Cookie policy

This page is the working end of the demo. Everything below is read live from the browser, so whatever the banner has actually done is what you see — not a description of what it ought to have done.

What this site sets

CookieWhenWhy it is here
vc_visitor On arrival, before any decision Deliberately wrong. The scanner exists to find cookies set before consent, and it needs something to find. This is the only thing on the site done badly on purpose.
vc_analytics Only after statistics is accepted The correct pattern: nothing is written speculatively, and nothing is written back if consent is withdrawn.
yupkit_consent When the banner is answered The banner's own record of the decision, on this domain. First party, and the only thing the embed stores.

Changing your mind. There is no control here yet. The embed renders nothing once a decision is stored and exposes no way for a page to reopen it, so a "Cookie settings" link in this footer would be a dead link — and a visitor has to be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it. Clearing yupkit_consent in devtools and reloading is the only way today.

Third parties

One: an embedded video on the home page, from youtube-nocookie.com, which is not requested at all until marketing cookies are accepted. Before then no request leaves the page, which is stronger than loading it and hoping the "nocookie" domain behaves.
