COOKIES • DRAFT FOR REVIEW

Understand the tools
used on the site.

The live policy must describe the technology actually installed—not a standard list copied from another SaaS.

Current preview

The generated standalone preview includes no third-party analytics, advertising pixel, cookie-setting script, or form submission. It does not establish how a future production site will operate.

Required production inventory

For each cookie or similar storage mechanism, disclose its name or identifier, provider, purpose, category, duration, and whether it is first- or third-party. Include equivalent browser storage and tracking technology where relevant. [ACTUAL_COOKIE_AND_STORAGE_INVENTORY].

Essential operation

Identify any authentication, security, load-balancing, or preference storage actually required for the service. Do not label analytics or advertising technology “essential” merely to avoid a choice.

Optional analytics and marketing

Describe actual providers and purposes, relevant data flows, and any applicable consent requirements. Optional technology should respect the user’s settings. [IMPLEMENTED_CONSENT_MODEL_AND_PROVIDERS].

Proposed preference controls

Buttons: Accept optional cookies · Reject optional cookies · Manage preferences. Optional categories should not be preselected where consent is required. Provide a persistent way to revisit preferences and make rejection as accessible as acceptance.

Retention and third parties

List actual durations and provider policies. A user withdrawing consent does not necessarily erase data already lawfully processed; explain the available deletion or rights-request route accurately.

Questions

Contact [VERIFIED_PRIVACY_CONTACT]. Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE]. A final cookie banner must be tested against the scripts actually deployed, rather than functioning only as decorative UI.
