1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device when you visit. They help the site work, remember your choices, and understand how people use it. Some are set by us, others by third-party services we use.
2. Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies. These make the site work. They handle things like security and basic navigation. The site can't function properly without them, so they don't need your consent.
Analytics cookies. These tell us how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where people drop off. We use this to improve things. We use [Google Analytics] for this. These cookies only run if you accept them.
Marketing cookies. If we run ads or track newsletter sign-ups across sessions, these cookies help us measure what's working. They only run if you accept them.
Here's a rough breakdown of what you might find:
| Cookie type | Purpose | Set by | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Security, core functionality | BrandOS | Session to 1 year |
| Analytics | Usage statistics | [Google Analytics] | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Ad and campaign measurement | [Third-party, if used] | Up to 1 year |
Swap in the exact cookie names once your site is live. Your analytics and ad tools list them in their own documentation, and a free cookie scanner can pull the real list from your live site.
