Free Cookie Policy Generator for React Application — UK GDPR Compliant

🇬🇧 Key UK GDPR Requirements

Following Brexit, the UK retained its own version of GDPR (UK GDPR), supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018. The UK GDPR is closely aligned with EU GDPR but enforced by the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office). UK GDPR fines can reach £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover. Organizations serving both UK and EU residents must comply with both frameworks.

• Same core principles as EU GDPR: lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation
• UK-specific lawful bases for processing must be documented
• ICO registration required for most data controllers (annual fee applies)
• PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) governs cookies and e-marketing
• International data transfers require UK adequacy decisions or UK-specific SCCs
• Data breaches must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours

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
