- Marketing/newsletter cookies — used if you interact with our newsletter sign-up or email campaigns, to measure engagement (only applicable if such tools are in use).
[Note: Confirm which of the above categories genuinely apply once your website's analytics/marketing tools are finalized — e.g., Google Analytics, Mailchimp tracking pixels — and name them specifically here for full transparency.]
