Controls and region readiness

The banner offers Reject non-essential and Accept analytics choices with no pre-ticked optional category.
Users can reopen Cookie settings after saving a choice.

If future advertising, remarketing, or third-party analytics is added, the relevant category should stay blocked until explicit consent is recorded.
