Can an agent replace Termly?
Privacy policy generator plus a cookie consent banner, aimed at small websites.
The policies, yes; an agent drafts them as well from the same questionnaire. The consent banner is different: if you run ads you need a Google-certified consent platform logging every choice, and certification is not something an agent can hold.
- Indicative spend
- €15/mo
- What it actually costs
- free tier exists; Pro is roughly €15/mo per site
- Verdict
- You still want the storage and the interface. You no longer need the tier you are on.
What the agent takes over
Every job this product exists to perform, with our verdict on each. Follow one through for the step-by-step breakdown.
- Compliance checksMostly, for monitoring rather than for deciding. An agent checks documents, expiries, and records against a checklist continuously and never forgets. Signing off compliance remains a named human responsibility, usually by law.MOSTLY
- DocumentationYes, and it fixes the real problem, which was never writing documentation but keeping it true. An agent regenerates docs as the code changes, which no human team has ever sustainably managed.YES
What is left of it
CMP certification and hosted consent logs. Tiny, but real, and priced accordingly.
What you would still need it for
- The certified consent banner and its logged records
What replaces it
- An agent drafting the privacy and cookie policies for your actual data flows
The brief
What you would tell an agent to take over from Termly, assembled from the jobs above.
I want to downgrade Termly. It currently does: Privacy policy generator plus a cookie consent banner, aimed at small websites. Take over this work: - Compliance checks — MOSTLY. Mostly, for monitoring rather than for deciding. An agent checks documents, expiries, and records against a checklist continuously and never forgets. Signing off compliance remains a named human responsibility, usually by law. - Documentation — YES. Yes, and it fixes the real problem, which was never writing documentation but keeping it true. An agent regenerates docs as the code changes, which no human team has ever sustainably managed. Do not take over: - The certified consent banner and its logged records These stay with me across all of it: - Sign-off and attestation - Regulatory interpretation - The relationship with your regulator - Architectural rationale - Deciding what deserves documenting - The overall narrative Before we start, tell me: which of these you cannot do with the access I can actually give you, and what would break if this ran unattended for a month. — brief built at cananagentdo.com/termly
