In short
Termly's policy generators are genuinely strong and broad (GDPR + US state laws) — that is their turf. But a policy that describes your cookies does not block them. FewCookies generates the hosted RO/EN docs AND stops trackers before consent AND wires Consent Mode v2 AND gives you an exportable receipt — from a single scan, at €6 flat.

Frequently asked questions
Does Termly not already cover my policies?
Termly's policy generator is strong — we grant that. But a policy describes your cookies, it does not block them. FewCookies generates the hosted RO/EN policies AND blocks trackers before consent.
Does Termly actually block before consent?
Their blocking is limited compared with their document generation. FewCookies uses 3-layer pre-consent blocking, including iframes, and the free scan proves it.
Is the legal text right for Romania?
Termly is US/global-leaning. FewCookies is Romanian-native and cites Law 506/2004 and GDPR Art. 6/7.
