If you are an individual blogger or someone who sells items or products online, it’s important from moral and legal standpoint to have a privacy policy and terms & conditions webpage on your website. Privacy policy and terms and conditions should clearly set forth the rules and conditions for user conduct, content, age criteria, refunds etc. Now even Google Ad-sense requires publishers to have a privacy policy which at least talks about cookie creation by Ad Sense.
If you are among those who have no idea on how to go about creating a privacy policy or do not have adequate funds to hire a legal council, there are websites which can help you generate privacy policy and terms and conditions content for free by just answering few questions about your website.
Here is a list of websites you can use to create Privacy Policy and Terms & conditions page:
