This policy is compatible with CookieYes’ default cookie scanner. Once CookieYes scans your website, it will automatically generate the live cookie declaration (listing every cookie, its provider, duration and category). The recommended approach is to place the CookieYes-generated cookie table immediately below this policy so it stays up to date automatically rather than maintaining a manual list.
