They may support:

4. Cookie Consent and Preferences

When a visitor first accesses the website, a cookie consent banner may provide the following choices:

• Accept all cookies

• Select individual cookie categories
• Review detailed cookie information

Rejecting optional cookies will not prevent access to the principal informational content of the website.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

5. Current Cookie Information

The exact cookies used by the website may change as WordPress plugins, analytics tools, embedded services or website functionality are updated.

The current list of active cookies, including their provider, purpose, category and duration, should be displayed through the website’s Cookie Settings panel.

This information should be reviewed whenever a new plugin, external service, analytics platform, video, map or form service is added to the website.

Browser controls differ depending on the browser and device being used.

Blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality, appearance or performance of parts of the website.

CoVE SShaRP does not directly control cookies placed by third-party websites or platforms.

Visitors should review the relevant third-party privacy information before activating or interacting with embedded external content.
