points to check

  • The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 relaxes consent for some low-risk cookies (for example some analytics) – check the commencement and ICO guidance before relying on it
  • Do not set advertising or tracking cookies before consent

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
