Generally, it should provide precise details about the data collected using cookies, how it is used, and for what purpose.
It is also common to include information about users' or consumers' rights regarding their data and how they can exercise these rights, as well as how to contact you for this purpose.
Having a clear and comprehensive privacy policy is an essential way to build trust with your users, showing them that you respect their rights and choices regarding consent.
It is common to find several categories of essential information in a cookie policy. Note that this policy differs from the privacy policy, although it may be included within it.
Example of content to consider in a cookie policy:
