Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Termly or LegalBanner?
If you primarily need legal policy documents (terms of service, EULA, etc.), Termly offers a broader document suite. If your priority is technical compliance — cookie consent, GPC, Google Consent Mode v2, and tag governance — LegalBanner is the better choice.
Does Termly support all US state privacy laws?
Termly supports major US privacy laws like CCPA, VCDPA, and CPA, but may not cover newer state laws as quickly. LegalBanner tracks all enacted US state privacy laws and updates automatically.
Can I use both Termly and LegalBanner?
You could use Termly for legal policy generation and LegalBanner for cookie consent and compliance automation, though LegalBanner also includes a privacy policy generator.
