A legal statement is not a requirement for all blogs, but it can be a good idea to have one in place. A legal statement can help protect your rights, set expectations for your audience, and reduce the risk of legal issues or disputes. Here are some common legal statements that you may want to consider including on your blog:

DISCLAIMER: A disclaimer can help protect you against liability for the content you publish on your blog.

PRIVACY POLICY: A privacy policy can explain how you collect, use, and protect your audience's personal information, as well as explain their rights with regards to their data.

TERMS OF SERVICE: A terms of service can outline the rules for using your blog and set expectations for your audience.

COPYRIGHT NOTICE: A copyright notice can protect your rights to the content you publish on your blog and explain how others can use your content.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE: An affiliate disclosure can be required by law if you are promoting affiliate products or services on your blog and earning a commission from them.

It is important to note that laws vary by country and region, so it is a good idea to consult a lawyer or legal resource to ensure that your legal statements are appropriate and meet any relevant legal requirements.

In summary, including a legal statement on your blog is not a requirement, but it can be a good idea to have one in place to protect your rights, set expectations for your audience, and reduce the risk of legal issues or disputes.

If you plan to make money form your blog, it should include a legal statement. No matter what monetization methods you are using, having privacy policy, disclaimer, and terms of services pages on your blog is mandatory. If you want to use adsense and other ads, you won't be approved until you have privacy policy page. If you want to sell your own product instead of third party ads, you still need legal statement. Some countries even require you to have level statement even when it is not monetized. For instance, your website needs to show cookie policy to the users in EU region.
