Not the most exciting topic, but one that matters more every year: the basic legal pages every website should actually have.
Privacy Policy – Required in most places if you collect any personal data at all, including via analytics or cookies.
Terms and Conditions – Protects you legally and sets expectations for how your site/service can be used.
Cookie Consent – Required under GDPR (EU) and similar laws elsewhere if you use tracking cookies.
GDPR basics – If you have any EU visitors, you likely need a lawful basis for data collection, a way to delete user data on request, and clear consent mechanisms.
Refund/Return Policy – If you sell anything, this avoids a lot of disputes later.This isn't legal advice — laws vary a lot by country and by what your site actually does, so it's worth having an actual policy generator or lawyer review anything commercial. But skipping these entirely is a common and avoidable risk.
Does your site have all of these in place already, or is this a "get to it eventually" item?
