Cookie and Analytics Notice
Version 1.0 · Effective [EFFECTIVE DATE]
Draft for attorney review. Not yet reviewed by counsel. Action required before publishing: open the site with browser developer tools, record every cookie and third party request actually present, and make this document match reality. A cookie notice that understates what the site does is worse than none.
1. The short version
This site uses only the cookies needed to function, and [either: "no analytics at all" or: "a privacy respecting analytics tool that does not track you across other sites"]. There are no advertising cookies, no social media pixels, and no cross site tracking of any kind.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie set by [HOSTING PROVIDER] | Essential | Keeps the site working, including the secure Manage my record session | Session |
| [ANALYTICS TOOL cookie, if any] | Analytics | Counts page visits in aggregate | [lifetime] |
Essential cookies cannot be switched off because the site does not work without them. If we use analytics, it is [ANALYTICS TOOL], configured without cross site tracking, and the data is aggregate counts, not profiles of you.
3. What we do not do
No advertising cookies. No retargeting. No selling or sharing of browsing data. No fingerprinting. No embedded social media trackers.
4. Do Not Track
Because this site does not track visitors across other websites and does not allow third parties to do so, there is nothing for a Do Not Track signal to switch off, and the site's behaviour does not change in response to one. We state this because California law requires websites to disclose how they respond to these signals.
5. Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential cookies may break the Manage my record page.
