CLEAR INFORMATION, CONFIDENT CHOICES
Cookie Policy
This draft describes the technologies identified in the supplied website build. It does not assume that unverified hosting, account or payment settings are cookie-free.
What was found in this website
The site uses local HTML, Next.js static scripts, stylesheets and photographs. No website code setting first-party cookies or using localStorage/sessionStorage was identified in the audit. No analytics provider, advertising pixel, third-party iframe or embedded video player is configured. The membership selector changes page content without saving a tracking preference.
No optional-cookie consent banner or Cookie Preferences control is currently necessary for the technologies identified in this build. This is an audit finding, not a guarantee about all live hosting or external checkout behaviour. Check the live deployment again before publication.
| Technology | Observed status | Purpose / duration |
|---|---|---|
| Local site assets and Next.js static navigation | Present | Render pages and navigation; ordinary browser cache is not an analytics profile |
| First-party cookie or local-storage writer | Not identified in supplied website code | No names or expiry values to invent |
| Analytics / advertising trackers | Not configured | No optional provider or duration identified |
| Authentication and account cookies | Not connected | Dashboard is a design preview, not a signed-in account |
| Video embeds | Not configured | Local photos and coming-soon placeholders only |
| Netlify delivery and form services | Hosting/form declarations present | Live cookie names, purposes and expiry need deployment verification |
| Stripe-hosted checkout | External link on selection | Stripe’s payment/security technologies are assessed separately on its domain |
| Google Drive guide and social profiles | External links on selection | External services apply their own notices when opened |
Essential, authentication and security technologies
Technologies strictly necessary to provide a service you request can be treated differently from optional tracking, where the legal conditions for an exception are met. Necessity must be assessed by purpose, not assumed because a provider labels something essential.
There is no authenticated member service in the current build. If account, session-security or billing-management technologies are added, document their actual names, purpose, provider and duration before they are enabled.
Payments and external services
Stripe checkout is reached by a link and is not embedded in this website. Stripe may use technologies for payment processing, fraud prevention and its own services; consult its notices and choices. The website does not set a Stripe cookie simply by displaying a checkout link.
The guide opens in Google Drive after the configured request flow, and social links open their respective sites. There are no social widgets in this build. Those services may process device information under their own notices when you visit them.
Future analytics, marketing and video players
No analytics or marketing cookies are currently deployed by this code, and no third-party introduction video is loaded. Before adding any such technology, identify the provider, name, purpose, information accessed and expiration details, and assess the applicable consent rules and exceptions.
If optional consent-based technology is introduced, the website must offer a clear choice to accept, reject or manage it, with optional choices unticked. It must not load before the necessary consent, and a persistent way to change preferences must be available. Record consent appropriately and implement withdrawal, rather than merely adding a visual banner.
Changing your choices
Because this build has no optional tracking choices to save, it does not create a consent record or show a Cookie Preferences button. You can manage stored cookies in your browser; this may affect external services. When consent-based technology is added, this section and the footer must be updated to provide working preference controls.

Live inventory, durations and updates
[Verify the live Netlify deployment, form submission flow, configured Stripe checkout and any newly added video provider; record actual cookie names, purposes, domains, storage types and durations.] No guessed expiration periods are listed.
This draft was reviewed on 11 October 2026. Re-audit whenever technologies or providers change and update the effective date after approval.
