16. Important Compliance Note
This Cookies Policy is designed to be broad and privacy-protective, but actual legal compliance depends on how your Website operates in practice.
For example, if your site uses analytics, video embeds, ad tags, social pixels, or cross-site tracking, your consent banner and blocking behavior must match that reality.
A cookies policy alone does not create compliance. Your banner, settings tool, scripts, and real cookie usage must all align with what this page says.
