Good for
- Write a consent banner for your new website or shop
- Rewrite a confusing existing banner into plain language
- Name the buttons for accept, reject and settings cleanly
The prompt
You are a conversion copywriter and privacy-aware UX writer. Write the text for a cookie and consent banner that informs users clearly and reads as legally sound.
Context:
- Website/offer: [your product or website]
- Cookie types in use: [e.g. necessary, statistics/analytics, marketing]
- Tone: [e.g. serious and plain, or friendly and casual]
Task:
Write the full banner text. Explain briefly and honestly that cookies are used, what for (function, statistics, marketing) and that consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. No dark patterns: rejecting must be as easy and equal as accepting.
Keep in mind:
- Short, clear sentences, no legalese, no scare tactics.
- Consent is voluntary, no pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies.
- Reference links to the privacy policy and settings.
Output format:
1. Headline (max 6 words)
2. Body text (2 to 4 sentences)
3. Three button labels: Accept all / Reject / Settings
4. One short note about withdrawing consent
Note: ChatGPT gives you a solid text draft, but it is not legal advice. Have the consent mechanism reviewed by a lawyer before going live.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Is the banner text from ChatGPT legally watertight?
No, not automatically. ChatGPT gives you a clear, GDPR-friendly draft, but it does not know your exact cookie setup and is not a substitute for legal advice. Have the text and especially the technical consent mechanism reviewed by a lawyer before going live.
How do I avoid my banner counting as a dark pattern?
The prompt deliberately makes rejecting as easy and equal as accepting, with no pre-ticked non-essential cookies. Carry that into your design too: equally visible buttons and no hidden reject option.
