Cookie Policy

Last updated: Reading time: 3 min

Cookie position of the static files

The static files do not set cookies by themselves. The HTML and CSS files in this website package do not include cookie-setting JavaScript, analytics tags, ad network scripts, social media pixels, embedded widgets, consent-platform scripts or affiliate tracking scripts.

Because the delivered files are static, there are no cookie banners, preference centres or cookie categories configured in the package. Cookie names, analytics vendors and ad networks should be listed only when they are present in the actual implementation.

What could change after publication

The cookie position can change if the publisher adds analytics, ads, embeds, consent tools, affiliate tracking, video players, social widgets, heatmap tools, tag managers, live chat or any other third-party service. Those tools may set cookies or similar technologies depending on their configuration.

If the publisher adds analytics, ads, embeds, consent tools or affiliate tracking, the cookie policy must be updated before publication. The update should name the relevant tools, explain the purpose of each cookie category, describe how consent is handled where required, and avoid listing cookie names unless they have been checked against the actual implementation.

Hosting and technical storage

Some hosting providers process request logs or use infrastructure-level security controls. That technical processing is separate from the static files themselves and depends on the hosting provider chosen by the publisher.

The publisher should check whether the hosting arrangement introduces cookies, local storage, security tokens, bot-protection cookies or similar technologies. If it does, this policy should be revised so readers are not given an incomplete explanation.

External websites

Editorial pages may include external links to official brand pages, regulator guidance, public registers or app-store listings. External websites are controlled by their own operators and may use cookies, tracking technologies, account tools, payment tools or consent settings that are not controlled by this static site.

Readers who follow an external link should check that website’s own cookie and privacy information before accepting cookies, logging in, registering, downloading an app or sharing personal information.

Review before launch

This cookie policy should be reviewed before the website is published. It should also be reviewed whenever the publisher changes the hosting setup, adds scripts, adds affiliate links, embeds third-party content, changes consent tools or introduces any feature that stores information on a reader’s device.
