Twitch bots and extensions have access to chat messages, viewer lists, subscription data, and channel analytics through Twitch's API and IRC interface. Extensions that overlay on stream can access viewer location and device data. Twitch's Developer Agreement requires a privacy policy for all extensions and bots that collect user data, and COPPA compliance is critical given Twitch's younger audience demographic. 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 β regardless of where the organization is based.

Yes β 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 Twitch Bot / Extension 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.
