# Add a site policy

[Site policies](/totara-20/docs/what-are-site-policies) are statements that can be presented to users arriving on your site to outline your site's terms and conditions. Users can choose to consent to a given policy, or decline. Depending on your settings, declining a site policy can bar access to the site.

Once site polices are [enabled](/totara-20/docs/enable-site-policies) you can create a new one by following these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Security > Site policies > Manage policies****.***
2. Click **Create new policy**.
3. Configure the [settings](/totara-20/docs/site-policy-settings) as required.
4. Click **Add statement** if you wish to add another statement to the policy.
5. Click **Save** to add the new site policy.
