Any EU business that uses cookies must comply with the EU Cookies Law, which requires a Cookie Policy to be in place. Visitors to your website must be alerted that cookies are in use, what kind of cookies are in use, and given the option to opt out of having these cookies placed on their devices.
A Cookie Policy is where this information can be thoroughly detailed and explained to your visitors.
While pop-up boxes and banner notifications alert users that cookies are being used and can allow for an option to opt out within that box or banner, this kind of policy is where further information can be detailed and presented to your visitors.
The EU's GDPR requires that you get consent to use most cookies, and having a cookie notification is the perfect way to do this.
