Both policies are ready to copy and paste into Wix as separate pages. Key compliance notes:
-
Since you serve UK customers only, these are built around UK GDPR (not EU GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and recent amendments via the Data Use and Access Act 2025
-
Cookie policy reflects that you only use strictly necessary cookies, which don't require consent under PECR — but Wix may still show a cookie banner; that's fine
-
The old privacy@motherpuzzler.com reference has been replaced with hq@puzzleboat.com throughout
-
Registered address updated to 1103 The Hidden Lane, G3 8ND Glasgow
