3) Cookies we use
A) Essential WordPress cookies
WordPress may set cookies needed for core functionality. These depend on site configuration and whether features like login are used.

If your site does not offer visitor accounts/login, many of these cookies may not be set for typical visitors.
B) Google Analytics cookies
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users and sessions and produce analytics reports. Depending on your implementation/configuration, cookies may include:
- _ga (often expires after ~2 years)
- ga[container-id] (often expires after ~2 years)
- _gid (often expires after ~24 hours; may not be present in all setups)
- _gat / gat* (often expires after ~1 minute; may not be present in all setups)
Cookie names and durations can change as Google updates its services.
