If you do not add non-essential analytics/marketing tools, you only run essential cookies and can use a simple notice rather than a full consent banner. If you add any analytics or marketing cookies, you must obtain prior opt-in consent (EU) via a consent banner before they load.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break sign-in and payments. Where consent applies, you can change your choice at any time via [link to consent settings].
Privacy tip: the most privacy-friendly default is to reject non-essential cookies, with analytics off until the user opts in.
