Your tracking is not listed in your own cookie policy
Your site runs trackers, and your cookie page does not mention them. A visitor cannot see, from your own words, what they are being tracked with. It is usually not deliberate; the page was written before the trackers arrived.
Update the page to say what is actually running. If there is no cookie page at all, that is the finding above this one, and this half-mark goes with it.

undisclosed tracking. Trackers detected on the homepage and no cookie-policy link. Half a mark.
What the check reads. HC-48 (b), 15/09/2026: the 0.5 is earned only when leg_cookie_pol found a policy. With trackers and no policy the row costs 0.5 under its own finding (leg_undisclosed); with no trackers and no policy it still pays 0 and the cost is charged to the leg_cookie_pol finding, so the cookie-policy card is worth 1.5 rather than 1. We do not read the policy's text, so a policy that exists but lists nothing still earns the half point.
This is one of the checks in a YLB Score report. Every report is free, read by a person before it goes out, and written so that you can act on it without us. Ask for yours.
