Cookie policy
Control over optional storage and tracking technologies.
Updated: 23 October 2026.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored in the browser. Similar technologies such as localStorage can retain settings without creating traditional cookies.
What do we use now?
The site uses localStorage key hotchpotes-consent-v1 to record consent categories and the date selected. No Google Analytics, Google Ads or other advertising trackers are installed in this delivered version.
Categories
Essential: storing your privacy choice. Analytics: optional, with no analytics integration currently installed. Marketing: optional, with no marketing integration currently installed. Both optional categories default to off.
External services
Google Fonts and Unsplash images may load from external services and reveal technical data such as IP addresses. They are not controlled by the optional analytics or marketing toggles; local hosting is recommended.
Withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings in the footer to update your choices at any time. Clearing the site’s browser storage removes saved consent.
If Google tools are added
Before enabling Google Ads, Analytics or additional tags, the actual cookies, provider details, purposes, lifetime, lawful basis and prior blocking mechanism must be documented and verified. Google-certified CMP and Consent Mode requirements may apply.
