Document actual technologies
Inventory authentication, preference, analytics and spam-prevention technologies before drafting a policy. Different browsers and geographic visitors may trigger different consent obligations.
Describe purposes and storage
Explain what each tool collects, why it is used, and how long data is retained. State whether consent is required and how it can be declined or withdrawn under applicable law.
Maintain a change process
When new marketing or analytics integrations are installed, update the inventory and consent logic. Avoid making claims about using only essential cookies if the production stack collects additional analytics identifiers.

Do not publish an answer until the site integration audit is complete.
