This covers the main transparency details identified by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, including purposes, retention and privacy rights. Your WordPress site should also display a cookie banner if it uses non-essential cookies, because the ICO requires visitors to be informed and generally requires consent for optional cookies. The children’s section reflects the US Federal Trade Commission’s COPPA guidance.
