1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small data files stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts. They can support security, forms, preferences, analytics, and marketing.

2. How ProjChecks Uses Cookies

The production Site may use the following categories only when actually configured:

•        Essential: required for security, network management, forms, checkout, fraud prevention, accessibility, and core Site functions.

•        Preferences: remember choices such as display or consent settings.

•        Analytics: help understand aggregate usage, performance, navigation, and errors.

•        Advertising or social media: support embedded features, campaign measurement, or interest-based advertising. Current launch assumption is that no targeted-advertising cookies or pixels are active. Confirm before publication.

3. Consent and Controls

Where consent is required, nonessential technologies should not load until the user makes the required choice. The cookie banner must be connected to actual production tools; it must not be a decorative banner that leaves trackers active regardless of choice.

Users can adjust available cookie settings and browser controls. Some essential functions may not operate properly if required technologies are blocked.

4. Cookie Inventory

Before publication, the developer must complete and maintain a production cookie inventory that identifies each cookie or similar technology, provider, category, purpose, and duration. The inventory should match the live Site and be updated whenever integrations change.

5. Third-Party Technologies

Third-party providers may set or read technologies under their own policies. The final inventory must identify the actual providers used for hosting, checkout, analytics, scheduling, video, social embeds, customer management, and email forms.

6. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated when technologies, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date will be revised when changes are published.
