10. Recommendation for your developer
Can you use a recognised cookie consent solution such as Complianz or CookieYes. Configure it so that:
- Essential cookies are always active.
- Analytics and marketing cookies are disabled until the visitor gives consent.
- Users can revisit and change their cookie preferences later.
That approach aligns well with UK GDPR expectations and will give your site a professional, compliant setup.
