Is Termly GDPR compliant?

ConsentStack classifies Termly's trackers as essential (strictly necessary), so its banner does not block them. That is our classification, not a legal ruling. The exemption from prior consent comes from the ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) and covers only what is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for, and the GDPR still governs any personal data, such as an IP address, sent to Termly. List Termly in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know it is there.

Overview

Termly is a privacy compliance platform that generates privacy policies, cookie policies, and consent banners. Its scripts display customizable consent banners on websites and record visitor consent choices. The platform auto-generates compliant legal documents based on jurisdiction and data collection practices.

What This Script Does

  • Displays a cookie consent banner to site visitors based on their jurisdiction
  • Records and stores visitor consent choices (accept, reject, category preferences)
  • Sets a cookie to remember the visitor's consent state across sessions
  • Scans the site for cookies and categorizes them for the cookie policy
  • Loads dynamically generated privacy policy and cookie policy content

Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Essential
  • GDPR: Termly itself is a compliance tool that helps sites meet GDPR requirements. The consent management cookie is exempt from consent requirements as it is necessary for recording consent preferences.
  • CCPA: Supports Do Not Sell/Share compliance by providing opt-out mechanisms.
  • ePrivacy: The consent preference cookie is considered strictly necessary under ePrivacy rules.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Termly is a consent management tool that must load before other scripts to collect consent preferences. Blocking it would prevent the site from meeting its legal obligations under GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy regulations.
