Draft cookie policy \u2014 cookie audit outstanding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a starting point for a live cookie notice. The actual cookies, local-storage entries, analytics scripts and third-party services must be checked in a real browser before publication as a final notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. What cookies and similar technologies do<\/h2>\n

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks a browser to store. They can support sign-in, preferences, security, statistics and third-party content. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and device identifiers.<\/p>\n

2. Essential website functions<\/h2>\n

WordPress and installed components may need technical cookies or session data to maintain administrative login, operate the contact form, provide anti-spam protection and protect the website. These may be strictly necessary for a service requested by a visitor. Exact names, providers and durations must be confirmed through a site audit.<\/p>\n

3. Performance and analytics<\/h2>\n

The bespoke Twizu theme does not intentionally implement a separate analytics or advertising tracker. However, hosting infrastructure and installed plugins may process technical information, and future analytics tools could introduce optional cookies. [VERIFY INSTALLED ANALYTICS AND MEASUREMENT TOOLS, COOKIE NAMES, PURPOSES AND DURATIONS.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Google reviews and third-party embeds<\/h2>\n

The sample testimonials currently shown on the homepage are static placeholders and do not need a live Google review feed. If a real Google Business Profile widget, video embed, map or social-media integration is introduced, it may contact third-party services. Review each integration’s cookie and data-processing behaviour before enabling it.<\/p>\n

5. Indicative cookie register<\/h2>\n

The register below is a review checklist, not a claim that any specific cookie is currently set<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n
ESSENTIAL<\/small><\/p>\n

Session and login controls<\/h3>\n

Potential WordPress authentication cookies, where required for signed-in users. Confirm names and retention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SECURITY<\/small><\/p>\n

Anti-spam and protection<\/h3>\n

Form security or hosting protections may use identifiers. Confirm functionality and applicable exceptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

OPTIONAL<\/small><\/p>\n

Analytics or preference storage<\/h3>\n

Not intentionally built into the Twizu theme; verify active plugins and future additions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

THIRD-PARTY<\/small><\/p>\n

Embedded services<\/h3>\n

Review Google reviews and other widgets individually before using them in production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

6. Consent and controls<\/h2>\n

Under UK privacy rules, non-essential cookies generally require information and appropriate consent before placement. Essential cookies may be exempt in qualifying situations. [CONFIRM WHETHER A CONSENT-MANAGEMENT PLATFORM IS REQUIRED, CONFIGURE IT, AND DOCUMENT HOW CONSENT CAN BE WITHDRAWN.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also manage or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies may disrupt sign-in or certain functions.<\/p>\n

7. Contact and updates<\/h2>\n

Questions about cookies can be sent through our contact page<\/a> or [INSERT VERIFIED PRIVACY CONTACT]<\/strong>. Draft prepared 13 October 2026. Complete a fresh review whenever hosting, plugins or third-party widgets change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
