## Verdict

Termly suits small to mid-sized businesses, web agencies, and ecommerce stores needing turn-key cookie banners, Google Consent Mode v2 alignment, and standardized legal disclosures without paying boutique legal fees. It is not designed to replace bespoke legal counsel for complex enterprise transactions, M&A, or heavily negotiated multi-party commercial contracts.

## What it is

Termly helps digital businesses maintain regulatory compliance across international data privacy laws including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, CalOPPA, UK GDPR, and PIPEDA. Instead of relying on unverified LLM generation, Termly uses guided questionnaires crafted and maintained by an internal legal and privacy team to assemble custom documents. Supported documents include privacy policies, terms and conditions, cookie policies, acceptable use policies, disclaimers, shipping policies, return policies, and End-User License Agreements (EULAs).

Beyond static documents, the platform delivers a full Consent Management Platform (CMP). As a Google Certified CMP Partner with Gold status, Termly supports Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF 2.3 frameworks. Its consent system features automated website cookie scanning, vendor categorization, preference centers, and region-targeted geolocation display. Websites can host policies on Termly's infrastructure to receive automatic updates whenever regulations evolve, or embed them directly onto CMS platforms like WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace.

**What makes it different:** Unlike generic generative AI prompts that risk hallucinations in statutory legal clauses, Termly couples lawyer-vetted structured questionnaire logic with an accredited Google CMP Partner setup and automated policy updates.

**Best for:** website owners and digital marketers seeking an automated consent banner with Google Consent Mode v2 alongside standard website legal policies.

**Not ideal for:** enterprises seeking customized, non-standard contract redlining or specialized corporate legal representation.

## FAQ

### Can I use Termly for free?

Yes. Termly allows users to generate, publish, and host one privacy policy for free without providing credit card details.

### Where is user consent data stored for European visitors?

Termly stores European user data securely within the EU/EEA to support compliance with regional data transfer requirements.
