+===========
+Cookies bar
+===========
+
+Cookies are small text files sent to your device when you visit a website. They are processed and
+stored by your browser and contain information about your visit, such as login data, location,
+language, etc. There are two main types of cookies:
+
+- Essential cookies, which are necessary for the website to function properly;
+- Non-essential or optional cookies, which are used to analyze your behavior or display
+  advertisements.

+
+Notifying users about data collection, as well as its methods and purposes, is required by data
+protection laws such as `GDPR <https://gdpr.eu>`_. Cookies bars are commonly used to fulfill this
+obligation in a user-friendly and transparent manner. They are displayed immediately upon a user's
+first visit to inform them that the website uses cookies and let them decide whether they want to
+store non-essential cookies on their device.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To enable the cookies bar on your Odoo website, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration` and
+enable :guilabel:`Cookies Bar` in the :guilabel:`Privacy` section.
+
+You can :ref:`customize the appearance of your cookies bar <cookies-bar/customization>` and :ref:`edit the content of
+the related Cookie Policy page <cookies-bar/policy>`.
+
+.. _cookies-bar/customization:
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+To adapt the display of the cookies bar, click :guilabel:`Edit` and select the :guilabel:`Cookies
+Bar` building block in the :guilabel:`Invisible Elements` at the bottom of the panel. Customize it
+using the options in the :guilabel:`Customize` tab in the edit panel. Three :guilabel:`Layouts` are
+available:
+
+- :guilabel:`Discrete`: thin bar
+- :guilabel:`Classic`: banner
+- :guilabel:`Popup`: you can change the popup's :guilabel:`Position` to the :guilabel:`Top`,
+  :guilabel:`Middle`, or :guilabel:`Bottom` of the screen.
+
+You can also:
+
+- modify the :guilabel:`Size` of the cookies bar;
+- enable :guilabel:`Backdrop` to gray out the page in the background when the cookies bar is
+  displayed on the screen;
+- further customize the appearance of the cookies bar using :guilabel:`Block` and/or
+  :guilabel:`Column` customization options, which are available after clicking anywhere in the
+  building block.
+
+To edit the contents of the cookies bar (i.e., the consent message), click directly in the building
+block.

+
+.. _cookies-bar/policy:
+
+Cookie policy
+=============
+
+When you enable the cookies bar for your website, Odoo creates the **Cookie Policy** page
+(`/cookie-policy`) with the list of essential and optional cookies. To access it, click the
+:guilabel:`Cookie Policy` hyperlink in the cookies bar or open the page from :menuselection:`Website
+--> Site --> Pages`.
+
+The contents of the page can be adapted based on your website's features and characteristics if
+needed.
+
+.. tip::
+   You could add a link providing access to this page, in your website's footer, for example.
