Cookies and similar technologies used on substify.cw
Cookies are small files stored on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels and tags. They can support essential functions, remember choices, measure use and assist marketing.
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Typical duration |

| Analytics | Understand visits, performance and navigation | Required where applicable | As configured |
| Functional | Remember optional preferences and embedded features | Required where applicable | As configured |

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without optional consent where permitted. Analytics, functional and marketing cookies remain disabled until valid consent is obtained. The cookie banner lets visitors accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences. Choices can be changed later from Cookie settings in the footer, without disadvantage. Withdrawing consent does not affect earlier lawful processing.
A technical scan of substify.cw found no LinkedIn, Instagram or other social-media pixels, tags or embeds. Those services appear only as outbound footer links. Clicking a link leaves substify.cw and the destination platform may set its own cookies under its terms. Google Analytics scripts and cookies load only after analytics consent, and only when a measurement ID is configured. Embedded third-party content, if added later, must not load until the visitor has given the relevant consent.
Scan date: 11 September 2026. Pages reviewed: homepage, Cookie Notice, Privacy Notice, Contact and About on substify.cw, plus the current website implementation. The first HTTP response did not set cookies. No third-party cookies, pixels or embedded widgets were observed before consent. No marketing cookies are currently placed.
