Cookie Policy
Draft. This page explains what a cookie is and which cookies this pre-launch site sets today. The lists a lawyer has to fill are marked as pending.
Legal review pending
- This cookie policy is a draft, not a legal commitment. Its wording, and the cookie practice it describes, must be confirmed by the site owner and a qualified adviser before launch.
- No cookie name, no cookie duration, no third-party service and no consent mechanism is stated below, because none of them has been confirmed yet.
CookiesWhat a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks a browser to store on the device being used. The browser sends the file back with later requests to the same site. A cookie can be set by the site itself or by another service that a page loads.
Cookies are used to keep a session working, to remember a setting, or to measure and target advertising. Only the first two apply to this site today.
TodayCookies this site sets today
WordPress sets cookies for logged-in editors and administrators, so that the person stays signed in while working on the site.
A visitor who is not signed in receives no cookie from this site today. The site loads no analytics, no advertising script, no online shop, no social plug-in and no third-party embed.
DetailsCookie names and durations
Not yet confirmed
- The name, the purpose, the type and the lifetime of each cookie must be listed here in a table before launch. None of those values is confirmed yet.
- The table has to be written from the cookies the finished site actually sets.
CachingPage caching
Caching of the pages on this site is handled by the cache plugin of the hosting provider that serves it.
Not yet confirmed
- Whether the cache plugin sets a cookie, and what it stores in a cached copy of a page, must be confirmed with the hosting provider and stated here.
Third partiesCookies from other services
No other service sets a cookie through this site today. There is no measurement, no advertising, no map, no video embed and no chat widget on these pages.
Not yet confirmed
- If a service is added later, this section must name it, say what it does, and say what it stores before the service goes live.
- Whether such a service needs consent before it loads is a question for the site owner and a qualified adviser.
Your controlManaging cookies
Cookies can be blocked or removed through the settings of the browser being used, and most browsers allow a site to be listed as an exception. Removing cookies that are already stored is also done from the browser.
Blocking the cookies that WordPress sets for editors and administrators prevents signing in and working on the site. Blocking them has no effect on reading the public pages, because those set no cookie for a visitor.
ConsentConsent
No consent banner is shown on this site today, because no cookie is set for a visitor who is not signed in.
Legal review pending
- Whether a consent mechanism is required, and how it must be written and shown, depends on the law that applies to each visitor and on what the finished site sets. That decision must be taken before launch.
Draft statusChanges to this policy
This page is a draft. It will be revised and dated before launch, and it will be revised again whenever the cookies this site sets change.
