1. Data minimisation

Collect only the information needed to operate the feature requested. A recipe calculator should work without an account and should not need personal details. Avoid collecting sensitive information through general enquiry forms.

2. Essential technical storage

Some storage may be needed for security, load balancing, accessibility or a feature explicitly requested by the user. Classify each technology accurately and explain its purpose.

3. Analytics

If analytics are installed, document the provider, events collected, retention period, international transfers and available opt-out controls. Configure consent where required and avoid collecting unnecessary identifiers.

4. Advertising and affiliate measurement

If advertising pixels, affiliate links or conversion tags are introduced, disclose them and apply relevant consent requirements. Do not enable non-essential tracking before valid consent where required by law.

5. Cookie preferences

A production website should offer a clear way to accept, reject and customise non-essential cookies where required, and a persistent way to revisit choices. The preference record should reflect the actual tools and categories used. This HTML preview does not install tracking cookies or provide a production consent manager.

6. Data requests

Publish a monitored contact route for access, correction, deletion, objection or other applicable rights requests. Verify identity proportionately and respond within the legal time limit that applies.

7. Vendors and retention

Keep an inventory of hosting, forms, mailing list, analytics, advertising and embedded content providers. Record what each receives, why it is needed, how long information is retained and what safeguards apply.

8. Review process

Review this page whenever tools, forms, advertising, newsletter services or legal requirements change. The live statement must match real practice.
