1. Current website status
This Cookie Policy is a draft that must be verified against the deployed website before production launch. Non-essential analytics and advertising tracking are disabled by default in the current project configuration.
The website uses browser storage to remember a visitor's light, dark, or system theme preference. Browser storage is not necessarily a cookie, but it is described here for transparency because it stores a preference on the visitor's device.
3. Essential technologies
Essential technologies may be necessary to deliver the website, protect forms, route traffic, maintain security, remember a requested setting, or provide a feature specifically requested by the visitor. They should be limited to what is reasonably necessary.
Hosting, security, rate-limiting, or content-delivery providers may set operational cookies depending on the final deployment configuration. The production cookie inventory must identify any such technology actually observed after deployment.
4. Preference storage
The theme switcher stores a browser preference so the selected appearance can be applied on later visits. A visitor can change the theme through the website control or clear browser site data.
Additional preference storage should not be introduced without updating this policy and the cookie-preference interface where applicable.
5. Analytics technologies
Analytics is disabled by default. If a supported analytics provider is enabled later, the production configuration must identify the provider, information collected, purpose, retention, transfer locations, legal basis where applicable, and whether the technology is essential or optional.
The implemented analytics loader remains inactive until the visitor accepts optional analytics. Accept and Reject controls are presented with equal prominence, and a footer control allows the visitor to reopen the choice. The owner must still verify that this implementation satisfies the rules applicable to the deployed business and its visitors.
6. Duration and cookie inventory
The duration of a cookie or stored identifier depends on its actual configuration. Session technologies expire when the browsing session ends, while persistent technologies remain until their configured expiration or manual deletion.
No final production duration table is provided because non-essential providers are not configured. Before enabling them, the owner must create and maintain an accurate inventory containing the name, provider, purpose, category, duration, and domain of each cookie or similar identifier.
Owner action required: verify the deployed website with browser developer tools and document every observed storage item.
7. Visitor controls
Visitors can use browser settings to inspect, block, or delete cookies and site data. Blocking essential technology can prevent parts of a website from working correctly.
A consent interface is implemented and appears only when optional analytics is configured. It provides clear Accept and Reject choices, stores the selected preference locally, and provides a footer control to reopen the choice. Clearing browser site data also clears the saved preference.
8. Third-party providers
A third-party provider may process information under its own terms and privacy documentation. The production website should link to the relevant provider documentation only after the provider is selected and verified.
Enabling a provider is a technical and legal decision. It must not occur merely by entering an identifier without reviewing data flows, consent requirements, contracts, and policy updates.
9. Changes and contact
This policy must be updated whenever the website's storage technologies or providers change. Cookie or privacy questions may be submitted through the Contact page using the legal or privacy inquiry option.
