1. What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies are small pieces of data stored on a device or used to access information from a device. They can help with essential site delivery, remembering choices, traffic measurement, fraud prevention, and advertising functions where enabled.
2. Categories used on this site
Strictly necessary
These support core functionality such as load balancing, security checks, firewall protections, consent storage, and basic site delivery. They do not require the same opt-in model as optional analytics or marketing technologies in many jurisdictions, but you should verify the final rules that apply to your setup.
Analytics
These may include audience measurement and traffic reporting tools, for example Google Analytics, if you activate them. In this theme, analytics tools are designed to be loaded only after optional consent when configured.
Marketing
These may include advertising, remarketing, conversion measurement, and ad-serving technologies, including possible Google Ads or Google AdSense services if enabled on the live site.
3. Infrastructure and security providers
Your hosting provider, CDN, or security services such as Cloudflare may set or rely on cookies and request-level identifiers for performance, bot detection, DDoS mitigation, and fraud prevention. List the exact services you use and link to their official cookie documentation.
4. How to manage consent
You can manage optional analytics and marketing preferences through the consent interface available on the site. If you reject optional processing, the site should not load optional Google Analytics, Google Ads, or Google AdSense scripts unless you later choose to allow them.
5. Browser controls
You can also control or delete cookies in your browser settings. However, blocking essential technologies may affect site performance, session handling, form behavior, or security features.
6. Comment-related cookies and metadata
If commenting is enabled, the site may use comment-related cookies to remember user details where the platform offers that functionality. In addition to cookies, comment submissions may involve processing the name, email, comment content, IP address, and browser metadata for moderation, spam prevention, and abuse handling. Update this section if you enable additional anti-spam or discussion tools.
