Key features
A cookie table
Five rows for each cookie's name, who sets it, purpose, how long it lasts and category.
Categories explained
Those the site needs to work, those that remember choices, those that measure use and those used for advertising.
What is set without asking, and how you ask
Which cookies you set without asking and why, what you show on a first visit, and how long a choice is recorded.
Changing your mind and browser controls
How a person changes their choice, what happens to cookies already set, and what stops working if they block cookies.
Others' cookies and keeping the list current
Third-party cookies with a pointer to each provider's policy, and a record of when you last checked the list against what is set.
About this document
A cookie policy describes the cookies and similar technology a website or app uses, what each is for and how long it lasts, and how people can accept, reject or change their choices. It sits alongside the privacy policy.
This blank form has a table for five cookies, a category list, and sections on what you set without asking, how you ask, how people change their mind and cookies set by others. It does not scan your site: the list has to match what your site really sets, and it is signed by the operator and a person who checked the list. What consent or notice a site must give depends on the place and the cookies, so ask a lawyer.

Questions
About the cookie policies
No. It is a policy document. The banner or consent tool on your site is a separate matter, and the form asks what you show and how a choice is recorded.
