Your site needs a privacy policy, terms, and a cookie notice, and Giant Context gives you a place to keep them that isn't just words pasted into a page. Legal documents are versioned: you draft, you publish, and a published version is frozen, so you always know exactly what was live and when. Your pages read the published version, so the policy on your site is always the one you last signed off on.
A legal document has a type — privacy policy, terms of service, acceptable use policy, cookie policy, or a custom one — and a version history. Editing makes a new draft; publishing locks that version so it can't change underneath you. To publish, every language you've enabled has to have content, so you can't accidentally ship a policy that's blank in one of your languages.
Legal content reaches your site through the LegalDocument block, which works in one of three modes depending on where the text comes from.
Whichever mode you use, the block fills in your organization's name where the text calls for it, and it renders in the visitor's language.
You don't set this up from scratch. When your site is created, it comes with published Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Policy pages already in place, built from the templates. There's also a Cookie List block for the cookie notice itself — it lays out your cookies by category, Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, and Preferences, with the necessary ones marked always-on.
One honest note: the built-in templates are a starting point, not legal advice. The words are yours to read and make your own, and you'll want a lawyer to review anything you rely on.
A published Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Policy, built from the built-in templates and using your organization's name. You can edit them or replace them with your own.
Template renders a built-in document; Custom renders markdown you write in the block; Project binds to one of your published versioned documents so the page tracks what you last published.
A published version is frozen — it can't change. Editing creates a new draft and a new version. Publishing requires content in every language you've enabled.
No. They're a reasonable starting point, not counsel. Read them, make them your own, and have a lawyer review anything you rely on.
