Website Legal Page Checker
Enter any website URL to instantly check if it has all essential legal pages. Get a compliance scorecard and generate any missing policies for free.
Why Check Your Legal Pages?
Missing legal pages can expose your website to regulatory fines, lawsuits, and lost business opportunities. Under GDPR, the absence of a proper privacy policy alone can result in penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global revenue. Platforms like Google AdSense, Stripe, Shopify, and Apple's App Store require specific legal documents before approving your account.
Our Legal Page Checker scans your website for 8 essential legal pages: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer, Refund Policy, DMCA / Copyright Notice, Accessibility Statement, and Contact Page. The scan checks common URL patterns, navigation links, and footer references to determine which pages exist on your site.
After the scan, you'll receive a compliance scorecard showing which pages are present and which are missing — with one-click links to generate any missing policies using our free generator.
What We Check
Which legal pages a website actually needs
The checker fetches a URL you give it and looks for the legal pages a site of that kind is expected to link to — from the footer, the navigation, or the checkout. What counts as "required" depends on what the site does:
- Every site that collects any data (including analytics or a contact form) needs a Privacy Policy. Under GDPR and CCPA this is a legal requirement, not a nicety.
- Sites using non-essential cookies in the EU or UK need a Cookie Policy and a consent mechanism that blocks those cookies until the visitor agrees.
- Sites with accounts, sales or user content need Terms of Service; online shops additionally need a Refund Policy and a Shipping Policy, which consumer law in the EU, UK and many US states requires to be visible before purchase.
- Sites earning affiliate income or giving advice need a Disclaimer and, for affiliate links, an Affiliate Disclosure that FTC rules require to be clear and conspicuous.
- Sites hosting user uploads in the US should publish a DMCA notice with a designated agent to keep safe-harbour protection.
What a "missing" result means
The scan looks for links whose text or URL matches each page type, so a policy that exists but is only reachable from a buried settings screen will show as missing — which is a finding in itself, because regulators and app-store reviewers look in the same places a visitor does. Put the links in the footer of every page.
The checker reads public HTML only. It cannot log in, run JavaScript-only navigation, or judge whether an existing policy is adequate; for that, paste the policy into the compliance checker.
