Final Review
I would consider this publication-ready.
More importantly, I think this document complements the Privacy Policy rather than repeating it. Together they form a coherent legal framework:
Privacy Policy → Explains how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.
Cookie Policy → Explains what cookies and similar technologies are, why they may be used, and how visitors can manage their preferences.
From a California compliance perspective, I also think we’ve struck the right balance. We’ve avoided making categorical statements about technologies that may or may not be active, we’ve built in flexibility as your website evolves, and we’ve expressly recognized that, where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will not be activated until the visitor has provided the appropriate consent. That sentence will tie directly into the Cookie Consent Banner we’ll build next and is one of the key connections between your written policies and your website’s actual technical implementation.
I would not spend additional time polishing this document. I think your time is better invested in building the Cookie Consent Banner, because that’s the piece that most directly affects how your website complies with modern California privacy expectations. After that, we’ll move on to the Terms of Use, which will likely become the strongest legal protection document for Indigo Sky Studios.
