This document still needs your details
Anything in [SQUARE BRACKETS] is a placeholder for information only you can supply — the operator name, the contact email and the hosting provider. Fill those in, then have the finished text checked by a lawyer in your jurisdiction before it goes live. This is a drafted template, not legal advice.
1What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It lets the site remember things between page loads — for example, that you have already answered the cookie banner.
Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels do the same job in a different way. Where this policy says “cookies”, it means all of them.
2How this website uses cookies
motanutest.com is a free educational website. It does not sell anything, does not require an account, and does not run advertising.
As a result the site uses very few cookies. They fall into two groups:
- <strong>Strictly necessary</strong> — needed for the site to work and to record your cookie choice. These are set without consent, because the site cannot function properly without them.
- <strong>Optional</strong> — set only after you agree, and only when you load content that needs them, such as an embedded video.
3Your choice, and how to change it
When you first visit, a consent banner asks what you want to allow. Nothing optional is loaded until you answer it — refusing is exactly as easy as accepting, and closing or ignoring the banner is not treated as agreement. Your answer is stored for six months, after which you are asked again.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer of every page, which is as easy as giving consent was in the first place. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything that happened while consent was in place, and it does not stop the strictly necessary cookies below, which the site needs in order to work.
4Cookies this website sets
These come from motanutest.com itself and are strictly necessary, so they are set without asking. A visitor who has not logged in and has not accepted anything has no cookies at all from this site.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| mt_consent | Records your cookie choice and the date and time you made it, so you are not asked again and so the choice can be evidenced. It contains no identifier and is not shared with anyone. | 6 months |
| wordpress_test_cookie | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies. Set only on the login screen. | Session |
| wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-*, wp-settings-time-* | Keep an administrator signed in and remember their editor preferences. These apply to site staff only and are never set for ordinary visitors. | Session to 1 year |
| comment_author_* | If you leave a comment and ask the site to remember you, these fill your name and email in next time. Set only if you tick that box. | 1 year |
The site uses no other storage. Nothing is written to local storage for tracking purposes.
5Third-party services that may set cookies
One external service is used, and it is blocked until you allow it.
| Service | What it is used for | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube thumbnails (Google Ireland Ltd) | The home page shows the cover images of the three newest videos, served from i.ytimg.com. Requesting those images sends your IP address and browser details to Google. They are not loaded until you allow “External media”, and a placeholder is shown until then. No video player is embedded anywhere on this site — tutorial pages link out to YouTube instead, so nothing is loaded from Google unless you click through. | policies.google.com/privacy |
Fonts are served from this website’s own server. The typefaces are not requested from Google Fonts, so no font request reveals your IP address to a third party and no consent is needed for them.
Google may set cookies under its own names and policies once you allow the thumbnails. We do not control those cookies; the link above is the authoritative source.
6Analytics and advertising
There is currently no analytics, advertising, remarketing or social-media tracking technology on this website. Nothing measures you across sites, and nothing builds a profile of you.
If that changes, the technology will be named in this policy and in the consent banner, and it will not run until you have agreed to it.
7Managing cookies in your browser
Independently of the banner on this site, every major browser lets you see the cookies stored on your device, delete them, and block new ones. The settings are usually under Privacy, Security or Site settings.
Blocking all cookies will stop the site from remembering your consent choice, so the banner will appear on every visit. Some features of other websites may also stop working.
8Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because this site runs no tracking technology, there is nothing for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off. If tracking technology is ever added, those signals will be honoured where applicable law requires it.
9Changes to this Cookie Policy
This policy is updated when the services used by the website change. When the change is significant, the consent banner asks for your choice again. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
