What Cookies Are
Cookies are small browser values that websites may use to remember information between page requests. Similar browser storage, such as localStorage, may also be used for website preferences.
Cookie Categories
Required Cookies
Required cookies support basic website behavior. If Packet #10 - User Login System is installed, PHP may use a session cookie to keep a signed-in user authenticated. The cookie-consent system may also store a visitor's cookie choice.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help understand general website usage. Packet #14 - Google Analytics should only be enabled after the website owner chooses the desired consent behavior and adds the analytics configuration.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing or advertising cookies may be used by advertising, donation, social-media, or embedded third-party services. Remove this section if the website does not use those services.
Current Template Behavior
The basic starter does not add analytics or marketing cookies by itself. This packet can add a cookie choice banner and store the visitor's choice in a cookie named template2026_cookie_choice.
The Cookie System is controlled by $template2026CookieSystemEnabled in /assets/includes/header/global-variables.php.
Visitor Choices
The cookie banner and settings panel are currently disabled for this website. Turn on $template2026CookieSystemEnabled before publishing this page on a site that uses optional cookies.
Browser Controls
Visitors can also review cookie and storage settings in their browser. Blocking cookies may affect login, preferences, or other website features.
Contact
Add the preferred contact method for cookie questions. After Packet #15 - Contact Us Page is installed, this section can link to /contact/.
