Cookie Policy
The current static files for Gransino UK Guide do not set cookies by themselves. This page explains that starting position and the updates required if the publisher adds tools later.
Current cookie position
The supplied site files contain editorial HTML, a stylesheet, image instructions and article pages. They do not include analytics scripts, advertising scripts, embedded third-party widgets, affiliate tracking scripts, consent management tools, account functions, forms, payment flows or social media embeds.
Because those tools are not present in the current files, this policy does not list cookie names, analytics vendors, advertising networks, tag managers, consent platforms, affiliate networks or other tracking providers. No cookie name, vendor or ad network should be listed unless the publisher actually adds that tool to the published site.
Static pages and hosting infrastructure
A static website can still be delivered through a hosting provider, server, cache or content delivery setup after publication. Depending on the final setup, the provider can use server logs, security checks, caching systems, load balancing or other infrastructure. Those processes are separate from cookies set by the site files themselves.
The publisher should review the final hosting environment before launch. If a hosting, security, analytics or consent service sets cookies or uses similar technologies, the cookie policy should describe that service accurately and should not rely on generic vendor lists.
If analytics or advertising are added
If the publisher adds analytics, advertising, tag managers, consent tools, affiliate tracking, embedded media, live chat, testing tools, social widgets or any other script that stores or reads cookies or similar technologies, this policy must be updated before publication or before those tools are activated.
An updated cookie policy should identify the tool, explain the purpose of the cookie or similar technology, state the cookie name where known, identify whether it is first-party or third-party, give the usual duration, explain whether it is necessary or optional, and describe how readers can manage consent where consent is required.
Affiliate and advertising tracking
The current site files do not include affiliate tracking links, advertising pixels or registration forms. If the publisher later adds affiliate links or advertising tools, the policy should explain the tracking method, the relevant provider, the reader choice controls and the relationship between tracking and external websites.
Affiliate or advertising tools should not be described as active unless they are actually present in the published files. The cookie policy should match the live site, not a planned monetisation model.
Reader controls
Readers can use browser settings to block, delete or limit cookies. Browser controls can affect how other websites work, especially websites with account areas, payment flows or personalised services. This editorial site should not require a reader to accept tracking cookies from the current files in order to read the pages.
If optional tools are added later, the published site should provide the appropriate consent route and keep this policy aligned with the actual tools in use.
Keeping this policy accurate
The publisher should review this page whenever the site is moved to a new hosting setup, connected to analytics, connected to advertising, linked to affiliate tracking, given forms, or connected to any embedded third-party service.
The page should not include cookie tables, vendor names, ad networks, analytics platforms, tag managers, consent vendors or retention periods unless those details are known and apply to the published site.
Similar technologies
Cookie rules can also cover technologies that store information on a device or read information from a device, including local storage, pixels, device identifiers and embedded third-party scripts. The current site files do not add those technologies.
If the publisher adds a technology that tracks page views, measures advertising, remembers consent, personalises content or follows affiliate referrals, that technology should be described here before it is used.
Necessary and optional categories
If cookies are introduced later, the publisher should separate necessary cookies from optional cookies. Necessary cookies support basic delivery or security. Optional cookies can include analytics, advertising, embedded media, affiliate tracking or personalisation.
Optional cookies should not be treated as active on this site unless the relevant tool is present in the live files. Where consent is required, the published site should explain the choice clearly and respect the reader’s decision.
External links and cookies
The editorial pages can link to official sources or other external websites. Those websites can set their own cookies and use their own tracking or account tools. Their cookie notices are separate from this policy.
Readers who open an external site should review that site’s cookie choices before logging in, accepting optional tools, creating an account, depositing, submitting documents or using support features.
Review before publication
The cookie position should be checked immediately before publication because the final hosting setup can change. A domain can be connected to analytics, security, caching, consent tools or affiliate tracking after the editorial files are prepared.
If any such tool is added, the publisher should update this page and test the live site so the policy describes the cookies and similar technologies that readers actually encounter.
