Make changes in \vendor\magento\module-cookie\Block\Html\Notices.php

Question

I want do do changes in the following file:

\vendor\magento\module-cookie\Block\Html\Notices.php

How can I stop that file from being overwritten when doing upgrades in the future? Can I override it in some way, e.g. move it to the theme structure?

Thanks!

Create your custom module and add rewrite code in your custom module, please try following way.

Create custom module Vendor/Module

/app/code/Vendor/Module

|_ composer.json

{
    "name": "vendor/module-module",
    "description": "",
    "type": "magento2-module",
    "license": "proprietary",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "TestModule",
            "email": "[email protected]"
        }
    ],
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {},
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Vendor\\Module\\": ""
        },
        "files": [
            "registration.php"
        ]
    }
}

|_registration.php

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Vendor_Module',
    __DIR__
);

|_ etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Vendor_Module" setup_version="1.0.0"/>
</config>

|_ etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <preference for="Vendor\Module\Block\Html\Notices" type="Magento\Cookie\Block\Html\Notices" />
</config>

|_ Block/Html/Notices.php (Please add your overrited code in this file )

<?php

/**

namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Html;

class Notices extends \Magento\Cookie\Block\Html\Notices
{

    public function getPrivacyPolicyLink()
    {
        return $this->_urlBuilder->getUrl('privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode');
