Pre-launch note: match this policy to a real cookie scan after the form, analytics, Site Kit and security configuration are complete.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a website or its service providers. Similar technologies can store or retrieve information from a browser or device.
Strictly necessary technologies
Some technologies may be required to deliver the site, protect forms, balance traffic, remember security choices or support WordPress administration. Where genuinely necessary, they do not depend on optional analytics or advertising consent.
Optional technologies
Analytics, embedded media, advertising measurement or third-party form features may set optional cookies. They should not load before appropriate consent where UK law requires it. The live consent tool must offer a real choice and make withdrawal as easy as acceptance.
Your controls
Use the website’s cookie control when configured, or adjust browser settings to remove and block cookies. Blocking necessary storage may prevent parts of the site or form from working.
Final inventory
The launch checklist requires a scan of public pages and the form journey. Record the cookie name, provider, purpose, duration and category in the consent platform rather than publishing guesses in the theme.
