COOKIES

Clear information about website technologies.

This is a pre-launch cookie-policy draft. The final text must match the cookies, local storage, external resources and other technologies the website actually uses.

What must be checked

Inspect the live website and its dependencies to identify cookies and similar technologies, including any set by analytics, embedded content or third-party resources.

Essential technologies

Describe technologies that are strictly necessary for a specific function only after confirming that they are used and meet the applicable legal conditions.

Analytics and optional tools

If analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are introduced, document their purpose and provider and implement any consent or choice mechanism required by law before activating them.

Managing preferences

The final policy must explain the controls actually available to visitors. Do not promise a cookie preference centre unless it has been implemented and tested.

Before publication

Run a browser and server-level cookie audit, document each technology and provider, check consent requirements and have the final policy reviewed.
