Cookies and website storage

Essential functions

WordPress and enabled components may use cookies or browser storage for sign-in, authenticated sessions, security checks and preference persistence. Hosting may also process connection information. Disabling essential cookies can prevent login or form submission. The local preview uses a session token for form protection; it is distinct from the production WordPress form.

Optional technologies

This policy add-on installs no advertising pixels or analytics trackers. Other active themes, plugins, embedded media or hosting services may behave differently. Before adding optional tracking, identify its purpose, provider and duration and implement the appropriate choice before it runs. A cookie notice alone does not block a tracker, and dismissing a notice is not general marketing consent.

Inventory and choices

Live inventory pending confirmation: [COOKIE / STORAGE NAME], [PROVIDER], [PURPOSE], [DURATION], [ESSENTIAL OR OPTIONAL], [CONTROL]. You can inspect and clear browser cookies and manage browser permissions; this may sign you out. The site owner must complete the inventory on both domains, including anonymous, authenticated and embedded-content journeys, and publish an updated notice when technologies change.
