Microsoft Clarity and External Providers
The supplied configuration includes Microsoft Clarity. Its real deployment, cookies, data flows and consent gating must be checked on the live website. External destinations may use their own cookies and notices once a visitor leaves this site.
Managing Choices
Where optional technologies are used, visitors should have an accessible means to accept, decline and later revisit consent. Browser settings can also clear or block cookies, though this may affect certain features. The administrator must implement real consent controls; this explanatory page alone is not a consent mechanism.
Cookie Inventory
Cookie names, suppliers, retention periods and exact purposes must be populated after a production scan. No unverified technical inventory is asserted here. Consult the Privacy Policy for broader information on personal data.
