No Privacy Policy = AdSense rejected instantly. GDPR fine = €20 million.

Step 1: Why Every Blogger Needs Privacy Policy 2025
If you collect emails, use AdSense, or Analytics, law requires this page.

- Affiliates: Amazon, ClickBank require privacy page

Step 5: Add Privacy Policy to Footer + Menu
Google crawlers must find it. Don't hide the page.
| Location | How to Add | Why |
| Footer | Layout → Footer → Add Gadget → Pages → Check Privacy Policy | Required by AdSense |
| Top Menu | Layout → Pages → Edit → Check Privacy Policy | Users find it easily |
| Sidebar | Layout → Add Gadget → Pages → Privacy Policy | Extra visibility |
Bad practice to avoid: Copy-pasting another blog's privacy policy. Illegal + AdSense detects duplicate. Generate unique one.
Important: Update date yearly. If you add new plugins, email list, or affiliate links, update policy. For EU traffic, add cookie consent popup: Layout → Add Gadget → HTML/JavaScript → Search "cookie consent code". Privacy Policy + Terms + Disclaimer = 3 legal pages every blog needs.
