Cookie Policy
Intro. This website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site function, protect the site, understand how visitors use it and improve performance. Some cookies are strictly necessary and some are optional.
How the policy should be used. Before launch, the cookie table below must be checked against the actual cookies generated by the final live stack, including WordPress core, theme, forms, security tools, analytics tools, embedded media, consent manager, caching tools and any marketing tags. Do not publish a cookie schedule that does not match the live site.
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation, security and core functionality of the website, for example session handling, security and consent-preference storage. They do not require consent, but users should still be informed about them.
Analytics / performance cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are viewed and how the site performs. They should only be activated after the user has given valid consent through the cookie banner or preference centre.
Functionality cookies. These cookies remember user choices and improve convenience. They should be treated according to their actual purpose and only set without consent if they are genuinely strictly necessary.
Third-party cookies. If the site uses embedded content, analytics platforms, maps, social-media integrations or other third-party technologies, the policy must explain that these providers may set cookies or similar technologies and should identify them clearly.
Managing preferences. Users should be able to accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies through a clear consent mechanism. It must be as easy to refuse non-essential cookies as it is to accept them.
Browser controls. Users can also manage cookies through browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect site performance or functionality.
Cookie schedule. Add a simple table showing: cookie name, provider, category, purpose, duration and whether consent is required. This table must be based on the actual live-cookie audit, not estimated wording.
