Thank you for this comprehensive privacy policy update! I've reviewed the changes and found several issues that need attention before this can be merged. The legal compliance additions look thorough, but there are some inconsistencies and implementation gaps that should be addressed.

The policy references footer links that don't exist yet. While the PR description mentions these as "Next Steps," the policy text implies they're already available ("Every page now displays"). Should we update the language to indicate these are coming soon, or implement the links first?

For consistency, could we standardize the terminology? The policy uses both "interest‑based advertising" (line 68) and "cross‑context behavioral advertising" (line 270). Would it be clearer to pick one primary term?
