Note for the business (delete before publishing): The cookie tables must list the actual cookies your website sets — your web developer can generate this list, or you can run a free scan with a tool like CookieServe or your consent platform (e.g. Cookiebot, CookieYes). Under UK PECR rules, non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) must not fire until the visitor consents, so make sure your cookie banner genuinely blocks them until accepted — a banner that only informs is not compliant. Delete any sections/rows that don’t apply.
