1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text records stored by a website or third-party service in a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software identifiers. They can support essential operation, preferences, measurement or advertising.
2. Current website configuration
The supplied website build does not intentionally set operator-controlled analytics, advertising or profiling cookies. It uses ordinary links to WhatsApp rather than an embedded chat widget. The hosting platform may process technical request information required to serve and protect the website.
A production-domain scan must still be completed because hosting settings, externally injected hosting controls, later integrations or browser behaviour can change the final inventory.
3. Cookie inventory
Replace this provisional inventory with verified results from the live production domain.
- [COOKIE / STORAGE NAME] — provider, purpose, category, duration and domain;
- [COOKIE / STORAGE NAME] — provider, purpose, category, duration and domain;
- If no non-essential technologies are present, state the scan date and confirm that result here.
4. Consent
Strictly necessary technologies may operate without consent where legally permitted. Analytics, preference or marketing technologies that require consent must remain disabled until the user makes a valid choice. Refusing or withdrawing optional consent must be as easy as accepting it.
5. Managing technologies
Where a consent panel is implemented, users can reopen it through a persistent ‘Cookie settings’ link. Browser controls can also block or delete cookies, although disabling necessary storage may affect website functionality. Add provider-specific opt-out links where relevant.
6. Contact and updates
Questions about website tracking can be sent to [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. Update this policy whenever the cookie inventory, providers, purposes or retention periods change, and display the effective date of the current version.
