About this lesson
Online legal policies are not decorative documents. They define the relationship between a platform and its users, explain how personal data is handled, set expectations for acceptable use, and reduce preventable disputes.
In this lesson, Professor David Grant introduces the practical roles of Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, cookie and consent notices, and related disclosures. The focus is not on drafting every clause yet, but on understanding why these documents matter, what risks they manage, and why clarity is often more valuable than dense legal language.
