How to manage your My Agile Privacy® Policies

Last updated: July 30, 2026

Your policies write themselves and stay up to date when the law changes. All you have to do is publish them on the right page.

My Agile Privacy® generates two documents for you: the Cookie Policy and the Personal Data Policy. You don't have to write them by hand: you configure them by answering a few questions, and from that moment on they stay aligned with the regulations you have enabled.

 

Where to find your policies

Go to My Agile Privacy® › Policies List. You will find your two documents listed with three pieces of information:

  • Policy — the name of the document: Cookie Policy or Personal Data Policy
  • Allow automatic updates ? — Yes or No, the automatic update status of that document
  • Last update — the date and time the text was last updated

Click a policy name to open it.

How the content is configured

You don't write the text of your policies in the editor: you configure it by answering the questions in the Policy Assistant, which you will find under My Agile Privacy® › Policy Assistant.

There you state where you operate, who the data controller is, what your website actually does and whether you transfer data abroad. Your policies are rewritten based on your answers.

This is the most important step of all, and it has a guide of its own: Guide to using the My Agile Privacy Policy Assistant.

Note: when you open a policy you will see the Active regulations box at the top, listing the regulations you are applying (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD and the others). If the one you need is missing, add it from the Policy Assistant, not from here.

 

Publishing your policies on your website

Two things are needed before your visitors can read them.

1. Add the shortcode to the page. Create (or open) the page that will host the document and paste the matching shortcode:

  • Cookie Policy:
  • Personal Data Policy:

You will also find it ready to copy at the top of the policy edit screen, under "Remember to add the following shortcode to the correct page".

2. Link the page in your settings. Go to My Agile Privacy® › Settings › Policies and Regulations and connect each document to its page. For each one, use Url or Page ? to choose between a page on this website and an external address.

Without this link the banner does not know where to send your visitors: the shortcode alone is not enough.

Tip: turn on Show the policy link in the banner to place the link directly in the first layer of the cookie banner, where your visitors will find it straight away.

 

Automatic updates

When regulations change, or when something changes in your website configuration, My Agile Privacy® rewrites the text of your policies. You don't have to do anything.

The switch that controls this behaviour is in the Allow updates? box on the right, in the edit screen of each policy. It works per document: you can keep it on for the Cookie Policy and off for the Personal Data Policy, or the other way round.

The policy edit screen: the shortcode to copy, the active regulations and the Allow updates box on the right

With the switch on — which is the recommended setting — every update replaces the title and the text of the document with the new version. The date you see in the Last update column is when that happened.

We recommend leaving it on. It is what keeps your policies compliant over time, without you having to follow how regulations evolve.

 

Editing the text by hand

You can change the text. Open the policy and press Edit Policy: the preview gives way to the editor and from there you can write whatever you want.

Careful: if you leave automatic updates on, your changes will be overwritten. At the first update the text goes back to the version generated by the system and whatever you had written is lost.

If you really need a change and you want to keep it:

  • open the policy
  • in the Allow updates? box set the switch to No
  • save, then edit the text

From that moment on the document is yours and nothing will touch it again.

The trade-off has to be spelled out: with automatic updates off, that policy no longer receives regulatory updates. It stays exactly as you left it, even if the law changes. Keeping it up to date becomes your responsibility, or your privacy consultant's.

That is why, before turning the switch off, it is worth asking whether the change you have in mind could be achieved from the Policy Assistant instead: in most cases it can, and that way you keep both benefits.

 

Multilingual websites

If a multilingual plugin is active on your website, opening a policy shows the text in every language you have configured, each in its own tab. Translations are updated automatically too, with the same switch.

The full setup for websites in more than one language is explained here: How to configure My Agile Privacy for multi-language websites.
