The steps in this section will define common information that will be applied to all policies you create with Termageddon. I cover my settings as a company based in the United States.

- Save changes.
First Policy Setup
In this section, we will cover the creation of a Privacy Policy since pretty much every website should have one these days.
- Click the ‘Add Policy’ button.
- Choose ‘Privacy Policy.’
- Mindfully fill in the information based on your business and website.
- Click ‘Submit.’
Note: When answering the “What personal information do you collect?” questions, take advantage of the ‘Copy the same selections from:’ option to quickly fill in the information you’ve already entered for other areas.
Important: Do not rush through the policy setup. Every business is different, so you must answer the questions carefully. If you are unsure about a question, don’t guess or skip it. I’m available for non-legal advice (e.g., questions about your website), but an attorney should be consulted if something needs clarification.
Embedding Policies
In this section, we’ll cover the embedding of your first policy. Since we are using the MyListing theme, the Elementor plugin is in play, which we can use to embed the policy. You could also use the default WordPress editor’s HTML block to embed your policies.
- Create (or edit) a page named ‘Privacy Policy.’
- Edit the page with Elementor.
- Add Elementor’s HTML widget to the page.
- Termageddon > View Embed Code > Click the ‘Copy’ button.
- Paste the copied code into the Elementor HTML widget.
- Save changes.
Note: To customize the policy’s design, click the ‘Advanced’ button and adjust various styling options.
Overriding Policies
At this point, you have your Privacy Policy in place, and you can easily edit the policy details going forward from your Termageddon dashboard, including adding custom information which we’ll do here.
- Termageddon > Privacy Policy > Click the ‘Override Policy’ link.
- For any section of your policy you wish to change, click the ‘Edit Section’ button.
- Make your edits.
- Save changes.
Grant Access
You can easily grant access to your Termageddon dashboard with other team members, website professionals, clients, or an attorney.
- Termageddon > Users > Click the ‘Share License’ button.
- Enter the email of the person you wish to grant access to.
- Click the ‘Share License’ button.
Cookie Consent
If you have a plugin just for Cookie Consent purposes, that plugin can now go away. Termageddon includes a Cookie Consent solution for no additional cost as part of their partnership with UserCentrics, an EU-based company that has earned WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility certification, to assist with their Cookie Consent solution.
Initial Setup
The steps below assume you already have a Privacy Policy within your Termageddon account.
- Termageddon > Click the ‘Launch Cookie Consent Tool’ button.
- Agree to the terms and click the ‘Activate Cookie Policy and Consent Tool’ button.
- Appearance > Brand Color > Add your HEX code value or use the provided color picker.
- Appearance > Policy Settings Trigger > Choose as desired.
- GDPR Appearance > First layer appearance > Choose as desired.
- GDPR Appearance > Display Categories > Choose as desired.
- GDPR Appearance > Second layer appearance > Choose as desired.
- GDPR Content > Adjust as desired.
- GDPR Specifications > Adjust as desired.
- General Settings >Domain Settings > Enter your website’s domain. (e.g., mylisting.club).
- General Settings >Privacy Policy URL > Enter the URL of your Privacy Policy on your website. (e.g., mylisting.club/privacy-policy).
- General Settings >Imprint URL > Enter if applicable.
- General Settings > Google Consent Mode > Enter if applicable.
- Labels > Adjust as desired.
- Scan > Scan URL > Enter the URL of your website’s sitemap (e.g., https://mylisting.club/sitemaps.xml). (Note: I use SEOPress for XML Sitemaps, so your URL would be the same if you also use it.)
- Scan > Is the scan URL a sitemap URL? > Choose ‘Yes’ if you’ve entered a sitemap URL; otherwise, stick with the default option of ‘No.’
- Click the ‘Run Scan’ button.
At this point, Termageddon will run a scan across your entire website, looking for any present cookies. The scan will pre-fill the information for most of the technologies and cookies on your website. However, it is recommended that you still review the selections made by the scanner.
You can review the selections made by the scanner by clicking the ‘Edit’ button next to each identified cookie and viewing the results on the right-hand side. If your website has a cookie that the scanner does not display, you can click the ‘Add New Service’ button and fill in the information for the cookie.
- Once you’re happy with everything, click the ‘Submit’ button to save changes.
