Free Cookie Policy Generator for React Application — GDPR Compliant

🇪🇺 Key GDPR Requirements

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 — regardless of where the organization is based. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.

• Lawful basis for processing must be identified and documented (consent, contract, legitimate interest, etc.)
• Privacy by design and default must be embedded in your systems
• Data subjects have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port their data
• Data breaches must be reported to supervisory authorities within 72 hours
• A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is required for large-scale processing of sensitive data
• Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) required with all third-party processors
• International transfers outside the EEA require specific safeguards (SCCs, adequacy decisions)

React Application — 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 — 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
