Důležité poznámky k novým verzím:

Google Fonts a YouTube: Ponechal jsem Google Fonts jako “Functional” (což je běžná a akceptovatelná klasifikace). YouTube je nyní správně zařazeno jako “Marketing / Social Media” cookie. U YouTube videí si ověřte, že skutečně generují cookies (pokud je vkládáte standardně, většinou ano) a že se tyto cookies nenastaví, dokud uživatel neschválí “Marketing/Social Media” cookies.

Konzistence je klíčová: Nyní jsou obě politiky v souladu. Vaše Privacy Policy přiznává, že používáte cookies pro marketing a sociální média (s vaším souhlasem), a Cookie Policy to detailněji rozvádí.

Sekce “Miscellaneous Unknown”: Toto je stále kritický bod. Musíte zjistit, co jsou tyto cookies, k čemu slouží a jak dlouho se uchovávají. Dle GDPR musíte být o všech cookies informováni. Pokud je nedokážete identifikovat, neměly by být používány.

Implementace Cookie Banneru: Váš cookie banner musí správně fungovat:

Žádné cookies (kromě striktně funkčních) se nesmí načíst, dokud uživatel neudělí souhlas.

Musí nabízet samostatnou možnost souhlasu/nesouhlasu pro “Statistics”, “Marketing/Tracking” a “Social Media” cookies.

Musí umožňovat snadné odvolání souhlasu (např. přes odkaz v patičce “Manage Consent”).
