Free Cookie Policy Generator for Wix Site โ€” UK GDPR Compliant

Wix sites operate on Wix's infrastructure, making Wix a data processor for all visitor data collected through your site. Wix automatically collects visitor analytics, enables Wix Apps that may collect additional data, and uses cookies for site functionality. If you use Wix Stores, Wix Bookings, or Wix Members, each collects its own data set that must be disclosed in your privacy policy. 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).

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 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 ยฃ17.5 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
Data retention note: Same as EU GDPR: data must not be retained longer than necessary. Document your retention schedule.
