Discord bots operate within Discord servers and can access messages, user profiles, server membership data, and voice channel activity depending on their permissions (intents). Discord's Developer Policy requires bots to have a privacy policy accessible to server administrators before bot installation. Users in servers where your bot operates have the right to know what data the bot collects and how long it retains it. The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the world's most comprehensive data privacy law, applying to any organization that processes data of EU residents โ regardless of where the organization is based.

Yes โ under GDPR, a Cookie Policy is legally required. You must obtain consent from users before placing non-essential cookies, and your policy must clearly explain which cookies you use and why.
A typical Discord Bot website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.
Under GDPR, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. You must also implement a consent mechanism (cookie banner) that allows users to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are placed.
