Free Cookie Policy Generator for React Application โ€” Australian Privacy Act Compliant

React applications are client-side rendered apps that often integrate with backend APIs, authentication providers, and third-party services. The data collected depends entirely on the app's functionality, but React apps frequently use authentication (Auth0, Firebase, Supabase), analytics (Segment, Amplitude), and feature flags โ€” each collecting user data that must be disclosed. If your React app uses local storage or IndexedDB, this must also be disclosed. Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information.

React Application โ€” Specific Considerations

React applications are client-side rendered apps that often integrate with backend APIs, authentication providers, and third-party services. The data collected depends entirely on the app's functionality, but React apps frequently use authentication (Auth0, Firebase, Supabase), analytics (Segment, Amplitude), and feature flags โ€” each collecting user data that must be disclosed. If your React app uses local storage or IndexedDB, this must also be disclosed.

Data typically collected by React Application businesses: user account data via authentication provider, usage analytics and events, feature flag exposure data, local storage and session storage data, API request logs, error tracking data

  • Authentication provider data processing (Auth0, Firebase, Clerk)
  • Client-side analytics and event tracking disclosure
  • Local storage and browser storage disclosure
  • Error monitoring service data (Sentry, LogRocket)
  • Third-party API data sharing disclosure

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Cookie Policy required under Australian Privacy Act?

A Cookie Policy is best practice for Australian Privacy Act, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For React Application businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.

What cookies does a React Application website typically use?

A typical React Application 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.

Do I need a cookie consent banner if I have a Cookie Policy?

Under Australian Privacy Act, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
